probably saved my life.

medical doctors and their offspring can tell us oh so much, can tell me words i've never heard of, give us directions on how to follow up on those words with more than 4 syllables.

pursue these avenues of drugs and lifestyle and see what happens.

if its not right, call me.

i may be able to help you pursue a new direction, give you a new drug, help medicate you to new level till we see what happens next.

see if this one works.

we're not sure whats wrong with you.

here's some more big words for you.

you probably wont remember them cause i'm talking to you about this while your coming out of an anesthetic.


you have crohns/UC, heres some medical information.


call us when your feeling unwell, we should be able to see you.....




i probably lost my large intestine due to a failure of medical advice.

i was so goddam sick (so many of you know what i'm talking about, you've been there), i was grey, i was so underweight, i was dying lol, i was so goddam sick.

i saw the adverts on TV , they have hot chicks and guys with abs i'd die for (yes benson, yours...). all you have to do is eat high fiber and do the right exercise....

i took that path, i ate high fibre, i tried to excercise, i went the extra mile.

i ended up in hospital for 43 days

7 days later i was back there getting my crohns induction scars as my large intestine was removed.

it wasnt medical knowledge i needed prior to this, it was someone with common sense i needed to sit me down and tell me how goddam serious this disease can be.

i needed someone to tell me that simple things like diet, stress and a healthy mind can overcome so much of this disease.

i needed crohnsforums.com

This is my first day on this site & i have yet to read something and not understand how they feel. but for real, thats all SO SO SO true. Its disgusting, our medical care these days. I really, truely dont understand why people become doctors if they arent doing it to help people. sure, the money might be nice - but to have to deal with a bunch of people whining about their problems when your (oh so clearly) dont give a s%&t? its sick.

Sorry to hear about your large intestine :-/ i cant imagineeee but im sure its awful. :(

and as far as all of those guys and girls with perfectly flat amazing ripped abs? .. well, they might be physically strong, but im sure you (like most of the other people on this site, as far as i can tell) are way, way stronger. and guess what? that's way more important that having a perfect body anyways. trust me. :) take careeee
 
Everything was exceptional Jed, every bit, though I lost my physique (and abs) to this disease too. When it all came crashing down around me, my abs were the least of my concern. I needed something closer to what I get from support like this place. As much as my gf and family may try to help, they are outside the forest, and you guys are in it with me. Now that I have friends and co-sufferers, I can focus on building my life back up again, even though the pieces keep falling after I place them back up, I have people behind me telling me "just pick them up and do it again".

Again, Jed, historic words from an astounding guy.

And btw, stay on the forum this time. :)

you're beautiful bens, man-love hugs for you all the way:)

hugs to all actually.

i just came home Saturday night to find everything that had transpired, and i was quite devastated by it all. so i just sat here and typed as quickly as my lil fingers would let me get thoughts out.

just really wanted to say what this site, and the people on here, meant to me....


and now i'm stickied!!!!!!

/waggle

he he, i've actually found it much harder to reply to this after what you've all said, thankyou :blush:


(oh, and i do love and trust my doctors, i just love the laymans terms i got here more)
 
(Sorry for the old post revival)

Hi from the Crohn's class of 2008!!! I've not been here in so very long. I used to be a very active member back in the day of dial up internet.

Just remembered this post and got all excited.

Some context to this post - There was a time back then when we had someone logging on as two different people, one of them "died", and I found her posting on other sites for other medical reasons. It was shocking for our community we had back then. The moderators back then wanted me to say something about it, and this post was it.

I'll drop by and re introduce myself to you one day soon.

Hope you're all doing well.
