So this is a question I have never asked anyone.. maybe I don't want to know but I am asking. So how long do we live on average with this disease?
Ha, that is my theory and I am sticking to it! We should have the fun, like you say let them find their own way, like we did!:wink:I plan to live long enough to spend my kids inheritance. Lol They can save their own money.
I'm not sure how to deal with this. Do you guys think improvements in treatment or even a cure are coming so I don't need to even think about this kind of stuff?However, Kaplan–Meier analysis of age at death of these patients shows that patients diagnosed under 20 years have a median age at death of 64 years (inter-quartile range 59–70 years), whilst those patients diagnosed over the age of 20 years do not experience reduced life expectancy.
I'm personally planning for a HOVER scooter.I don't know about you guys but I'm sure as hell living until I'm old enough to need one of those electric scooters! Some old guys really get those things moving!
t life expectancy for a male with Crohns drops to 64.9 years... now, whether that is 64 years 9 months, or 64 years plus 9 tenths of a year I dunno.
I'm too late.:frown: No Hoover for me! I already have a jazzy chair and I don't think they would let me trade it in any more. :yfrown: (I had a stroke several years ago and am now mostly recovered.)I'm personally planning for a HOVER scooter.
:headbang:
My husband was close to gone, too, but recovered well after surgery. He prob. had crohn's for 15 to 20 years prior.I almost died in May when i was diagnosed, but it was b/c i was living with "undiagnosed" Crohns. Team of docs said few more hours n it was bye bye me. B/c of that episode, i didnt wake up for 10 days. Could've been the meds tho, I'm not sure. However, still here today to go thru more n more tests and se my GIRLS! Hugs to all......
