i was planning on going, and was real excited. now my crohns disease is flaring up, and it aint looking good:crying:
i got diagnosed about a year ago, but have had problems since i was around 12. i am only 21(22 on the 19th). it is the worst, it makes me useless and in pain for days at a time. it was real bad for a few months like 3 days out of the week i would flare! i had a spell of about 2 months that i didn't flare up, then bam! last night it hits me. nothing i have taken has helped either, it sucks.
I know what you mean. I got diagnosed when I was 13, I am 30 now. I have had almost all my large intestine removed and some of my small intestine. It is a very bad disease but try and stay positive. I always try to think anout the other people who have it worse than you do. I know it is painfull but I would rather have this than be stuck in a bed because I was paralyzed from the waiste down. If you stay mentally positive, I promise, it will make things a lot easier for you. If you need some one to talk to or some advise or ask some questions, PM me and I will send you my number for you to call me sometime.
thanks that means a lot to me. seeing how everyone but my girlfriend didn't believe me, that i was diagnosed with it. it was a big ordeal of being called lazy and a faker till i made them go to the doctors with me. it was embarrassing and very hurtful at the same time. i am usually good with dealing with it. my doctor was giving me narcotic pain killers and i stopped taking them because my family thinks they are the devil or something. and i was just some junky getting a fix. if they only knew the real me. the one who's anxiety was causing him to have panic attacks when he took them. thinking i was going to OD, i would stand outside of the hospital waiting to fall over. i hated taken them but taking 1/2 of 1 when i was hurting really helped. i will stop derailing the thread now, thanks again and i will Pm you if i need to talk.
