Hey all,
I am a 34 wife and mother to three (ages 12, 2 and 9 months). I came down sick with flu-like asymptoms Sept. 17, 07 and 3 days later ended up in hospital for the campto bacteria diarrhea second day in hospital. I was then released on Cipro. Days later ended up bleeding from bowels with diarrhea and thought infection was back- ended back up in hospital and sent back home another round of Cipro in which I took them all that time. Days later again same thing...ended up back in hospital and had colonoscopy. So far preliminary results are that it is colitus. I will know next Thursday if it is actually Colitus or Chrohns. I guess stress (my baby was getting ready to have bladder surgery, argueing with hubby, school, life in general threw me in the loop. I feel really depressed since I have been going through this or weeks...it has taken a toll on my marriage because my hubby works hard and then comes home to be with the kids and do lots of stuff. I feel like a huge failure because of all of this. When we got together in 2003 I had a disc rupture in my back a few months later at age 30 and that still hurts to this day--like right now. I have alot of muscular pain right now and a burning sensation in areas of my body. I am looking for a great board of people to come and talk with!! Thanks you all if you have got this far:)
Terri
