I really hope I have crohns!

I know, that seems dumb. Who would want crohns?! Well I do. I finally found a disease that has almost all of my symptoms. I've had Irritable Bowel Syndrome for a few years so I've had a lot of the symptoms for crohns already. But it actually makes sense for most of my other problems that I have. I brush every day but I still have swollen gums. Some of my joints are inflammed so I have to take arthrotec even though I don't have arthritis. And I have bilateral foot drop. Bilateral foot drop is rare in crohns but it is caused by a vitamin B12 defficiency. If I had a B12 defficiency it would explain the fact that I eat only one meal every 2 days, am sleeping upwards of 15 hours a day and have trouble concentrating. There are a bunch of other ones that I have too but I rather not get into them.


Everyone keep your fingers crossed. The only thing I don't have is numbness and tingling in the hands and feet (which generally occur years before bilateral foot drop but I'm still optimistic).

Crohns is basically bloody diarreah. Hahaha. So I don't really want that but I'll take it over paralisis.
