Why wear a ribbon?

MDJunction to me

"All I can say is that this has been the best place ever. It has been six to seven months since I joined, and I have learned so much. I now believe in myself and accept myself on a completely different level. The people on MDJunction has been so supportive and accepting that I have been able to adopt it into my personal life. That has reduced a lot of stress in my life. Thanks to all." (bunnyfly)

Alright, now I wonder if i have something else. I have no diahhrea problem. Instead I have constant constipation and nausea issues. I have the mouth sores and rectal bleeding. In past I have had gastricinfections that couldn't be cultured and only cleared up with leviquin. Plus when that happen various organs get inflamed like my kidney swelled up 3 times it size in then it was my appendix 3 weeks ago and the pathology came back as crohns. I am so confused.

It really does sound like classical symptoms of Crohn's Disease. Generally there is an extreme of either diarrhea or constipation very minimal instances of a happy medium. Seems typical organs are becoming inflamed, from what you have described. It is very common for the kidney, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, appendices to become inflamed or compromised at sometime. Whenever you hear your doctor mention anything followed byt this key letters -itis it is all about inflammation. I hope this helpful for ya. Any questions just give a yell.
