Hi everybody, although I have had Crohn's diagnosed in 1996 following an emergency resection I have never been on any medication and have since managed to control symptoms by controlling what I eat and by now I know what does and does not agree with me. I do have what I suppose are flare-ups where I get pain, lethargy, cramping, for about 24 hours, which then goes away again.
Is there anybody else here who has never been on any medication and has managed to "stay off the radar", so to speak, of the medical profession? I am now 64 and feel generally well and have normal energy levels. As a matter of fact, I am a lot fitter than some people of my age. There are things I cannot eat, fresh milk and cream etc. are a total no-no, but that seems a small price to pay for being medication-free.
I would be really interested to hear from anyone in a similar situation.
