Featured Crohn's disease patient discussions on symptoms at onset of disease"My son was diagnosed 3 months ago, but he was sick for 6 months before. He complained with a stomach ache and I would take him to the doctor and he would say it's a virus and give him antibiotics. Soon he had missed so much school that I had to get something done. (He really does not like school so I thought he was faking at first.) He had diarrhea and abdominal pain but no fever, but the g.i. doctor did a CT scan for appendicitis and ended up with a diagnosis of Crohn's." "My six-teen year old daughter was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease last week and fear filled my body immediately. We took her to the doctor due to her finding blood from her anus after using the restroom. She has not yet experienced any pain due to the disease; however, the doctor told us that it is in its early stage at this time. She does experience back pain on her spine and we are in the process of having that checked out as well. I read that Crohn's disease affects the spine also." "I'm a 33 Year old woman and have had Crohn's disease since I was 26. I have been on azathioprine immunosuppressant for 18 months now and have noticed that I am losing my hair which is quite worrying , also my scalp is tender and my hair is very dry."
