I've had Crohn's for 9 yrs in Dec. I just turned 30. Since then, I've had two resections, a million scopes and EGDs, been diagnosed with Reynaulds, hiddreadentis superativa, PCOS, bipolar, taken Remicade (twice!), humira, methotrexate (twice!), imuran (severely allergic and tried it twice), asacol, pentasa, and am going to try tysabri. I also have a med port. It's in my right ventricle because the other two times it clotted off- oh yeah I have deep vein thrombosis as well. Like everyone I know in real life with Crohn's or colitis is barely affected by it. They work out heavily and do whatever. I can't even work or feed my cats. I had to quit school and I've lost so many jobs, friends, insert everything. So hopefully someone here will understand me. I've tried therapists and group therapy and that didn't work. I'm just in pain and it sucks. Grr.

Hi Tiger09. Welcome to the forum. I am sorry you have to go thru all this. Having crohn's by it self is hard, so on top of that having so many things is terrible. I just want to send support and hugs. This forum is wonderful and I am sure you will find support from other members. I hope you feel better soon.
