Hi,
im a 20 year old mother of one, and i found out i have chrone's at 12.
i know i had it for at least a year before it was confirmed.

the confirmation is the only time i ever had seen a doctor for it, i went to emergency a few times but i mainly tough it out because i know they cant help. one time at emergency they left me in a bed for 14 hours just to tell me i was dehydrated..ya, from being there for 14 hours!!
anywhoo,
i am getting worse and worse symptons now,im constantly sore and in the bathroom in the morning and i cant eat untill almost suppertime, and im reading alot about it, i am just wondering if i should get checked out, or if because people can go years in remission, if this is normal and should just concentrate on my wedding?
all thoughts are appreiciated.

I think u should get this checked out. You need to go see a gi doctor. They will get u the right medicine for your condition so u can live a normal life. It took 3 yrs to diagnose my chron's disease Stressful situations seems to make my chron's flare up (weddings etc.). Hope this was some help.

Yes definitely get yourself set up with a Gastrointestinal specialist who can properly treat your Crohn's Disease. Even though Crohn's is not considered a fatal disease, there are serious complications that can arise that can, themselves, be fatal. I have been through this personally, and Ort is right, stressfull situations like planning a wedding can definitely set off symptoms. Make sure you are careful about the things you eat as well. Pay attention to what foods/drinks/medications cause you difficulties and limit or avoid them. Diet is personal for each patient and what will be true for one will not necessarily be true for someone else so you have to figure that out on your own. It also depends on where in your digestive tract your Crohn's is active. I know that planning a wedding can be all-consuming so it's especially important to remember to take care of yourself as well. Be sure to take time to relax whenever you can. Have a wonderful wedding!
