I'm trying to apply for disability due to the Crohn's, extreme fatigue (sleeping minimum of 10 hours a day plus frequent naps), depression and migraines.

First the shots worked for the entire time... then only 3 weeks...then less...and now they don't seem to be doing anything. My GI has me...

    Systems for dealing with life and fatigue

    I am working on reorganizing how I do things in my life to include systems to deal with constantly being sick and/or tired. I'm finding it hard to work full time, keep the house clean, eat healthy, spend time with friends and my hubby, etc. I thought others might like to share what has or has...

    Hello everyone, I am a 25 year old female currently dealing with what is either a major flare up of my Crohn’s and/or a continuation of a battle with C-difficile. I am feeling emotionally drained as I am in my first year of teaching and am concerned about what may happen if things continue to...
