Venting

[PatrickC]

Sorry everyone, but I just need to vent. I was diagnosed with Crohn's in my twenties. Went through hell for all of college, as well as after I graduated, and finally had a re-section (and half my bladder removed) the year before I got married. I'd been living med free for nineteen years, and this past spring had a mild flare up and was put on meds (Lialda & Budesonide).

I just need to say that I hate this disease. I'm not letting it get the best of me, but waking up & feeling like hell sucks.

Thanks and enjoy your day.

Sorry to hear you're flaring again, PatrickC I'm with you on hating this disease. Are you going to be switching meds if things aren't under control?

Hope you're back in remission soon

Sorry to hear PatrickC. Hope you get back to remission fast.

Yea man, I can sympathize. It's the kind of disease that makes it really hard to put your mind on anything else. The constant pain and worrying those first 2 years for me caused some anxiety issues I've since overcome. One of the biggest things I've learned is how important sleep is for your mental well-being, oh and venting helps a heck of a lot too
