First time I read some of the stories here...

I cried. Im a 39 year old guy and really felt bad for people that had so much worse problems than me. I really feel for you peeps who suffer with proper bad problems. I have my problems (that have ben worse than ever recently) but I can see some real suffering and know how it feels kind of.:ghug:

this forum has been an excellent source of knowledge!

I agree with you. I shed a whole bunch of healing tears over reading others' stories. It was so sad, but felt so good to not be alone.

Yes, as bad as we think we have it, there are others out there so much worse. This forum was a lifesafer for me. It put it all in perspective. It gave me hope. Yes...the folks on here are amazing!

There have been many people who have suffered long and some of them have had good results. It is hard to carry on when you are so sick and all you want is relief. I hate it more when little kids are sick and all they want is to go and play. People come and people go , but one thing about this forum, you are never alone. Always someone to help you.

when i was first diagnosed and found this forum, i cried and cried and cried for days reading everyone's journies.....i can't believe what people go through every day. i have it so easy compared to a lot of fellow Crohnies! and, not gonna lie, i was crying for myself and worried that things might get worse for me...but you have to be grateful for any good days you have.
