The nurse gave me three shots of something, the next thing I know it’s 4pm and I’m lying in my bed. The doctor is waiting for the biopsy results, but he’s almost certain that I have Crohn’s Disease - an inflammation of the intestines. There’s no cure (whoopee!) but following a careful diet can help reduce symptoms. I say if I gotta have a lifetime illness this is the one to have - low-fat, high fiber diet - I’ll be damn healthy that’s for sure.
I also have ulcer colitis something or other - basically I have 6 ulcers in my large intestines, I’m taking some medication for that. Well at least the big mystery is solved, it feels better knowing that it’s something and I’m not just stressing out over something.
