My crohns got very extensive apparently
I just got my results back from my MRE and I am shocked to say the least. I went in for a suspected flare but it wasn’t as bad as any other flare before. I just went in because it “may” be a flare. My MRE showed active inflammation throughout my whole jejunum. Average width of the jejunum wall is 7mm. I also have my jejunum adhered to each in other in a few places. My terminal ileum was patchy before. Now it shows complete. Also fatty liver along with bile duct sludge.
I only had active disease in terminal ileum and a few places on my colon. And the last endoscopy showed a tiny place where I had nonspecific chronic duodenitis but it wasn’t anything to worry about. I have been diagnosed about 5 years ago. My last MRE was last year. I have been alright since 2 years ago. My symptoms only came back a few weeks ago. I did not expect anything like this when I went in. I have a colonoscopy next month.
So what now?! I wasnt supposed to see the doc until my colonoscopy. I think the doc also did not expect anything like this. But this had me worried a lot. Should I go in? Did anyone have this happen? I know jejunal crohns is harder to treat. What was it like for you? Am I overthinking this to be more severe than it is?
