Started loosing lots of weight, becoming weak, tired, and anemic, and so on, spending 4 weeks around easter in bed. Had to call it quits on my second year of uni a month before I should have finished to come home for the tests to confirm Crohn's, as I needed my family around me.
Things got slightly better for while, as I was medicated up, but I was still weak and tired all summer. Never went anywhere or saw anyone. Then things went tits up after ending my steroids. Got admitted to hospital in October, which after two weeks had got me stronger, but hadn't tackled the roots of my Crohn's. Went home, and deteriorated fairly quickly. Got readmitted two weeks later with a high pulse, no appetite, and at my lowest ever weight. I knew I was bloody ill, but I found out last week the docs thought I could have died.
Tomorrow will mark week 6 of being in hospital for me. 6 weeks of fear, medication, bad news, and complications. Last week they finally sorted two outstanding issues, one of which was an abscess in my stomach, which had been giving me a high pulse, weak blood pressure, and high temps for weeks. Worst thing is there is no end in sight, with more operations on the way. Least I'll get some time at home on Christmas.....
So yeah, read up on the symptoms of Crohn's, and if you have/get them, go the docs ASAP, as it has completely shafted everything in my life. Next year I'm going to spend battling this, before I can even start to rebuild my life

Probably closer to what it costs for a month's worth than a year, tbh.
