I have severe Crohn's disease and I'm going through quite a journey. I've stopped responding to conventional treatments and here's my story as I try to find a way to get my life back!

Hey, what's one more doctor to see, right?...
i saw the cardiologist Monday...good news...they don't see a need in doing anything to my pfo.
bad news...over the last few years Ive been getting dizzy faint like spells with chest pain. every time i go to the ER they do a chest xray and send me home. obviously to me they weren't looking into it closely enough. Ive went about 15 times in the last few years. you would think they would see that...well at least my cardiologist did. so he's sending me a neurologist to do an MRI on my brain to see what's going on. he thinks they could possible be seizure or mini stroke related. and since i have chronic migraines, the neurologist can help me with that too. who knows, maybe he can help with my insomnia too.
So Im going to do some tests to check the oxygen flow and blood flow in my heart and see the neurologist and hopefully then we will know more. ill keep you posted.
Pray for good tests results, some relief and for me to continue staying positive. that part gets hard when you just turned 27 a week ago and all of this is my life and it's for life, not goin anywhere lol..i have my bad days just like any other but i know through the power of everyones prayers Im going to keep pushing through and keep my head and my spirits up! God will get me through. He's the reason Im still here after all Ive been through and he's the reason ill keep going! so keep me in mind when you pray! :) Thanks to all my supporters!
and please keep my friends Raechel from Michigan and Aly from Louisiana in your prayers as well. they mean the world to me and i know the pain they're suffering from their Crohns and related health problems. Both also have a child and they need to be able to be strong for their little girls. Help them do that by praying for their health and well being! I love you girls!" Crohnies for life! :)
