Awaiting diagnosis

I have sort of stumbled upon the possibility that I have Crohn's. I began seeing a Dr. Due to back pain. I've had an MRI, CT scan of abdomen, ultra scound of abdomen, HIDA scan of gallbladder. I'm seeing a veriety of Drs. So far what I know is that I have thickening of my uterus, possible adenomyosis. GYN appt 10/4. I have gallstones and/or polyps on my gallbladder. My family Dr sent me to GI due to these issues and due to a family history of Crohn's (maternal aunt) and bile duct cancer (mother). I will have a colonoscopy and endoscopy on 10/5. I began reading info about Crohn's and found that I have some symptoms including erythema nodosum (17 years) and episcleritis(3 years). I need suggestions for what to ask as well as what to tell the GI.

Hi Jen and welcome :)

I'm sorry you're struggling with health problems, that's terrible :(

Frankly, everything you just told us is what you need to tell the GI. That you're already scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy is a good sign and that should provide a lot of answers once the results come back.

Do you have any intestinal issues?

Yeah, I'm glad you're getting those tests. I'm so sorry you're having to go through this :(

Please keep us updated as to how you're doing and what they find!
