As a Crohn’s patient myself, I have often become anxious about the inevitable future of my illness. This debilitating disease fluctuates between flare ups and remission. Since my first symptoms appeared in August 2021, including blood in my stool, I have had to pay for 3 different medications - which didn’t have a positive impact on my illness.
Those with Crohn’s and colitis are at greater risk of developing bowel cancer. I ask does it need to reach that point for me to seek free prescriptions?
