Hi Everyone. I am 63 yrs old. I have had Crohns' Disease for 6 years. It took 2 years to diagnose so I guess that is 8 yrs in total. I know I am quite a lot older than many people here. In a sense That makes me lucky because I have not had so much pain for so long. I have not had to cope throughout school or college etc. However, I have had one Resection and hope to not need anymore. I was very lucky and had a wonderful medical team. My problem at the moment is mostly tiredness. Severe fatigue even. Also a certain amount of lower back pain. Some days it takes me all my time to get dressed but others, ( few and far between) I can cope like most people. In a sense so again I am lucky. I am still trying after all this time to find out what I can and can not eat and the list goes on for ever. Thank you all for reading and I hope I can offer some input to the group as well as receive plenty from all the rest of you.
