So recently I have been having some crazy abdominal pain and yesteday it just got unbarable so I went to my regular doctor and after doing a quick exam they immediatly sent me to the ER because they thought I had appendicitis. So after waiting for 4 hours in the ER (most uncomfertable exsperience ever) I was able to get a blood test, which showed my white blood sells were really high which is a sign of appendicits or an inflamed organ, but my catscan ran negative for appendicitis. So the doc told me that there not really sure what I have yet but they know I have an inflamed lower organ, which leads to a whole handful of possibilties one being chron's disease...I'm a little bit nervous right now because chrons disease is uncureable, but on the other hand I can get medical bud. Anyone have the disease? Im hoping this will just pass over and be something else. I go in for more testing monday.

Thanks NS.

Here's hoping you end up being alright. One time doctor's thought I had appendix problems, it ended up just being gas aha.

cousin has this. theyve offered him medical bud but hes a mormon so thats a no no

but he deals with it really well, im surpised that you just found out about it cuz he's known about it his whole life. also the disease has stunted his growth but he took hormones to to grow he's like five eight now. also it its a hereditary diease too.

he's like 25 and still manages to ski about 6 days a week. theres a whole bunch of research goin down about this.

what did you eat before your intense pain?

something similar happened to me last spring.

i had gall bladder stones and had to have surgery, was in the hospital for 6 days. you probably dont have that because my guess would be they would have found it in the ER.

i know a girl with chrons and it fucks with her lief a bit.

Although you have to look at the benefit here if you can actually get a medical pot card FOR LIFE. Just to have some cramps........

I'd take some cramps and a pot card, over being jailed for a simple herb.

I actually know quite a few people with Crohn's. My dad has it, and it's giving him a bunch of problems right now, which is kinda scary. But I had an ex that has it. She had a bunch of problems and was in the hospital a long time (before I knew her) but it's in control now and doesn't seem to be a problem.

Hope it's not that, but you can certainly live with it.
