    That’s a story and a half

    In early 2020, after 5 years and 3 separate doctors I figured out why my belly hurt all the time. It was crohn’s disease. But hey, good news, I could start treatment!

    The first treatment we attempted, because we had to, was Azathioprine. It is provided freely by our government’s free healthcare service, and it works for a lot of people.

    Well it did put the crohn’s into remission. After a month I took my first normal shit in eeeeh nine years?

    Small problem, it was too toxic for my body and my pancreas rioted.

    Anyway we started with Entyvio after I got over the pancreatitis, it is not provided by the government but my parents’ health insurance covers it and we found a way.

      First normal shit in 9 years? That’s crazy. You wouldn’t even remember what normal was after that long. Must’ve been quite a relief.

        I almost took a photo of it in my phone to tell my friends about my great achievment.

        TMI-ish, nasty

        C.D. shits are insane by the way. When talking to normal people I call it ‘diarrhea’, but really it’s more like vomiting out of your arse.
