Interesting. I was dx with Crohn's in 2003 and endometriosis in 2006.

I've had CD for 20 yrs (in a constant flare the entire time) and have never had an enometriosis issues to date...lucky I guess.

I was just d/x'd with endometriosis several months ago. 2 years after my Crohn's diagnosis. I've always had difficult periods though, so I think I may have had it longer than my CD. Regardless, it still sucks.

I am 31yrs old and I was diagnosed with Endorsement in 2001 and CD 8/11, symptoms of CD since 2003. I havent had any verification from a doc that they're linked, but then again I haven't found a doc that I feel truly cares or frankly is worth a darn. This is interesting, though. I believe I will look into it further.

I had endometriosis about 7 years ago and had surgery to remove it (laporoscopy) no problems with it since....my Crohn's was only DX last June and my Crohn's symptoms only began just over a year ago,Slainte

When I was dx w endo in '01 I had a laparoscopy and another in '03. I finally ended up having a full hysterectomy in '08. I didn't know that I had CD, so I thought that resolve my issues. Nevertheless it didn't and I am sicker than ever now. I sure hope the docs get a better handle on this disease and learn more about it's causes, what it's linked to and better treatments. I so hope we get closer to a cure so we don't have to continue to suffer. I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say, "I want my life back! " yeah
