So I wanted to share more of my personal experiences with you guys. This one is not about bullying or my social problem. Its about what happen to me that change my life forever. It can be a little graphic so GRAPHIC WARNING
Once again, I wanna hear your opinions and if you suffer something similar or different.
---------------------------------------------------
So back in 2012, I was soon to finish 10th grade. But everytime I use the bathroom, I will have this sharp pain. Really sharp pain. Eventually I will start bleeding inside the tootie. So when I first got it checked out it was hemorrhoids. Basically it these little moles that hurt as hell when you use the bathroom. Then, around fall of 2012, when school started, I started to have extreme stomach pains. Not your normal pains. It was like on a pattern. It happened in the morning, during school multiple times and afte school. Went to doctors multiple times about it but they just said it was a stomach virus. But I know they were wrong because one day while leaving school, I puked all over the ground. My step-dad had to pick me up. The next day I had to go to the hospital. After doing multiple tests and IV's, the nurse told my family that they will direct us to a gastrologist, a medical doctor who specializes in the study of the stomach. So during that time, I missed school. A week later I met my gas. doc. Lets name him Dr. I. Dr. I told my family and I that I may have acquired a disease but he is not completely sure. He said I will have to go to the hospital and stay for nearly a week. He wanted to perform a test that was called a colonoscopy where they stick a camera down your throat to see your stomach area. That Sunday, I went to the hospital. I was scared cause this was the first time I ever been to the hospital to stay overnight. Monday was the day I had to prepare for the procedure. That Tuesday we performed the procedure(colonoscopy). Later that day when I woke up (they put you to sleep during the colonoscopy), the news struck. "Gianni(my rl name) I regret to inform you, but you have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease". I was in tears. Everyone in my family was crying. Even some of my friends from Era called and was crying to hear the horrible news. So I had to stay in the hospital until Friday. When I came back home, I was not allowed to go back to school till a month later. When I did go back, my friends felt really bad for me to go through what I did. But did you know some people said I deserved the disease? How can one human say that to another? Truly sick.
But what is Crohn's disease? Well its a stomach disease that inflames the upper and lower intestine. If it flares up(triggers), I have extreme stomach pain, lack of appetite from eating, weakening of body, fever, blood in stool and more. What sucks more? Crohn's
is a life long disease with no cure! Really sucks.
But I been living with it for 2 years so far. It made me miss so many days from school and made me drop in my GPA but you know..We gotta be strong. And stay positive. I only told you guys my disease cause my mother always told me to share my experiences because I will never know who can have the same experience unless I speak. Crohn's changed my life and it sucks cause with Crohn's..you have an increased risk of cancer. But as I said, I gotta stay positive and strong.
Thanks for reading my long personal issue I had for 2 years and counting. If you want, share your experiences. Maybe I'm not the only one on these forums with Crohn's but once again, thanks for reading.
