Surgery and Crohn's Disease Flare Up
Donation protected
Hi, My name is Coulton Harmon and I have had Crohn's Disease since I was about 13 (25 now). Recently it has become unresponsive to even the strongest medication (high dose round of prednisone, which in the past would stop flares within 1-2 weeks) and I was told most likely my only option is to get my Colon removed. Because of the symptoms I am experiencing the amount I am able to work is limited, and if I have to get the surgery, which it is looking 90% in that direction (just waiting on a 2nd colonoscopy), I will be unable to work at all for a while, and limited again as I recover. I have been falling more and more behind on bills, pawned everything I own, and now I am at a loss. I can't keep up anymore and it is putting a lot of financial stress on my Mom as well, so I figured it can't hurt to try this. Any help would be appreciated and would help greatly. Thank you.
