In 2010 I was diagnosed with Chrons after a series of strange occurences which landed me in the hospital for a week. Ending with a colonoscopy which indicated 19 ulcers in the colon with over 10 bleeding. I was tappered off meds with me returning to the hospital with abdominal pain and very srtrange sores on my legs and arms. At that time I was diagnosed with Chrons. I was placed on remicade which I had a reaction to and then placed on Humira and currently inject every 2wks subcontaneously.
Today I went to my dr for 6 month up. We reviewed my most recent blood work collected on 8/16/2012. Upon review of the results I began to discuss I had experienced an episode for approximatley three weeks leading up to the blood work. Dr seemed a little perplexed my bloodwork did not indicate that I had experienced an type of episode possibly gastroitis. I figured this was my time to again revisit the question "do you think I have Chrons?" So of course the testing begins again lets check again for fistulas due to the leakage. Prometheus blood ordered and consult with the colon rectal surgeon.
The question can this blood work rule out that I have chrons all together?
any input will be appreciated!
