Alpha, could you tell us a little more about yourself so we know who you are and where you're coming from?

Welcome to the forums,

Ivy.

... And what sort of advice are you intending to offer the people here, alpha? Have you gone through any special or unusual experiences as a Crohn's patient? How long have you been sick?

Alpha, if you go to the Crohn's forum's front page you'll see a list of things in the "topic" column.

Each of these things is a question posted by a member. Simply click on any topic you're interested in - you'll find that most of these are questions written by people wanting help or advice - and write your answer if you have one. You're more likely to get responses that way: simply posting and saying "ask a question and I'll answer it" is not the customary way of getting responses here :-)

So sorry about the women's refuge.

Ivy.

Hi Welcome to Healing Well .I see you had your colostomy reversed and glad to hear you are doing better.So what's going on with your foot ,is it arthritis? There are some people here that do have young children that have crohn's .Some around 15 years of age. Are you getting any therapy for your foot or are you taking meds? How do you feel being so young and having crohn's? lol gail
