For someone who is seeking advice in terms of a diagnosis, I think it’s important to point out the variety of experiences people on this forum have.

Don’t let comments like this scare you. After being diagnosed in January and getting on a biologic while in hospital, my quality of life has improved immensely. It took close to a year, but now I am living a pretty normal life - I work, go to the gym, see my friends, and eat what I want.

Try and remember that people who aren’t feeling symptomatic probably won’t be cruising a Crohn’s subreddit as often as those who are feeling shitty will be. I didn’t make this connection when I was diagnosed and this sampling bias led me to think I was doomed.

This isn’t meant to invalidate anyone’s experience, but it is meant to show that there is a large spectrum in how this disease impacts all of us.

I hope you get relief soon.
