had it for years

hi everyone im new 2 all this although i'v had crohns for over 25 years i'v never spoken to a fellow sufferer before,i'm 45 and i have been on various medications none of which seemed to have much effect, as well as this i'v had two surgeries and i don't think i'll go down that road again. I'm havin a bad time again at the minute and its gettin to me so if anyone out there has any advice i'd appreciate it... Thanks

Hi Flint, I can't really give good advice or anything because i'm only 16 and had it a few months. Welcome to the forum though, I'm sure everyone else will be willing to give you advice.
