IBS and Chrons Disease

by Vanessa
(Gibraltar)


I’ve had IBS and Chrons Disease since I was 17. 26 this December, and my doctors and specialist are complete rubbish, I’ve been on medication since 17 and it hardly works. I don’t trust the surgery as it’s only a 50/50 chance and even then you can still have infections and more surgery.

When is there going to be a complete 100% cure for Chrons and IBS sufferers. I’ve got a tens machine and that only relieves for a short while and my medication, well, I’ve had enough of taking pentasa granules, steroids I have to take when I’m really bad.

I really need help with this, it even stops me from making hair appointments! And when I do go out and about when I’m feeling better there’s still a chance that I’ll get a shots of pain through my stomach as I’m walking. My specialist even said I can’t have the injections because my symptoms for chrons and IBS aren’t bad enough, they just don’t want to pay for the injections!

Can anyone help me???

Crohn's & IBS Pain
by: Siân@IBS-Life

Unfortunately, you are not alone. Crohn's Disease has to be treated in many different ways and I have known people suffer it for years. I was reading about it after seeing your post, and it seems extremely complex. They are continually researching, and I hope that in the future they will be able to cure it; as with IBS it seems that there is no cure-all for it at the moment.

Take care

Siân
