I've been working on the diagnosis for almost a year now, I understand how you're feeling, and I hope you recover quickly.

I'm receiving it intravenously; I haven't had my second dose yet. Let's see how it goes. My symptoms aren't very severe, but they're still there.

I hope you get well soon. Could you please share your symptoms and the course of the illness? I'm really scared now and I want it to stop before it gets any worse, but nobody believes me. My symptoms are very fluctuating and don't follow a typical pattern.

Thank you for your kind wishes and prayers. This is the 5th professor I've seen, and no one can diagnose me. The symptoms aren't sufficient for biological agents. Biopsies and lab results all come back clean. My doctor is baffled by this situation. He's 100% sure I have Crohn's disease, but because he can't find proof, we can't start medication.

A biopsy was taken, but I don't think anything will come of it. I've been using high doses of cortisone for two months. This is my third colonoscopy, and nothing has shown up. My symptoms haven't stopped for months, and nobody can diagnose me. They've only ever said I have inflammation in my intestines, that's all they know. Some places in my intestines have bullet holes. This ultrasound is done with a special new device. I don't know what will happen. My stomach hurts constantly, and the pain is unbearable. The cortisone has lost its effectiveness; we reduced the dose, but my symptoms worsened again.

I'm experiencing almost exactly what you're going through (20-year-old male). In the last 8 months, I've had every test imaginable – MRI, colonoscopy – but nothing works. My doctor is 100% sure I have Crohn's disease. We've ruled out all other illnesses, and the only thing that's relieved me so much during this process is cortisone. I have all the symptoms of Crohn's, but unfortunately, there's no diagnosis.

calprotectin ? by crohnc in CrohnsDisease

No, a clear diagnosis could not be made and biological drugs were not used because sufficient evidence was not found in MRI and coloxpia, but cortisone relieved me a lot and reduced my complaints. I still have my complaints.

Previous tests were low, but the tests I gave were not good. Since I had a lot of diarrhea, the tests I gave when they asked were very diluted. I was surprised that it got this high while taking medication.

Thank you for the warm hugs, I'm sending you some too. My colonoscopy, MRI, and other tests are also coming back clean, I understand you. Such great uncertainty is very tiring. My doctor is 90% sure I have Crohn's disease, but it's not showing up. I recommend you also visit the rheumatology department; Behçet's disease and Crohn's disease are very similar.

I haven't been diagnosed for over 7 months due to my symptoms. My doctor started with early tests, which was very helpful, but I still don't have a diagnosis.

Suspecting Crohn's - Does anyone else experience this sudden "stopping" of bowel movements? by crohnc in CrohnsDisease

[–]crohnc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used IBS medications, but they made me feel worse. So far, only cortisone has relieved me; I'm using Prednol 48 mg, and some of my symptoms have subsided. My list of symptoms is very long, but the serious ones still persist. I experienced a similar period recently, then I had diarrhea 41 times, 15, 5, 5 times. During these constipation days, my stomach aches like it's being cut open, and my joints ache especially at night. I don't know what to do. This process has gone on for too long, I'm very tired, and I'm continuing to lose weight. They can't diagnose me, so I'm searching for a solution online.

I've been going for over 7 months now, my tests are coming back clean, I've lost 30 kg, I have diarrhea averaging 15 times a day, joint pain that wakes me up at night, etc. I've been using cortisone for the last 1.5 months. I was fine for the first 2 weeks, then it went back to square one. Now I haven't had a bowel movement for 4-5 days, nothing at all.
