 New to Crohn's Disease
I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease about a year ago . I really do not have any severe symptoms so far, other than the once or twice a day bouts with food I ate seemingly going right through me. I do seem to always have a ferritin level that is 10, very low iron saturation levels and iron levels. I take iron pills, when I remember, that the dr. ordered and Pentasa 4 times a day. I am not big on pills so may take the Pentasa 2 x a day if I am lucky and remember. I have the ulceration in the small intestine which was detected by swallowing a pill with a camera in it. I have chronic sinusitis, which my ear, nose and throat dr. said in 90% of the patients he has seen with Crohn's disease have some sort of sinus problems. I have an underactive thyroid, type II diabetes also. My dr. told me all these illnesses are linked together with the Crohn's disease. I was also told at times I will have seepage from the anal area, which I have not had so far. I guess I do not take the Crohn's as serious as I should because I have not had any real symptoms from it other than being anemic. Can anyone enlighten me on this disease with experiences you may have had? Thanks and God Bless
