Wish there was a live chat

It's often comforting to chat with people that have the same condition. Even if its not about the disease, but just everyday life. It's just feels great to be in that kind of company that knows what you're going through.

Does anyone know of any chatrooms for IBD sufferers? I've only found a few for people with ostomies, and they are friendly too though.

Yes we do and welcome to the forum. Here is the link http://gabbly.com/http://www.crohnsforum.com/

but for some reason no one ever goes in there. Check it out.

the link isnt working.

I imagine there are incredible amounts of people that would love a chat. I jus think no one has made the effort to start one and manage it. im sure there would be 100s of ppl that would love to have a nice casual chat room with similar ppl.

I prefer aol instant messenger myself. I don't always leave facebook up but my AIM is always running.

AIM = jennMwdragon

Edit: If anything ever gets up and running and you need someone to host a chat or something, I'm online daily and would gladly host some sort of chat room.

thanks Jenn.. i'm not sure what kind of chat set up we'll end up with, or whether it will need an online host or not - but we'll bear you in mind if needed

in the absence of a working instant chat room just now, we do have a Daily Chat thread, which members are welcome to use as either a general posting thread or instant chat if anyone online wants to reply back.. http://www.crohnsforum.com/showthread.php?t=9358&highlight=daily+chat

we also have an Adult Chat thread in the Zone, which is more suited to personal conversation.
