8 year old with crohns.

[dodie]

Hi Everyone, my son was diagnosed last year with crohns. he is 8 years old and doin really good, thank goodness. He doesnt suffer with any symtoms at all and sometimes i wonder about it all?? He did heve biopsys taken when he had colonoscopy and endoscopy and he also had a camera capsule done. It showed 4 different parts were affected with it and one bein his anus ( he had surgery for anal fistula last april). I just wonder if theres different levels of crohns as my son seems to have it SO mild ( thank god) alot of the stories i read are so heartbreaking and i feel so lucky my son is doing good and long may this last. xx

Welcome Dodie! My son has been dxed 1.5 years now and since his initial round of pred, he's felt good probably 95% + of the time. With treatments continuing to improve, maybe our boys will never need suffer again! Glad you found us! Good news is always welcome!

Hi dodie and :welcome:

I'm glad you found your way here and it's fab to read that your son is doing so well, YAY! May it last a lifetime hun. This is a fab place for support and info so I hope you stick around 'cause we would love to have you here.

Is your son on any medication?

There are different levels of severity and some people may only suffer with a mild variety throughout their lives but many people also find that they move between the levels, ranging from remission through to severe.

Good luck and welcome aboard!

Take care, :hug:
