Hello everyone,

Ive never registered for somethinglike this but I am hoping that it helps me. About a year ago I was diagnosed with Crohns/colitis. I am 28 years old and I am having a really hard time dealing with the disease and the flare ups. I was wondering if there was a support group that we could attend or maybe even create. I live in the halifax area and would love to just get some feedback or here peoples stories and the ways in which they deal with crohns and the horrible flare ups that accompany the disease. Its only been a year since the diagnosis however I would like to learn as much from the people that have the disease and the ways they combat the problem. I hope you can help.

Thank you so much for your time.

Saveena

Hi Saveena,
Plenty of stories and support here...
I guess you've come to the right place!

Sorry you've been having a hard time, but perhaps it might be more worrisome if you were not struggling with all this!

Welcome aboard, we're glad to have you.

Hi Saveena,
Are you a member of NACC? (new working name is Crohn's and Colitis UK) Check out their website, they list all the available groups according to areas. I know that we down in S Wales have meeting's every month, we also organise quarterly patient info evening's at local hospitals. In the meantime, this is a great place for support and an endless amount of info.
Welcome aboard! x

Hi Saveena and Welcome!

You've come to the right place for support and advice!

Is your diagnosis Crohn's or Crohn's Colitis or Ulcerative Colitis?

Are you taking any meds to make you feel better and control the disease?

Hope you are feeling okay - enjoy poking around the forum and meeting everyone!
