Hi. I'm new here. I've had an array of irritating symptoms over the past 2 years, I'm an RN and based on test results so far, its looking like Crohns. I've lost 40+ pounds without trying over the past 1.5 years, it hurts to eat and I feel full and bloated whenever I do, I have days where I have HORRENDOUS gas. I have days where I will have 5-6 bowel movements followed by a few days with none. I am very fatigued and have been having night sweats. My WBC is consistently elevated, my iron stores were low (now taking iron supplement) and an abdominal CT showed thickening of the proximal small bowel. I'm in between jobs and won't have insurance until June 1 when I plan to see a GI doc for diagnosis. It all seems to be getting worse and worse and I'm really getting depressed and angry. I also have MS with hardly any symptoms. I just need people to talk to who understand!!
