I got salmonella when I was about 18 from eating cold chicken, everyone else ate it when it was re cooked & was fine, but I was dxd with cd untill I was 30 & they asked if I had ever had severe food poisoning & when they found out about my salmonella my GI thinks that I had it underlying any way & the salmonella started it brewing.
Im doing really well atm, am in remission, so far, had my op in 2004 which is when they discovered my cd & I used to work in ITU & theatre & ended up in both as a patient with my work mates looking after me & it was so embarassing, but was spoilt rotten, lol.
have gone back to work now as am doing so well, but only 15 hours a week & it is more than enough.
are you training to be a doc then? any idea what speciality you want to go in to or is it a bit early to worry about that yet. Ive been a qualified nurse for 6 years now & hubby is a cardiac nurse & bro in law is an a&e charge nurse, so if we can help out at all in the beginning, just shout.
best of luck with uni & enjoy it, oooo main thing is is tell your tutor about your cd, so you have some support in uni, when I did my training, one of my friends at the time had cd & she coped really well & uni were fab with her.
