Reality Check for potentially newly Diagnosed
Hi everyone, I’ve been reading a lot on this subreddit about chrons and just want to share my story and see if anyone can relate or give insight to where I’m at with this disease. 4 years ago noticed some blood in stool and PCP said he noticed what might be a fissure or fistula but never did much to try to resolve it, when 4 years with no other symptoms besides the occasional blood on toilet paper but that was about it. Had BW 2-3x a day sometimes 4-5 if I ate something heavy in lactose. Then within the last 8 months had 2 abcess show up out of no where and due to pain got 2 seton placed to drain. Had a colonoscopy and found inflammation in the ileum and rectum. My doctor took biopsies and did say it might be chrons. Just wondering if anyone can give advice on this part of the cycle assuming I do have it and what my next steps should be.
