Hello.
Two weeks ago results of a CT scan came back showing something in my ileum which possibly indicates IBD. In about a week I go in for an oscopy for more details.
Hours of googling have me thinking it is most likely Crohn's, but at this point I'm just hoping to find out something sooner rather than later.
My big concern is I don't feel like myself anymore. I'm irritable, depressed and impatient. Stressors which used to slide right off me, are really getting to me, leading to a downward spiral, in which I feel physically worse and am less resilient to stress.
I hate to complain. I've taken Facebook off of my mobile devices, because I don't want to whine and elicit pity. Even on this forum, I'm sure most folks have gone through worse.
But I am physically exhausted by the intestinal and lower back pain, and emotionally drained that I find I can't be the husband, father and worker I'd like to think of myself as being.
Phew... Whining done.
Anyway, I hope to learn a lot on this forum.
