I want to scream and I haven't got the energy. I had surgery for Crohns for the fourth time last March. It's already active again, I'm so tired and I don't want to fight anymore. I'm back on the steroids, iron tablets and another new tablet i can't remember at this moment. I see the GI nurse...

Hi Fee, No I mean Hi Darling, I can't deny I want you to have the surgery and the sooner the better, I see you disappearring before my eyes and can't bear to see you in pain. You try to hide it but Mum knows. I'm longing for you to be able to live a "normal" life again and to live it to...

Hi Lizzy Bless you, I'm sure we've all been where you are now . You're so young to be so far from home. I hope you have plenty of contact with your mum and family back at home. Technology is fab nowadays and I'm sure you could speak to your mum on one of those webcams. What about trying a night...

Hi Jennifer Glad to see you've got in touch with the proffessionals, hope they can sort you out soon as. Don't you even think your a fraud, you are coping because you have no alternative but there will come the time when you will have to allow yourself time to get better, whatever treatment...

oops ! An angry husband burst into the doctors surgery and punched the doc in the face. What was that for ? asked the doc. My wife has been to see you and that'll teach you for telling her she'd a nice fanny ! I actually told her she had acute angina said the doctor.

here's another ! A married couple wer doing there shopping in the supermarket. The husband wants to buy some beers, wife says no wer'e not buying beer. A bit later the wife wants to buy some face cream, it's only £10 she says. The husband says no wer'e not buying blooming face cream. It'll...

Hi Brian What a time you had and glad to hear that things are fairly good at the moment. It's all too common that people just do not believe us and it takes years to be dignosed. I was diagnosed at 17 (i'm 51 now) and I had been very ill for a long time but doctors thought I was an attention...

Hi Emily, It was lovely to hear of another mum, daughter pair of crohnies. I'd rather she didn't have it but yes I suppose it is actually nice to have it in common and be able to talk so openly. I think it's made our relationship even closer as it seems things that you would never dream of...

Hi Dave Hi Dave, VitB12 injections are every 3 months, I think my last blood test was June, I don't know what the results were and feel embarrassed that I don't think to ask for results. I have the outlook that if anything in the tests gave cause for concern they would let me know. I try not...

hi Bruno, It certainly sounds like you've had quite a time of it but you have coped well. I'm 51 so i will seem very old to you but I was diagnosed at 17. I had the same kind of problems that you described, the doctors didn't seem to believe me as i couldn't pinpoint the pain and the tests they...

Hi Dave Hi Dave , Thanks for replying to me, I'm on vitB12 injections and heve been since I was 17.I've asked if I could be given the injections more often but It's always no. I'm a raving insomniac so that's why I'm on this at 2.55am and I'm not even on steroids ! It's just the way I am. Bye...

Hi Fee Oh Fiona, this is lovely, I'm smiling as I'm trying to work out this site, you know what I'm like, scared of the day I never saw ! Thank u so much for suggesting it. Love ya loads, Mum to you xxx Carolyn P (to anyone else!)

Hi Jessi Hi Jessie, hope I'm doing this right, this is all new to me. My daughter's name is Fiona and her user name is Fee. She's like me in a lot of ways but she also got my illness, I feel bad and guilty that it's my fault but sadly there's not a thing I can do about it and feel helpless when...

Hi Karlea, I've just joined this forum and saw that your daughter has Crohns. My daughter's 23 and was diagnosed earlier this year and I feel so guilty because I have Crohns and blame myself for passing it on to her. Before I had children I had asked if it was hereditary but was told it...

Hi Everyone, To be brief I have Crohns and was diagnosed when I was 17, I'm now 51 so have lived with this for a lifetime. I have had surgery 4 times now, with the latest being in March this year. I'm physically fine as I'll ever be but my mood is very low and am actually quite depressed.There...
