Just wanted to say HI!, I found the website yesterday and I've been reading since yesterday. I was diagnosed with CD last year and I've been in Humira for a year, I don't have it as bad as a lot of you guys in here but still I feel for you.

I don't think I even have CD, and NO I don't think I'm on denial, it just that I never get the pains that you guys get, I don't have constantly diarrhea, I could eat popcorn, steaks, no milk though, can't even smell it, :eek2: , the only reason my doctor thinks I have CD is because I had a pill endoscopy? and had a lot of ulcers somewhere in my intestinal track, this was done right after i had a fistula surgery and was taking a lot of pain killers, and different meds...

The only symptoms that I have is that almost every week I have this urge to go to the restroom and, I will go 5 and 6 times in a matter of a 1/2 hour, not diarrhea but pencil like stools and my behind get swollen and have to lay in bed for about an hour with an intense pain, I'm pretty tired I will say 90% of the time, but I don't know if it is because I'm becoming lazy :ybatty: other than that I'm pretty healthy...

Well that's pretty much it

Thank you for reading...

Welcome. :) Glad to hear your symptoms aren't as terrible as others -- it really shows how versatile this ugly disease can be.
