Selina's Story

I am 43 years old and just got diagnosed with Crohn's Disease at the end of April 2017, after a 4 day hospital stay for the worst stomach pain I have ever had in my life and I have given birth 3 times! Gastro just put me on Prednisone and Pentasa. I was not expecting any of this. I thought it was my gallbladder or maybe I needed my appendix out. I have been looking things up on my about this disease but i feel like I know a whole lot about nothing. Very frustrating!
