I Wish This Was Someone Else

After being diagnosed with Crohn's Disease and having two resections in the past (1985 & 2000), it was only a matter of time when the disease would give me issues again. After getting a new doctor at the beginning of the year due to a change in insurance, in September, I decided it was time for me to get myself checked out. Feeling bad, I activated the referral I got from Dr. Misty to see a GI specialist.

He had me do this huge blood panel, a CAT scan and a colonoscopy and after last Friday, the GI doctor now believes that I actually have what I said I have had all along and taadaa - all that pain is because now I've got an ulcer. An ulcer! I didn't know people with Crohn's Disease could get ulcers. You know what? I remember that my dad had a ulcers at one time. Now I'm wondering if he had Crohn's Disease and was never really treated for it.
