Been a very long time since I've been to these forums but I figured getting advice from people actually dealing with this nightmare of a disease wouldn't hurt. Couple of months ago I got diagnosed with Crohn's after years of being told I have UC and after I've had all three surgeries leading up to a jpouch. Since then my quality of life has been hell. I've been in and out of the hospital, watery and I mean watery stool, immense stomach pain etc etc. I've been quite unresponsive to about every medicine. Remicade and Humira have both put me into anaphalactic shock. I'm currently taking 6mp ( about a month in now ) but, I've had no noticeable improvement thus far. I'm honestly trying to find someone else that has Crohns / a jpouch that can help me before I lose my mind. I've had to leave school / work and I'm a young guy ( 23 ) and my quality of life is poor at best. I'm also curious if anyone here has pursued disability, I hate the idea of it but, I can't keep relying on others, makes me feel worthless.
