My Story

[Brenda Hankin]

I am 49 years old and was diagnosied with Chrons when I was 30. I have tried different meds over the years. I have had surgeries and procedures. I have one child and when I was pregnant my chrons never flared up. i try to stay positive and active. (As much as possible.) :sign0144:

Hi Brenda and welcome!

I'm sure with all your years experience with Crohns and different meds and surgeries, you will have a lot to add to the Forum!

we have a great support system here and lots of knowledgeable people. We like to vent and complain a lot but we also have a lot of fun and laughs. A positive attitude goes a long way!

Hi Brenda! What are you currently taking? I sure hope you are feeling good!

I am glad you had a flare-up free pregnancy; it's good to hear as I am a little nervous about getting pregnant and starting a family. May I ask how you felt during the postpartum period?

I'm quite pleased you found your way to out little forum and hope it provides you any support you need. And if you ever feel like you might be able to help others, there's plenty of people that could use exactly that.
