I had an appointment with my specialist yesterday to talk about my Crohn’s which is causing severe incontinence right now.
The medication is super scary and it makes you gain weight and increases risk of cancer, makes it that you can’t drink at all, have to be careful in the sun, sleeping problems.
He told me if I keep putting off treatment my incontinence will be irreversible.
Here’s my dilemma and what I’ve decided this medication is going to hinder my life more than wetting and messing myself does as well as cramps therefore I’m choosing to let my incontinence get worse apparently eventually I won’t get any urgency I’ll literally just use my nappy without knowing.
I’m embarrassed and I’m annoyed that this is happening but the side effects of the medicine just seem worse than the illness
Guess I’m about to say goodbye of hope to ever use the toilet again.
