Hi Everyone - I'm new to this forum. I was diagnosed with Crohn's in 2012. It began with intermittent abdominal cramps, then an increased urge to urinate and frequent bowel movements. Ended up in ER wherein I underwent several CT scans, colonoscopies, X-Rays and then developed gastroparises which had me making weekly trips to the ER and being admitted for IV therapy and TPN for days at a time for my inability to eat (this lasted for approximately 4-5 months). I'm now in remission for approximately 1 year - thank GOD! Does anyone know how long remission lasts (from your experience only)? What has been your experience with remission duration and time to flare-up? Does anyone have any specific signs (besides diarrhea) of an approaching flare-up (i.e, non gastro related symptoms)? Just interested in hearing YOUR experience. Thanks!:ghug:
