Crohnologist

I'm brazilian guy (sorry about my english), 31 years old. I have Crohn's disease and this is my chronology.

[Crohnologist @crohnologist]

I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in 2003, December. And now, i wanna help people with my experiences and exchange information about this. I really hope this is useful for someone.

@Angry_Guts Ah, the shots are very easy to take. No pain. I have a headache on the first week after the shot, but everything is under control. I go to the hospital to take it. A nurse does this for me.

@Angry_Guts Hi, Rachael! I've been using #Stelara for 5 months, 3 shots. At the beginning I felt better so fast, but now I feel the results are slow. I really believe it works for me. I have a thread on my twiiter about my last doc visit, if you wanna check it out :)

[Crohnologist @crohnologist]

I'm feeling good now and I really believe Stelara works for me. I'm so happy and confident. In Brazil, we say "I feel like I took off an elephant of my back". I hope I can get better each day and help people with what I've been through. CYA!

I'm gonna make a thread about the visit I did to my doctor yesterday. For anyone who wants to follow and share experiences. #crohnsdisease #crohn #ulcerativecolitis #colits #crohnslife #chronicillness

We put away any possibility of surgery because of the stricture. I'll do new exams for this, but the doctor doesn't think surgery is a good ideia for my case and he believes I will get my remission using Stelara.

[Crohnologist @crohnologist]

Wish me a good luck! ;)

I feel some discomfort in my belly and my heartbeats is faster than normal (130). I tried to use a medicine for this but I had several side effects and I decided to stop it and check with my doctor. Let's see what he'll say or maybe prescribe something new. We'll find out later.

[Crohnologist @crohnologist]

I'm going to see my doctor today. I couldn't sleep very well this night and I had to take medicine for that. Anxiety is a boring thing. #crohn #crohnsdisease #colits #ulcerativecolits #chronicilness

Hello! Good morning!

[Crohnologist @crohnologist]

I wish a health year and peace for all of us! #crohnsdisease #crohn #ulcerativecolitis #colits #crohnslife #chronicillness

I hope Stelara does its job. I've felt good in the last few months, but I still feel like I have a lot to improve on.

[Crohnologist @crohnologist]

Nowadays I use Stelara. I had the third dose on the away. I used several medications during my years with #Crohn's. I had a great results with Remicade, but I needed to change it because it stopped working.

[Crohnologist @crohnologist]

Not sure what to expect. The examination detected a stenosis in the colon and this worries me.
