Diagnosed with UC first 8 months ago which then got changed to crohns after an abccess ruptured (at work mind you). This disease is KILLLING me if not physicaly then def mentally and emotionaly.
My wife while at times seems concerned spends most of her time laughing and giggling at some of the stuff I am forced to do like wearing an adult diaper or maxipad to keep the blood and puss from my 2cnd abccess from ruining my clothes or the furniture. Its hard for someone not going through this to understand why you do not want to get up off the couch and close proximity to a toillete just to go some place as simple as the grocery store.
I spent most of my 39 years affraid to go to the bathroom in public places, so it is pure irony that this has happened to me.
I have only been hospitalized once (blood loss) no surgeries knock on wood. Pred has gone from as much as 80mg, from what I have read I have tken the usual meds. Pred, Flagyl, Cipro, Azathropine (sp). Currenlty use Cimzia but will be starting Remicae on Wed.
