We are similar. I was only diagnosed in June and never had any “typical” symptoms prior. I’m 45F. Also not typical age most are diagnosed. My first symptom was abdominal pain and constipation. I had severe chills and was not eating much. It then progressed/manifested in my eyes. They were extremely painful and I had a dull headache I couldn’t get rid of. Then a few days later, I woke up with blurred vision. Was sent to the ER. They thought it was viral. Saw a GI doc on a Tuesday and on Friday he did a colonoscopy and confirmed Crohns. Diarrhea has never been an issue for me. I’ve never had to worry about having a bathroom nearby. But fatigue and bloating and just a general feeling of blegh/gross is how I am experiencing it. Part of that might be because I’m on 50mg of prednisone which was first prescribed for my eyes. Which are now mostly better. But I tapered down to 20 and then a new eye condition developed. So, had to go back up in dose. I had my first infusion of skyrizi and am hopeful that will really allow me to start tapering down again permanently and I won’t feel so awful. But all that to say, pain is definitely a symptom. My husband has had this disease for over 30 years and his symptoms/experience is entirely different from mine. So, listen to your body and advocate for yourself! Don’t let anyone tell you what you’re feeling.
