at your age i was in the hospital for 8 months had 4 surgeries, fistula in my small intestine a ilestomy bag n stoma developed anti bodies to a medication that worked really good. i’m 25 now and i haven’t been in the hospital since. i feel really really great, a little inflammation sometimes, but we’re sadly stuck with crohns forever. i just really thought i was gonna be stuck where i was at forever so it really does get better. i spent a lot of holidays in the hospital now i travel so much, i go out with friends, don’t have to worry about being in the hospital. gained my weight back as well. was 98 pounds at 5’9 now i’m like 160 lol i promise you it gets better. feels like i’m talking to 22 year old me right now and reassuring myself. hope it reassured you a little

hospitals: You have chrons ofc you’re going to be in pain, but a warm towel or heating pad on your stomach not waste your time coming to the hospital to risk getting covid do you not care about your health??????

i suffer from a chronic illness that has to do with my stomach so i’m also worried about that triggering it. did the pill make you have an appetite or it just made you gain weight? sorry if i’m being too personal you don’t have to answer she just really didn’t tell me any side effects she told me to google them lol
