i am carianne, 13 years old. About 6 or 7 months ago, i started having bloody stools, severe cramps, joint pain, back pain, and much more. it went away for a couple of months, so i ignored it. Then, it came back, worse. i went to visit a gastroentorologist, he did an endoscopy, and a colonoscopy. It showed i had ulceration my colon, except for the beginning and the rectum. Well, he sent me home on 60 mg of prednisone, 3 days later i was only worse. So i was admitted into the hospital for a month, were i had an Upper GI series, and a sigmoidoscopy, showing that the two parts of my colon that weren't inflamed, now were. i ended up getting two doses of Remicade, didn;t work. I had to get a total Colectomy. i was told after this i would feel better, but i didn't feel much better. I ended up having a very deep ulcer in my rectum, which caused pain and bleeding.
So, i had anouther dose of Remicade, it seems to be working.
But i have been having Diahrrea from my Ileostomy, stomach pain, head aches, slight fever, joint pain and weakness.
Could it be Crohn's instead of Coltis?
there is a very strong history of Crohn's, and my aunt has UC.
