Well, it's been about 3 weeks since this flare started. It's mid summer and I'm just laying around waiting for symptoms to subside. Everyone's out and about, so I figured I'd check into a crohns forum.
I am a 23 year old man.When I was 15 I started having bloody stools and terrible cramping daily. Being young and naive, I wasn't able to differentiate my bowl troubles from other adolescent ails, and I suffered for months without telling anyone. I got weaker and weaker until I was finally admitted for severe anemia.
I hated the doctors and taking pills. To this day I still do not take the mesalamine I am prescribed. I normally will get a bloody stool once a week or so, and a flare or two once per year.
I decided to become self employed in order to avoid complications with health and my work. I do a lot of different freelance work online and don't plan to stop until I have a stable business of my own.
I am vegetarian and I am hoping that this website will have some natural solutions to my problems. I dont usually smoke marijuana but I am interested in medical as a possible avenue of relief.
