I want to say, Hello to everyone whom visits and reads this forum. I am 26 years old and was diagnosed with Crowns disease/proctitis in May of 2013. I started having symptoms in November of 2012, My mother has UC and just had a J-pouch surgery in December 2013. When I was first diagnosed in May I was incredibly sick and could not figure out why, my mother had her reservations before my diagnosis but did not want me to be worried. I was first prescribed Canasa which worked fine from May-Sept 2013. When September came around everything went haywire I was sicker than I had ever been before to the point I struggled to get out of bed. I was placed on cortifoam at this point which worked well from October-December 2013. In December again everything went haywire and I was again left bedridden. At this point my Doctors and my parents thought that upgrading to the big boys Asacol/Prednisone or another combination of drugs was the next step. I pretty much refused to take these drugs which continued my descent into my own personal nightmare. I was then told about a strange holistic remedy known as Rick Simpson oil which I had never heard of being a medical marijuana patient already with some success I decided to take the plunge. I started Rick Simpson oil on January 22nd 2014 and by the 27th everything was improving/changing for the better, I decided to stop all pharmaceuticals on the 28th and since then have been in complete remission with ZERO symptoms. At this point 35 days in I have tried to induce a flare with pretty much no success(the closest to a flare like event occurred after eating 3/4 of a 14 Oz bag of lays scoops tortilla chips everyday for 3 days in succession with the only reaction being 2 small streaks of blood on an otherwise healthy looking stool twice in the same day with no other indicators of a flare) I am here now at this point to share my story and to learn from anyone else whom has experienced the same results/reaction. Thank You all for your time reading this I look forward to all of your input.
