I am 32 and in the process of being diagnosed; I have two friends who have recently been diagnosed with UC and Chron’s which is what has lead me to research this disease. I have been experiencing abdominal pain for 5 months now. The pain briefly subsided in December; but quickly came back. I had a barium CT scan which found absolutely nothing. My doctor has referred me to a GI doctor who has scheduled an endoscopy procedure on Wednesday and a colonoscopy in two weeks. I am not experiencing any bleeding or diarrhea; just abdominal pain that seems to occur in different places. The pain is bearable most of the time, but I am worried about living with it long term.
Plain and simple, I’m scared. I’m scared to find out it may be Chron’s disease and I’m scared that it might be something worse. I’ve tried to ignore it hoping my body will heal, but it has not.
