That's awful, and I feel so badly he had to suffer for that long - and that it sounds like he's still suffering. :(((Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07308241383086494167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056777605109108397.post-4925466326379657652013-02-01T11:53:32.624-05:002013-02-01T11:53:32.624-05:00Yes, good idea to wait for the tests!

I'm trying to describe symptoms without being too graphic but always has the runs and they found blood for years. He can't keep weight on he's 5'11" and weights about 160. But again I agree to wait for all tests to come back! I am loving reading your blog! :)<br />KristiKristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13142694706893565452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056777605109108397.post-4631065765285956822013-02-01T09:24:17.910-05:002013-02-01T09:24:17.910-05:00Thanks Jill!

I am not a religious person but I definitely consider myself a spiritual person and I pray everyday for your physical and mental health. Have faith that you will figure this out!

I don't think I have Crohn's ...Hi Kristi!! I don't think I have Crohn's because my issue *seems* to be limited to my colon. My pain is very low, and even though I'm not eating much, I seem to be getting nutrients. A good friend's husband has Crohn's so I have a fair amount of familiarity with it through them. She said that when he first got it, he literally turned gray because his body wasn't able to absorb any nutrients at all. He's had it for almost ten years and it hasn't once gone into remission. :( My GP mentioned colitis as a possibility, but the specialist's office doesn't want to make any speculations until they get the results of the various tests.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07308241383086494167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056777605109108397.post-25638163035834672892013-01-31T21:59:49.594-05:002013-01-31T21:59:49.594-05:00Oh Teresa, I am just so sorry this is happening. ...Oh Teresa, I am just so sorry this is happening.
