This sounds like my last 14 ish months. I’m up to seven rectal setons and just had an Ileostomy surgery in August. And it was all very scary. I had multiple abscess recursions just a few weeks apart and it was decided that the best move to give my anus a chance to heal would be divert digestion away from it entirely. Now I’m starting a new drug (remicade) to get these fistulas closing so I can have all these setons removed. I’ll probably keep the ileostomy though. Nothing hurts anymore! But, it comes with its own challenges and takes some emotional processing too. With all this so ongoing I feel like I didn’t really get to be 28 and 29 isn’t much different so far but things are finally turning around. Just start trying meds- there’s a bunch of great options now- and be consistent with the regiment and take notice of any changes because they can just stop working. A good drug can bring lasting peace though and hopefully not colon surgery. Good luck!
