Crohn's sucks

Yes it certainly does. But worse sometimes, is being sick for years, knowing something is very wrong, but not knowing what it is.
That was me. I knew, my Drs knew, we all knew. But what was it?

In my twenties it was vague, came & went. Abdominal pain, fatigue, and joint pain.

Then in the 90's when I was in my 30's, the nite sweats started, and more gut pain. And now it's bad.
When i finally got my diagnoses, I looked for crohns blogs, and many were no longer updated, years old. Others were more on UC, which is similar. But mine is not in the colon, which is why it was hard to find - it is above the ileum. Real hard to see - until I had a CT Enterography. there it was.

So I'm writing, so if others are looking, we can connect - share our crap. ;-)
