Hello there. My name is Paul and i was just diagnosed with Crohns 2 days ago, I have had bowel problems for a few years, and underwent lots of tests (colonoscopy, endoscopy, blood tests, CT scan, SEHCAT) Originally i was diagnosed with severe malabsorption and put on Questran sachets, but i went up to the highest dose and it didnt improve. I went to see another specialist and told them of my other symptoms, aching hips and knees, cuts and sores on the side of my mouth, itching and pain around the anus, and strangely sores on my head!
All the tests i previously had showed me negative for crohns, but faced with all this they have given me a diagnosis of crohns, although they couldnt say why they had missed it before. At the moment i am on a course of steroids (prednisone) and calcium tablets.
I was just wondering if anyone else has had an experience like this, as it seems very strange that it hasnt been picked up before this.
Many thanks for your help,
Paul
