Hi, my name is Igor. I am ukranian and was diagnosed with crohn's disease 2 1/2 years ago, as well as acid reflux. I started out with mild-moderate disease and did not take care of myself very well the first time i went into remission, mostly from denial and rage that i had this illness. The disease responded by coming back about a year ago and spreading a little bit and becoming moderate-severe and i am currently trying to juggle the fight against crohn's, college, and work. Sometimes the illness is very depressing being down is almost as bad as the pain associated with crohn's. Im glad i found this forum where i can talk about the disease and learn about it better
