Newly diagnosed with crohns

by Shannon
(Michigan)

I have just been diagnosed with crohns ten days ago. I am very confused about this desease also after being sick for so long , relieved to finally know why i was so miserable. Im 37yrs old and feel i probably had crohns flares since my childhood. This last year was the worst of all with so much pain i felt very inadiqate as a wife and mother of three children i wondered if i would ever feel good again.. My crohns is in my mouth, stomach, and acending colon.. My doctor put me on 1 gram of pentasa to take four times a day.. I would like some input on how well this drug has worked for others with their desease in the same area as mine is.. Thank you for reading and any input would be great(:
