New to this site, but not new to Crohns Dx. I was diagnosed in 1998, had symptoms for a few years before that. I grew up in NI, Co. Down. Moved to the US when I was 18 years old, and have been here ever since. I have 2 first cuz who have Crohns dx. I have had tried many meds, too many to list. Currently on Asacol at the highest dose they can give me. I am addicted to chocolate, very very sad... chocolate dosen't like me so much. I try to exercise every day, i feel alot better when I do. I have great support from my fiancie. My mom and dad live in NI, with my brothers and sister. I just can't make them understand that I can't eat alot of the same stuff that they do. (just coz its good food, dosen't mean its good for me). I try to have a positive attitude, although we all know thats not always easy. If I fart, i own it and laugh. I went though nursing school with Crohns, worked for a few years in an ICU. Moved to be with fiancie and now work as a school nurse. Not quiet as exciting, but the schedule suites me alot better.
Im glad to have found this site, even though i have great support. No one knows what crohns is like unless you have it yourself.
Ok going to go smell a chocolate bar, and wish i was eating it...... LOL
