Speaking of oringinal/past members.

I've seen a couple of posts regarding some past forum members that are no longer actively posting here. I can still remember two particular regulars here, (Nanners and Gachrons), that provided me with really incredible support years ago when my Daughter was first diagnosed, and I was just completely lost and desparate for help. If either of you are still lurking here, just wanted to let you know, you haven't been forgotton. Maybe some other oldies remember these two?

Hi Habs and 73Monte! Just was casually looking at saved sites on my IPhone and saw Healingwell, so thought I’d take a look. Kind of weird to see this post too. Kind of like I was supposed to see it.

I am on a few Crohns sites on Facebook now. I think that’s where most of us went. Getting ready to start my 46th year of living with Crohns. I’m on disability now. Crohns is in remission, but I have a large tangle of bowel and scar tissue that gives me quite a bit of grief. I have to battle keeping my bowels moving or I get what are called mechanical obstructions. I take stool softners nightly in order to keep things soft and easier to pass. I’ve always battled more constipation than diarrhea. But it seems to be getting harder as the years pass. I suffer with severe joint issues the most now. Severe osteoarthritis, Fibromyalgia and hellacious nerve pain. I had a mild stroke about 4 years ago and that brought the nerve pain.

Anyways, I hope your daughter is doing well 73Monte and hope you are doing well as well Habs! Hugs all! (New sign off)

I am going to have to check the FB sites! So wonderful to hear from you "Nanners".

Hey Nanners. Don't know if you remember me, but it's good to see you. I am sorry to hear about your health problems though. (I'm struggling too, with various issues.)

I wish this could become a community again. I'd post more regularly if it did >_>.

Hi Nanners,

Your, randynofuts, and nicecupoftea posts really helped me out when I was on here in 2007 when first diagnosed. I wish you the best. Thank you for being you

I deliberately don't use Facebook groups for IBD because then you have to give your identity (unless you make an account with a pseudonym i suppose). Also for privacy from my friends - most of them don't know i have colitis and I'm happy for it to stay that way. I like the anonymity of the web forum.

Wow talk about timing for all of us!
The Universe might be trying to tell us something!🤔

I haven’t been on here for years and just felt like taking a look tonight.

Hello to ALL and wishing everyone wellness and Happy days!😁

I am blown away to see all of you again. Sorry to hear of ongoing struggles, and keeping you in my prayers. How are you faring during social distancing? What I miss most is holding babies and reading to little children. Otherwise, staying home is not so bad since I am getting old and tired. I have moved to Pennsylvania and have wonderful neighbors.

Wow! This is a blast from the past. Good to see you all of you again!

just sayin' hey. i pop in once in a great while. at least we are still kicking right?

Hello Old Timers!

Not sure any of you remember me either but I sure remember a few of you!
Could not have made it through my original diagnosis without your prayers, concern, love and sometimes hillarious posts! Working on my 16th year of Crohn & yes, I can still drive a stick! LOL

I remember Nanners, Family Guy, General Colon Powell, Randynoguts (btw, did you ever find your watch?)
Family Guy & so many more! Bless all you warriors and I can't believe how this site has grown! I still recommend to all New crohnies!

I remember you Colon Bowel, glad you checked in & I hope you are doing ok.

I remember many of you, hope you are well.
