I am new to the forum here and actually found out about it when i was googling about people with chrons and tattoos.My story is that I was diagnosed with Chrons back in January of 2010. I actually spent that last week of December in immense pain and I was really sick. After the new year when I finally got to the dr, he was really surprised that I could even stay awake because I was so dehydrated. When they admitted me to the hospital, it actually took them 6 tries to thread the IV into me. They finally had to get an ER nurse to do it.
End of the story being that I was diagnosed with Chrons and have been dealing with it ever since then. I have to be careful about what I eat and when I eat something that is bad for me I get the feeling like I have to pop my neck and the feeling won't go away. I don't know if that happens to anyone else. But it has taken me a bit to realize that that is what that feeling means. At the moment I am taking both Lialda and Imuran and they seem to be working. But I have gotten to the point if I forget my medicine even one day I just dont feel right and feel run down. So I am trying to make the best of out the situations that I go through and I think that this forum will help me feel like I am not alone. Since most people I talk to have no idea at all of what Chrons is.

Would you say you are symptom free now on your current meds? How often do you now see your GI doc to discuss how things are going? I take it due to the Imuran you are still having bloods taken for monitoring? Do you find that even on days that you have taken your meds you feel a little unwell? Will leave the questions at that for now!
