Hey everyone
Nice to find a group of people that suffer from the same disease as some of my family and maybe one day, me.
I'm 15 years old, I don't have Crohn's Disease, but my dad was diagnosed with it at 18. He's had a very bad flare-ups in the past - the last one, 7/8 years ago,resulted in him having septicenmia. He was lucky to survive the 24hours doctors said he had left to live, he then had 2bags on either side of his stomach for his bowl to recover. Luckily he's fine now, but no doubt his next flare-up will come soon. My antie was diagnosed 9years ago, but she only last week had her first operation for Crohn's disease. As it runs in my family (either Crohns or irretable bowl) I know I'll be having either one soon, I'm learning as much as I can so I can be prepared for when it does =]
So yeah, nice to meet you all and, get chattin' soon?
