    Thickened Ureter

    Has anyone been diagnosed with a thickened ureter that is related to CD ? This was picked up on my last MRI and I'm having a CT scan on Monday for further investigation. Apparently the right ureter can sometimes be affected in CD but mine is on the left side. Don't really know what to make of...

    After Suicide

    This is not related to my Crohn's but the stress of it all is causing a worsening of symptoms. One month ago my ex husband committed suicide. He left no explanation and this has absolutely shattered my children, age 32 and 26. They are very fortunate to have good friends who have stuck by them...

    Tired of this shoddy treatment.

    I have not been feeling too well over the past month or so...lots of joint pain, nausea, fatigue, etc. I have not seen my GI since last March so decided it would be a good idea to make an appointment to see her. I phoned yesterday and spoke to the office assistant. This is now the second time...

    Would've appreciated a little support

    I realize that my post from yesterday wasn't the happiest, but I really would have been grateful for a few replies just to know I'm not alone. Friends and family don't get it but I thought that people on here would be able to relate in some way.

    Feeling ungrateful

    Right now I am feeling so resentful of every single person who is healthy and whole. I also feel very ashamed of myself for having those thoughts. My life is not terrible but I thought it would be so much better by now. I had my first small bowel resection last April with two feet of bowel being...

    After Surgery

    Hi all. My name is Donna and this is my first time posting. I've had Crohn's since 2003 and had my first (I hope only) resection in April and had 68 cm. of my small bowel removed. I've been pain free since surgery but still have fatigue, sore mouth and arthritic joints. My question is: even...
