Long road

Hello everyone, my name is Kaden. I was diagnosed with Crohn's when I was 15 years old. I am now 18. I suffered through those four years with depression and many other things from this disease. Through the years I have been on a fist full a medication from predison to many others. There was times that I felt like I couldn't do it anymore but I kept fighting. I almost died twice from this disease. I lost 30 pounds in a week. I am 127 pounds so yeah. It wasn't until last year or so that I ended up going to the mayo clinic in Minnesota were I was treated properly and been on remicad ever since. Now I've been in remission for about a year now and living life like I was before. I thank god everyday for helping me through this long and difficult journey which I have gotten stronger from. Makes you have a different perspective on life after you go through something like this.
