My story...
2 years ago in March, I started having stomach pains while at my friends rehearsal dinner for his wedding that I was to be the best man for. I kept ignoring it, then couldn't take it anymore. I went to the ER just to make sure nothing was terribly wrong. They did some tests, I told them there was no way I was staying overnight because of my friends wedding. They told me everything looked good, just drink clear liquids. I drank clear liquids until the reception lol.
I didn't have another problem until one whole year later in April. I was working a 48 hour shift at the firehouse, and it hit me so hard! I was dehydrated, dizzy, and vomiting every 30 minutes. Did 5 days in the hospital with only fluids (it's terrible). Went back for colonoscopy, they determined I had Crohn's. I complied with my medication for about a month or 2, had no pain, so stopped taking them. Didn't have any problems for another full year in May of this year.
Same thing again... Lots of pain and constipation. I am now on Prednisone and Pentasa. Just started 6mp or mp6, whatever it's called.
Unfortunately my Dr tapered down my Prednisone to 5mg, same time I started mp6, so I am having some discomfort as I start this new medicine... I really hope mp6 pulls through and starts working ASAP!
