Hi all - I was diagnosed with Crohns and was scheduled to start on Humira. Went to speak with an expert on biologics and he looked at my labs and questioned the diagnosis. New barrage of tests including a Crohns test that was never given and yesterday was told it's not Crohns, not cancer. Tests do not support Crohns. Have "nasty ulcers" in the small bowel--- strictures --- history of aspirin use but not recent. He is giving me Entacort to heal the ulcers -- gallbladder working at 20% and gallstones. Has anyone ever heard of ulcers and strictures that are NOT Crohns? :ywow: I did use aspirins in an irresponsible way for years but the last 10 years, using tylenol product for my migraines. I'm hopeful but...reluctant to buy it. He mentioned a 6 month window and I've probably taken aspirins...maybe 2-4 per 3 months average. I'm not sure what else could cause ulcers but I doubt its the aspirins if they are looking at last 6 months.....what else could it be? I'm grateful I'm not on Humira starter kit....he told me to throw it out. Any thoughts on that?
Appreciate any feedback. Thanks all.
