Hello,
I am new to this forum. I have just been diagnosed about 2 weeks ago with Crohns. I have been suffering for many years but no one seemed to listen and as I move about a lot due to my husbands job it was hard to get a referral in time. I moved to Gloucester in March this year and have found a very good doctor. He got me in with a consultant with 2 days of seeing him as I was having a flare up. Within 2 weeks I had a colonoscopy with came back with Crohns. I am now on Pentasa, 4 twice a day. The consultant is going to review this to make sure it is the right medication for me. I have also got to go for a barium meal xray so that they can see my small bowel.
I am just glad I have finally got an answer for all my pain.
I am glad I have found this site.
Diane
