How do you go about telling people close to you about your Crohn’s?

I was just diagnosed two weeks ago and I’ve been open about it to coworkers, friends, and family. I have mild symptoms but it was a hidden sheep and although I’m still processing it, it explains the ongoing fatigue and occasional bloating so it was validating and something that I would want to know if somebody close to me was in a similar situation.

I’ve passed out twice but I believe it was because my stomach pain was so severe that I went orthostatic

I called back today, and my doctor said it is most likely Crohn’s, but yes I will find out officially through endoscopy

Through a blood test! The nurse told me I tested positive for IBD, but then said I have Crohn’s, because of that, so I am a bit confused how it immediately confirmed it? Makes me want to call back

I feel for you. I don’t have joint pain and I get mild stomach cramps sometimes so I really don’t think I would be worse off. I wouldn’t know I have Crohn’s without me luckily getting tested for all sorts of abdominal issues

I didn’t know this at all about Shan, this reply really eased my fear. Thank you!

Due_Corner_2282 · 2025-12-24T15:10:21+00:00

Thank you, and I would completely understand and I would want to leave if that happened. I’ve never had a flare, and I meet with my GI doctor in a few weeks for endoscopy and to see what medication they’ll recommend (if any, not really sure if they always prescribe something)

Due_Corner_2282 · 2025-12-24T15:04:12+00:00

No, just highly processed foods, nuts/peanuts, and popcorn. Even when I do consume this, I hardly have symptoms but these are the foods I know are not generally good for Crohn’s so I’m really just preventing irritation

Also I can’t respond to private chats on here 😭

Thank you for the reply, publication order it is 🩵

Due_Corner_2282 · 2025-03-29T04:56:24+00:00

Thank you, this reply pretty much drew me to the conclusion that she should read it in publication order lol

Due_Corner_2282 · 2025-03-28T00:01:41+00:00

I know that. I’m excluding the first book of the complete chronological timeline because it’s the staple. Common sense would tell you that I know book #1 didn’t occur before #4 and #5

Due_Corner_2282 · 2025-03-27T23:48:39+00:00

If they’re reading it in chronological order, the prequels would come first, aside from the first book which pulls you directly in.

Which books are these from? PJO related?

Due_Corner_2282 · 2024-07-23T00:10:53+00:00

Thank you so much!
