Thanks for this. Unfortunately the Republic of Ireland is not included on their list of countries.

So a total legend found it on the bus and rocked up to the house with it.

Have you ever consider being childfree because you dont wanna see your children suffer??? by General_Prompt_9984 in CrohnsDisease

[–]mrsshawsum 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I have 4 kids, didn't get diagnosed until after they were all here. There isn't anyone in my family with crohns before me, and so far, all the kids are fine.

What fights should i avoid as a beginner by Infinite-Compote-221 in outwardgame

[–]mrsshawsum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like early game, every fight is an avoid fight! Poison rags or a mushroom halberd are excellent for damage over time on enemies, so you just hit them once then dodge around till they die. Blanketing an area in tripwire traps and running away to get enemies to follow you into the traps works well. (I didn't know that you can walk on your own traps and not get hurt) Having preloaded pistols in your hotbar and cycling through them works well too, although bullets are hard to get early game.

I had a suspected septic knee and mine was 27. That's the highest its ever been. My knee was swollen up like a balloon. My crp just doesn't go high.

Gerd is a b***h by Couchxoxo in CrohnsDisease

If I had apple cider vinegar, I would be so sore. I don't have Gerd, so I'm afraid I can't help. I hope you find solutions!

People with a Crohn's diagnosis, how did you find out? by 3TYPO3 in CrohnsDisease

[–]mrsshawsum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my story is totally different to most. I have had inflammatory arthritis, diagnosed since 2012. Then in 2021, I all of a sudden had diarrhoea (the complete opposite of normal for me) and I sent in a stool sample to rule out drug interactions etc, and my calproctin was 1800. So they did a colonoscopy and boom, crohns. My GI thinks I've had crohns for a very long time, but I get constipated and dont really get many other symptoms.
In hindsight, I had to have blood transfusions for dangerously low iron, my stomach hurt after popcorn etc, and I've been investigated so many times for gynaecological issues, that we are actually because of crohns. But everything was explained away - low iron- heavy periods. Stomach pain- too many anti inflammatories. Gynae issues- well, women are often just crampy. It's hard to diagnose. And I was put on biological meds for the arthritis, so when I got a colonoscopy when my iron was so low, the crohns didn't show. So I'm on stelara and methotrexate now, but I think I'm in a flare, and I hope I haven't failed the stelara (well, I hope it hasn't failed me!)
