Thanks tinah and Peace and Charm, It has been tough. I have scopes for August 22nd. Prep won't be fun, but at least it's before school starts. Things have gone up and down, I got a new job since I couldn't handle my 8+ hour shifts at my old job, and this new one is at hollister :) So it made my...

Thanks Lucinda! That was great advice and support! I actually went to a kidney specialists today. I have a sponge kidney, which some people have, you're born with it so it's not like I did anything wrong, but this means I can be more prone to kidney stones. I haven't had any yet. My doctor said...

Thanks for all the support! Today was a really tough day. I didn't leave the house. Yesterday my stomach started to expand and didn't go back down. I'm guessing it was inflammation from Crohn's obviously and some bloating. It was soft and tender to the touch, not a blockage or anything serious...

Just as an update for you all... I am trying to move up my scopes date. Right now it is scheduled for September 13, but I can't wait that long. I went through a little time in remission, a little over a week, wasn't 100% but felt so much better and was able to eat! I gained back 4lbs! But...

Thanks for the responses guys! I'm going to my doctors tomorrow and will def. look into those little packets! I'm bringing up some medication so I can hopefully start soon! And thanks for lifting my spirits!

Well where do I start... All my life I've been sick. I always seemed to get sick all the time. It was always hard for me to do the things I wanted to because I would get sick. I never thought much of it until I got sick while visiting my boyfriend in Pittsburgh. I was supposed to leave on...

Hello Stephenie, I am actually on the other end of your predicament. I have Crohn's and I know it's hard not only for me but my boyfriend. It's so true what Skippy said. It's not that we don't want to cuddle or open up to our significant other, it's just that our Crohn's disease has practically...

My symptoms hit right before Memorial Day this year (May 27th 2012). I had all these tests done and still are getting done the last one is July 12th 2012. My doctor has concluded due to my results so far and a family history of Crohn's that this is what I have. Although it's not set in stone...

I really really miss my vegetables and fruits! I was vegetarian for 4 years! And since Crohn's hit me a month ago, I've only had one salad/vegetable/fruit for which I paid for later that night... Can't eat the foods which I loved and survived on for 4 years! It sucks...
