hi :) my name is michelle i am 32 and have 2 children, 13yr old and 11yr old.
i have been suffering with a problem with my bowel for over 2yrs now, i need the loo all the time and have had a couple of accidents in the past, as a result i developed agrophobia, anxiety and panic attacks. I am taking SERTRALINE 100mg and DIAZEPAM which is i think helping a bit with the dark days where i feel i am letting everyone down especially my kids. I have had to miss parent meetings face to face and other things my kids want me to do. I think that is the worse thing about all of this. I have had loads of tests for my bowel and have always thought it was IBS but i had a results of my last test (a camera pill) yesturday and they have found loads of ulcers on my bowel and have been diagnosed with crohn's disease i have been prescribed BUDENOFALK which i have never heard of.
With my agrophobia, anxiety and panic attacks i am seeing a psychiatrist weekly ( she was the one who told me about this site) and i am doing exposure therapy where i have to go out everyday for a hour and write/rate how i feel and i think it is starting work very slowly i can walk a short distance with my kids to the supermarket where i know there is a toilet. anyway thats me at the moment and i would be very grateful for any advice or comments about my situation or medication. thankyou:unsure:
