Newly Diagonised. Need Advice Posted: 05-05-06 13:16pm
Hi
i am having crohn's and taking asacol 2*3
per day
doctor said on scale of 1-10 I am like 4
how much was yours when diagonised. He
said its not very bad.
Do you think after the 3 month treatment I
will go in remission for long time.
What was your experience.
Will this be lifelong. I am very scared
and angry right now. I don't want to have
such a life. I have a baby and I am not
able to take proper care of her.
Is there anyone you know that after first
treatment didn't have any flare-ups for
years.
Thank you

Hey there,
myself I was never as lucky as to have
long bouts of remission, but I was
diagnosed very young, and had a very bad
case. But please do not fret, you can go
into remission with proper care and
healthy diet, and I know of many cases
that have had one flare up, and have felt
well there after. I understand the anger,
but try to think positive the mind is a
powerful tool.....I wish you the best of
luck, and feel free to email me if you
need to talk.....Mystic

You're Not Alone... Posted: 02-03-07 00:52am
Hey. I myself was just diagnosed with
chron's disease yesterday. Where 1=urgent
and 5=not urgent, i'm a 2. I get your
anger and frustration, i'm 17 years old
and have had to put my life on hold. I
had to temporarily drop out of school so I
won't be graduating with my friends, and
am now behind on my education. Also, I
had to go on sick leave from work, with
bills and rent to pay(i live on my own).
It took them 9 months to diagnose me, and
I also have a hiatal hernia. My being
constantly in pain and irritable put
strain on my nearly 2 year serious
relationship with my boyfriend, and we've
broken up, with the possibility of an
eventual reunion. I'm glad i'm finally
diagnosed, but at the same time I feel
alone and frustrated. I can't do anything
and spend 6/7 days isolated. But once you
hit bottom, you can only go up, right? So
hang in there and if you want to add me,
my e-mail/msn is clumsy_every1sajunkie@hotmail.Com. Take care
