Welcome. You have found a good place for support. Come anytime. I am sorry you have been through what you have been through. I don't know the answer to your question but I am sure someone will.
 
Well looks like I have to go up to Tampa so they can locate my strictures. And then surgery to remove small bowel where they are located. Just to mark exact location is a 2hour surgery on its own..no wonder I've been so sick. Was supposed to have a capsule but the patency one(fake one) got stuck so the couldn't do the real one! Oh vey! Life sucks.

Hi Julie,

My surgeries were for abscess drainage and multiple complex perianal intersphincteric fistulas, I had a lot of work done on me. It eventually got better. It sure did suck for a while though. I'm an undiagnosed IBD case. I am disabled due to surgical procedures. Still I am far more able than I am disabled. I'm just glad to have the surgeries (14) over with. For now at least, I feel pretty good.


I hope you can feel better soon too,

cmack
