After years of reading posts here at Healingwell I have  found that many of us have several conditions by your signatures.. I am just curious I guess to actually see how many there really are.

I know I have several different DX
I have Pyoderma Gangrenosum ( ulcer like sores from inside out very debiltating and painful..CD related)
Have Anxiety and Panic..Severe OCD
Going to another Rhemy for opinion but have been DX with Fibro

Great question Lynn

Take care

It might be a good idea to revise the survey and add Crohn's with depression (or other mood disorder?). Most of us suffer in that way too.

ivy6,
I would revise the survey if I knew how to without starting over. Depression and being sick all of the time go hand in hand. It just never occured to me to add that.

I also have chronic appendicitis and ecxema

most of my stuff is listed in my sig. for an explanation on oral allergy syndrome it is an autoimmune diseae where my body thinks I am ingesting pollen rather than that fruit or veggie. I only have true food allergies to tree nuts which I grew into 1sst was cashews (that was discovered pre-CD by appearance of hives around my mouth). then labwork Dx peanut allergies in me which I hadnt had before that was 06. If the fruits or veggies that I have issues with are cooked to the point that I can smush them with a spoon I wont get the anaphalactic reaction.

I have UC, or Crohn's in the rectum, still trying to figure it out... but I also have Fibromyalgia, some signs of Psoriatic Arthritis, Migraines, Eczema, um that's all I can remember right now and that's plenty.

I have CD, fibromyalgia, chronic pancreatitis and a helping of kidney stones. Plus I'm probably as nutty as a fruit cake.....
Posted 4/10/2008 2:44 AM (GMT 0)
Ivy, Crohn's, GERD, Depression
Posted 4/10/2008 3:06 AM (GMT 0)
I have Crohns (duh), significant GERD to the point where I might need surgery, suspected lactose intollerance and IBS but I blame both on crohns, mild situational anxiety (basically anywhere there is no bathroom...another duh) and an allergy to Red Dye number 40 and Strawberries.
Posted 4/10/2008 3:08 AM (GMT 0)
Myself?
CD & Osteoarthritis.. Also, Spinal issues related to number 2!

Matthew, don't you have all the kidney stones as well! Yikes that is a disease in and of itself!
Posted 4/10/2008 3:37 AM (GMT 0)
I have Crohns and severe asthma and allergies. They don't compare to some of the other ailments many of these board members deal with, but I do spend an enormous amt of time and money treating them and it affects my quality of life significantly to not be able to breathe.

My asthma is only under control when I'm on high doses of steroids for the Crohns.

Hmmm, CD, small intestine & deuodam (I know I didn't spell that right), stomach produces an overabundance of acid, mild depression, screwed up female hormones, ovarian cysts, benign breast cysts, psorasis, high cholestrol, bad dental, joint/connective tissue issues (jury still out) in my neck, shoulders (adhesions), hands, SI, ribs and knees, lactose intolerant, migraines, bad sinuses (actually born without one of my upper sinus cavities), possible TJM (jury still out on that too), benzene preservative sensitivity, can't tolerate wheat, gallstones, sensitive to a variety of perfumes and chlorine. Busted, broke and fed up! Oh yeah, and whatever they call inflammation in the ureters, I forget what they call it.
Posted 4/10/2008 5:10 AM (GMT 0)
Crohn's and chronic fatigue here. plus eye probs - but i forget the proper name for it.
Posted 4/10/2008 5:20 AM (GMT 0)
I have CD, Probable MS, arthritis, recurring esophagitis, migraines, hypertension, depression, and PTSD.
....but it could be worse!
Posted 4/10/2008 5:51 PM (GMT 0)
Well other than crohns I have allergies, asthma, hereditary spherocytosis (hemolytic anemia), iron deficient anemia, anxiety, ovarian cysts, polyarthralgia, exzema, migraines, gallbladder and spleen removed at age 6, tonsils and adenoids out at 21 for frequent throat infections and ongoing swollen glands, GERD, and I think and hope that is it.

ah well it all works out anyway.

CD is the cause of my kidneystones. they are not a seperate condition, merely ( MERELY? HA!) another complication..
