Hi Everyone,
I was diagnosed with crohns 10 years ago and I've only turned 26. I stumbled across this website and thought I'd share my story...
When I was diagnosed at 16 with crohns I thought the world would end!! Being a teenage girl dealing with the issues that every teenager goes though along with crohns!! I found it very difficult. Anyway I have been on everything from steroids, pentasa, imuran, questran, to name a few. Imuran kept me well for a while but not 100%, I always felt ill, always felt like i wasn't normal and it held me back a lot doing everyday things!
Anyway I went through a alternative medicine phase about 5 years ago, I tried chinese accupunture, I drank ungodly smelling seaweed broths, it didn't work. Then I tried a chiropractor. Within 3 months I was better than I'd ever been in years, off all medication. I hadn't had a flare up in nearly 5 years!
Now since then I've recently has a flare up, went back to my doctor he wanted me to go through all the medication again. Being the stubborn girl that I am, I also went to my chiropractor who swore to me he would have me better within a few weeks. I trusted him and low and behold I was with him on a Friday and by Sunday I felt better. I was going from cramps, bloating, diarrohea 8 times daily to no cramps, having my appetite back and diarrohea twice!! I'm going on a intensive course with him to get myself sorted again. My doctor cannot believe that I'm well and has postponed my scope! when I was in the hospital bed at 16 he told me that I was the worst case he's seen in a teenager, he told me whatever i'm doing....keep doing it.
I know it doesn't work for eveyone but it worked for me and my life has never been so perfect. Great full time job, getting married in December. I just wonder has anybody else tried Chiropractic as an alternative medicine? I'm sure it would work for others...
Thanks for listening,
Bosco
