    Punching Crohn’s in the balls!

    Punching Crohn’s in the balls!

    Oh and I had a nice moment with the surgeon. No one sees me as a tough guy. I am not. I am a peaceful school teacher. I’m not impressive and look like a regular pudgy middle aged guy.

    Crohn's, Ken Doll, multiple surgeries, looking for helpful advice

    Thank you all for reading my very long introduction: short question: can a doctor refuse to give me the next treatment against crohn's because he feels that while I do have crohn's it is not active ? I appreciate all the help and support

    Hi I am the father of two beautiful 2 year-old boys. I am an elementary school teacher and I have been suffering with Crohn's for most of my life. When I was 3 I stopped eating, became very skinny and was misdiagnosed with Epilepsy because I suffered a 6-hour status epilepticus episode...
