Mum has Crohns...
Three weeks ago my contact lenses started to irritate the hell out of me while I was on antibiotics for something else.
Then I got diarrhoea 8 days ago...
I saw a doctor, she thinks antibiotics are the cause, am waiting on a stool sample result.
However, today I saw an optician and I've got 'allergic conjunctivitis' potentially caused by hayfever/dust/lenses, but it's also a known side effect of having Crohn's disease.
I'm going to arrange to see a doctor this week and demand further investigation.
I just don't want a permanent stoma like my mum, I'm uncomfortable enough about my body as it is.
I'm determined to stay strong, have resigned myself to having this illness now. Just hoping that giving up smoking, and staying strong I can still make the most out of my life and hopefully delay the onset of any serious issues. Stay with me guys, I think I'm going to need you lot in these coming weeks...
