Man, you just scared me with the 10 years thing, I remember when I was first diagnosed I was 2 weeks in and the dr said maybe 3 to 6 weeks and I am now at 14 months. I experienced the same thing after my first Cat Scan in the ER, the dr said I had some inflammation in my intestines and I will be fine and sent me home. I was in terrible pain and called my gastroenterologist and that’s when I learned that it was rare and they didn’t have a true treatment plan. I feel like they don’t understand how your quality of life is diminished when you walk around all day like someone keeps punching you in the gut.
