Do you have a name

Hi everyone this is kind of a funny/ lighthearted thread just wondered if anyone has a name for their pain,

I call mine freddy lol
 
lol

I don't but now that you've said something the next time I flare (hopefully it won't be for another 4 years) I'm going to make one up.
 
haha i call mine freddy pure for the simple reason as i think its freddy kruger living inside me i swear when my bowels grumble and make loads of noise it sounds like freddy kruger teasin and laughin lol
 
I call my sickness the Unholy plague and I do not give the pain any name because I do not ackknolwdge it exist.. yeah I'm pretty much nuts! and f*&?%$.
 
Love it porter, that is how I describe the pain like I have a Freddy Kruger baby inside my tummy :) Also because I look 6 month prego when im flaring.
 
If I turn out with Crohn's, I'm proudly proclaiming mine as "Captain Crohn,Gut Pirate and Scourge of the Cecum".

I'm undiagnosed, so I usually call it the mystery gut illness or the gut grumbles. But sometimes I like to think that there's an angry little gnome named Herman who is running around in my guts, and he is wearing cleats and has a pick-axe that he uses to hit the painful spots. On my bad days I'll tell my husband that the evil guts-dwelling gnome is really riled up!
