This blog is mainly for me but hopefully someone who is also suffering from Crohn’s comes across this and finds it helpful.

Read all about my experience using my new medication!

So far I have only recapped the worst part about my Crohn’s on here. My journey with Crohn’s has not been all bad though, I would consider myself pretty healthy at this point in my life. 

My surgery was booked for January 5th. I stayed at the hospital for a few days after I was told about the procedure to get more blood work done and to get more comfortable with my NG tube. I did not insert the tube once, I was told that I had to learn how to do it myself because it was my only source of nutrition for a month and worse case scenario, if I was every alone, I would have to insert it myself. 

After I was diagnosed, I was prescribed medication that was supposed to help with the inflammation occurring in my intestine. Later on we figured out that the inflammation was irreversible. A month or so after my final diagnosis, I was having serious pains in my stomach. I could not eat because I had no appetite and I would cry at night because it hurt too much to sleep.
