Hi lilgeniexol! Welcome to Healing Well! I edited your post only to add a subject line to your thread. Readers then have an idea what the thread is about
.
One of the best things to do is to get educated about
Crohn's disease by reading about
it. Healing Well has a Crohn's Resource Center to help you. The CCFA also has good information on a variety of subjects related to Crohn's including the emotional aspects, living with a chronic disease, finding a support group etc.
I am somewhat older than you and knew for over 25 years I had more than a "spastic colon" that so many docs had diagnosed before. I was not the least bit surprised to learn I had CD, in fact I was pleased to have a name for my problems. I started Humira 2 months ago after being on Remicade for almost 3 years. My gut continues to be in remission for which I am very thankful. I am no longer dealing with the constant diarrhea, the pain, the dietary restrictions, etc.
