I was diagnosed two years ago, but reading up on the symptoms, I probably had this a lot longer.
Symptoms for me, when a flare-up is mucus and blood in my stool, and my stool is very very loose. Not (always) D. Also, I'll get a massive painful urge, but then when I go, my evacuation is not more than a pebble.
Had a Colonoscopy two years ago, and Dr. told me I have Crohns Colitis. I have read up on Crohns, but have not found (much?) on Crohns Colitis. Does anyone else have this diagnosis?
I'm on Lialda, anywhere from 1 to 4 tablets a day (Dr. said I could go down in dose when I was feeling better).
Currently in massive flareup, and just found out that my Dr. doesn't take my new insurance. So, I have to find someone new.
A new symptom this time around is a pain on my left side, right below the rib cage. When i'm walking around/sitting around it doesn't bother me. When I lay down (especially on my left side, but also on my back /right side), the pain is unbearable, and wakes me up. As a result, I have been getting no more than 4 hours of sleep a night. And poor sleep at that.
