crohn's is my enemy
I have had crohn's for 3 years now and it has completely taken over my life. I know people say "you have crohn's, crohn's doesn't have you" but in my case and probably a lot of you's it just doesn't feel that way at all. I have tried everything to live as normal as i could...taking my meds, going to doctor appointments and when i thought everything was going great, I ended up in the hospital again for 2 days. The doctor let me go home as an out-patient but now i have to go for surgery in 2 weeks. I had the disease near my appendix but it turns out that i have it in three other places as well and have 2 fistulas that are so painful I don't bother doing anything all day. I miss my friends and being with my children all the time. I have friend's who don't understand at all and tell me i'm faking all the time. I guess people can't really understand because they can't see it but it's still pretty annoying. Thank God For my awesome and supportive husband who has been there for me since the beginning. Well thanks for letting me vent...i love this forum because i know that everyone on here will understand and for the first time i feel like i'm not talking to the wall..or won't have people telling me to quit feeling sorry for myself Thanks
