My names Trevor, I'm 27 from the uk and I've been a crohns sufferer since I was 13, it's been an uphill struggle really, luckily I was diagnosed early so I had verious medications one of which was rank lol. Moduline ibd it was called. I came off that cos it was just disgusting, I'm a gym instructor recently qualified, obviously I want the image to go with the job as I will eventually progress to PT. Recently my consultant took me off my every 6 week infusion which was wonderful it was keeping me healthy and on track and I even put on weight because I had such a good appetite, so u can imagine coming off it was a risk that had to be taken cos I can't be on meds for the rest of my life, at this point I was the heaviest I'd ever weighed at 13 st 5. And I was starting to shape up and become a lot healthier, so coming off it within a month I lost a stone and went in to relapse so u can imagine my frustration, saw my consultant again and he's putting me back on the infusions ( involving a drip of a kind and needles, not a fan but got used to them) so hopefully I will get better soon put the weight back on and my career can kick start, an old form tutor of mine back at secondary school had crohns and he was in remission for years and still is I think, I wonder what his secret is, but it's different in individuals cases, what works for one patient may not necessarily work for another, thanks for sharing your stories I hope u get alit out of mine
