Hi, so in October of last year i began to feel strong pain in my stomach and despite many visits to my GP they dismissed it. until a couple of weeks later when they thought i had appendicitis. after going to hospital i was told i would need surgery and was givena high dose of antibiotics and long story short the hospital didnt do anything after deciding i no longer needed surgery and instead a scan. i waited 4 days in hospital nil by mouth for my scan until i decided to go private. when i went private the doctors diagnosed me with crohns and said i needed to have surgery to remove a 16cm stricture. i had been off school for 4 weeks now and beng 17 i had an exam in january but decided to delay the surgery and go for the exam. i didnt do to well in the exam and shortly after the exam i had surgery. i went back to school 4 weeks after the surgery but shortly after returning i had a relapse and was out of school for another 4 weeks. anyway i just wanted some opinions cause i have exams coming up soon and im not confident having missed 50% of the year and missing 50% of teaching. ive had to teach myself it this year and at a level its pretty difficult. the school at the start were quite helpful however now they've been kinda harsh saying that they probably wont let me back next year because of my lack of commitment but its hard to be committed when your constantly taking drugs and focusing on getting better.
