My doctor called me at work yesterday and said she wanted to talk to me and give me an Rx, so i leave work and go and see her........she got the results from my CT scan from the end of August....well even though i was expecting to hear what i heard it was still a shock to me......to say the least i was abit stunned.......imagine that......i suspected all along what was wrong but was still shocked to hear it......officialy diagnosed with crohns of the terminal illium...its distended and elongated, thickened and showing signs of inflammation...... so i have been put on asacol 400mg tablet 3x a day and to increase it if i am flaring to 2 tablets 3x a day if i feel i need it.........now that i face the realization that yea i do have crohns it actually scares me.......i don't know why but it does...and i have all these well meaning people at work that are letting me know that i should not worry that i can live a normal life, yes i know i can live a normal life, but i also realize the complications that i could face in the future, even though my case is mild it can and most likely will get worse....hopefully later then sooner........but at the moment it is hard to think positive, even though its good to know that its not all in my head.......and i have treatment posibilities.....
It would be great to hear from those with crohns of the TI and let me know how things are going with you and what i should expect.......good and bad, i would like to be prepared for any eventuality......now that i am accepting this diagnoses and moving on with life.....i would like to know what i may or may not have to handle in the future, and so that i can help my dear bf in understand what i may have to go through and what he is also going to be going through with me.........he was so wonderful when i told him what the doc said.......i got a big hug and a kiss, with an i love you forever..sigh.....i think i found a good one
.......anyway thanks for reading this......Deb...
