Hi all!
I'm new to this but was diagnosed with Crohn's two year ago. I've had it for at least 15 years I think but was told it was iibs. I've had four admissions and sent home with paracetamol after each I manage relatively well and had worked out what I could and couldn't eat prior to diagnosis on the whole although keep discovering new things! I've been very tired and felt generally rubbish for a few months on and off so was sent for an MRI scan. Previously I had very small patches of inflammation with the worst part being the illeo caecal valve which also had scarring. Now I've been told I have 15-20 cms of inflammation in my small bowel and have been started on budesumide. I'm wanting to know from people if this is considered to be moderate in the Crohn's world or still mild in the scheme of how bad it can get? Obviously I'm less well at the moment but overall manage ok!
Thanks all
