secondary symptoms


Mon, November 12, 2018 8:44 PM

I have had Crohns for about 8 years and ulcerative colitis for 30 years. I `have ha typical bowel movements with some pain and blood. However I am now having other symptoms and the doctor says these are related to my Crohns - I am not s sure
I feel tired and run down like I am starting a cold, backache, slight nauseau, headaches, body aches and generally feel something is not right. Is this normal? My bowel movements have not changed. I am just worried that the Doctor automatically blames this on the Crohns rather than looking for other causes
