Hopefully my chrons journey helps you
Diagnosed around the age of 15, peak hs years. Girls varsity basketball, starting to drive and every other positive hs experience you can imagine lol. Fistula, abscess and stomach pains led me to get diagnosed around 2012. In and out of hospitals for flares until I started Remicade late 2012. It worked wonders lol was in remission for a good 10+ years. Left my job of 7 years for another and had a point in time i had no medical coverage in 2024. Everything immediately went down hill. Long story short, bowel was strictured and inflamed and i was having pretty bad symptoms and flares. Fast forward to March 2026 i elected to have a resection done, that was performed July 9 2026. Since then I have felt amazing. Like I’ve been cured (although thats impossible). I am now on Tremfya and finally gaining some weight. I can tend to my 8month old son with no issues, eat what i want. Life has been great this last month. Hopefully it gets better for you too 🙏🏽
