Im 21 years old and about 4 months ago i was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) this is chronic.
I spent over 2 weeks in hospital and a further 3 weeks at home sick. There was no warning and i suffered no symptoms. Since i have had this i have had nothing but problems i take over 8 tablets a day which i have 2 for the rest of my life, i suffer with stomache pains on a regular basis which has made it harder 4 me at work, i no longer sleep properly, i can no longer eat or drink everything. My life consists of weekly trips 2 my doctor. I also have 2 go for tests e.g. a camera being put inside me every 6 months, blood tests ect. Ive never met anyone who suffers from this and i would very like 2 understand how i got this and will my life ever go back 2 normal. My biggest fear is cancer i know the risks are there and i try not 2 let it worry me but my visit 2 the doctors today shows my health is not looking good.
Please honest and helpfull answer
