Hi, I have chrones disease, I’ve had it since 2009. I used to work full time, but was really struggling to work and having hospital appointments which my boss at the time made hard for me. I’ve been told to claim pip, but got turned down. I think I should be entitled to it, and thinks it’s unfair I got turned down. I go to the toilet between 5 - 10 times a day, and it leaves me in agony. Then I feel terrible and worn out all day. I’ve lost a lot of weight and sometimes don’t eat much due to the pain. Can anyone please help me with a suggestion as to what I can do please

Welcome to the community @stephenblahuta
Thanks for joining.
I can see that you've made a separate post about your PIP query, which is great.
I'm sorry to hear that you've been struggling with your Crohn's disease for a while now. Are your medical team aware of how difficult things have become for you? Have you been offered any treatments?
You're welcome to seek advice and support here on the community, and I hope that another member with Crohn's disease will find your post soon, but I'm wondering whether it'd also be worth getting in touch with Crohn's and Colitis UK? They may be able to offer you some additional support and guidance.
