Ive been neglecting you and Im sorry. Ive just been busy. Its not you, its me. I swear.
So alot has been going on! Have my tattoo booked for the 18th of Feb and my Gastroentorologist appointment on the 20th. So that will be a big week.
The gastroentorolist scares me. She will book me for my endoscopy, then I will finally know whats wrong. Words like cancer and disease have been thrown around, due to family history but I have high hopes it wont be that bad. Everyones money is on Crohns disease at the moment
“While the exact cause of Crohn’s disease is unknown, the condition is linked to a problem with the body’s immune system response.
Normally, the immune system helps protect the body, but with Crohn’s disease the immune system can’t tell the difference between normal body tissue and foreign substances. The result is an overactive immune response that leads to chronic inflammation. This is called an autoimmune disorder.
People with Crohn’s disease have ongoing (chronic) inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Crohn’s disease may occur in any area of the digestive tract. There can be healthy patches of tissue between diseased areas. The inflammation causes the intestinal wall to become thick.”
That sounds like a bundle of fun dont it. They will put me on a selective diet of steamed chicken and lettuce. They told me to expect quite substantial weight loss.
Ive had this problem since I was 16. It had been coming and going and the past few months it has come back alot worse. Im done with sickness taking things away from me.
