Hi! (I’m 20, they found inflammation in my ileum when I was hospitalized for a virus in 2019 and I was properly diagnosed in 2020, I was Budesonide for awhile and then on Humira for a year and now I’m on my 3rd dose of Stelara) Does anyone else with mild crohn’s get frustrated when you go through what feels like a flare up, but then the test results almost always come back normal? I had a horrible flare where I was out of school for 3 weeks and I freaked out my doctors trying to get help - and they got me in to do an emergency CT scan, but then I felt like I was crazy or “faking it” because the results were pretty much completely fine. I felt so bad and guilty for wasting their time. :( My stool test was somewhat elevated (70 something) but that was it. This has happened several times and it’s really emotionally taxing. I rather my crohn’s actually cause me harm than to have to deal with this. I feel like I’m being gaslit by my body :’( … It always feels like my crohn’s “isn’t bad enough” because they never find inflammation, and I’ve never had surgery, even when I’m having horrible symptoms. Please tell me someone else has experienced this too???
