Shalom brothers and sisters. I've had a "moderate to severe" case of crohns / colitis since like 96. After years of prodding from the wife, I finally decided to become a member of a support group. Why I registered today and not b4? Maybe for the first time since being diagnosed I've lost my will to fight. I'm not going to bore you w/ my history ( they'll be time for that) I guess I'd rather offer insight for now, and make every post as it may be my last, although my higher power likes to duck w me to no end, and w/ this in mind, the universe will keep me on this mortal coil w tp in one hand, and some sort of illicit analgesic pon the other for another 40 50 fuck8n years...for what it's worth, the worst part of this existence is the loneliness. Develop a sense of humor if you ain't got one, cuz your gonna duckin need it. I got plenty of dietary wisdom, pain relief advice, and whatever any one wants to ask me about, but If you have a good support network, or even just one person, a fuck8n sensative, properly domesticated companion animal even, you got all you need, and should thank the spirits every day for such a creature, cuz as many of you have had to learn the hard way, these / this type of individual/s are / is the proverbial red herring, diamond in the rough, so on and such. I'll expand on all the above as we go, if nothing else, im here because I'm tired of talking to myself, which is real healthy / cathartic so long as you understand that your TALKING TO YOURSELF, aND there ain't no other motherfuc8er present. Being your own best friend is maybe the best relationship one can have in order to deal with crohns or any difficulty in this life. Truth be told, I'd love for anyone who feels alone, or suicidal, broken, whatev. to contact me and ask / tell me whatev. You wouldn't know it to look at me now, but I had a real interesting life at one point, and have all sorts of half witted insight about swollen colons, and lots of other shit that I could write a best seller about, and would other than the fact that my life story would land me in a work camp. Oh yeah, my other piece of advice is stay off facebook, and be leary of Newport smokers under like 5/5...stay thirsty mI amigos...
