Truthfully, Crohn's SUCKS.

Especially when there's only one sheet of toilet paper left..

Your on a road-trip with your family in the middle of nowhere and you need to do a poo/wee LIKE NOW..

Other people who actually whinge about their healthy lives to you and expect you to listen and give positive feedback..

Telling other people about your problem when it is necessary to do so and watch them laugh at you..

When you see your specialist/s and they/he/her speak to you as if emotionally you can handle everything all at once when really, you just want to break down and cry..

I MEAN REALLY! These are things i just came up with at the top of my head! There really is more im sure!

Emotionally AND physically we try and cope.

Then all of a sudden, life seems further from enjoying then usual.

I will be positive.. but i will always hate the word CHRONIC.

Always.

Anymore stories of werid sufferings? I do try to laugh about it all.. Reading this thread of my life is so ridiculous that really, all you can do is laugh!

hahahah... oh... indeed.

i was feeling a little adventurous last night and ordered some chinese....

and darned if it didn't come out looking the same as when it went in... bean sprouts, onions, and all...

sorry if that was TMI... it just makes me giggle when i look in the bowl and think, 'wow, what kind of messed up game show could i host... "what was for dinner last night?"'.

Hello Fantasia and welcome to the Crohn's Forum.
I so much enjoy your tongue in cheek humor!

Honestly, when you think about the problems we Crohnies have,
sometimes it really is best to laugh.

I hope we see you around here often, and please
feel free to roam the halls, read and throw in your views
ask questions...or just vent if you like.

Once again...Welcome!
Nancy

going to the bathroom at starbucks, almost to the potty and BAM all in my pants. sitting on the toilet with messed jeans, undies, even spilling onto the floor and trying to figure out how to get out of there without embarrasement.
cell phone rings. who is it but my GI whom id been trying to reach for 2 days! at 9 pm at night!

so badly wanted to pick up and let him have a piece of my mind!

We've all had our stories. Mine was an accident at the airport terminal (a fart that wasn't a fart) and having to board a plane "commando" because I had to ditch my boxers in the public restroom.

But this is a great community for sharing stories - finding support from those who are going through the same thing and understand how tough this disease can be.

oh man, on the start of a 3 hour trip home, we stopped at a tim hortons and I had a small hot chocolate. within 10 minutes we had to pull over for me to vomit my guts out on the side of the road. [bad hot chocolate, i'm guessing]. By the time we got to a gas station I was desperate to go, and apparently they were about to close.

I also have this inconvenient shy bowels problem i inherited from my mother... can't poop if i think someone's watching/listening... So I sat there trying to poop for about a half hour probably, because i didn't know when the next bathroom would be. My boyfriend kept telling me me that the attendant was trying to leave....

so I finally gave up and of course there the weirdo attendant was pacing right outside the door! no wonder i couldn't poop!

we made it to the next gas station and then i was fine... lol.

First off...welcome to the forum & trust me luv, we can ALL relate to you!

Here is a good story for you, last Thurs I was out with my girls sharing a few drinks & laughs. One of the girls drank a tad too much & asked me to take her to get some more smokes. So I drove her across the street to grab a pack. On the way back she says, "Uh oh! I think I just peed a little bit." She sure enough did, & it was more than a little bit all over my seat!!!!!! I look at her & say, "I'm the one who's having trouble trying not to shit my pants on a daily basis & you have the nerve to piss in my car?!?!?"

Gotta love your girls! LOL
