success stories
hi everyone,
i have been reading from this site for some time, finally decided to jump in!!
i was diagnosed with crohns in 1992, though my life was over but i struggled on as we all do, because we have to. after many years of pain and eventually unable to eat solids, weight at 6 stone, surgery in 2000, 2 days before my 30th birthday. i had about 12 inches of small bowel removed. i can say i have been in remission since then with maybe a flare once a year which is usually down to crap diet!! sometimes i get complacent and think i can eat anything i want...but i cant!! anyhow currently on no meds, b12 jabs 12 weekly. i control things with a good diet, peppermint tea and slippery elm, oh and ive quit smoking for a year. positive thinking is a winner with this illness, a good understanding and sharing others experiences can bring hope,dont fight against it embrace the challenge and win!! i think you are all great xx
