Crohn's for 60 years

Hi All
I haven't been on the Forums since I retired 2+years ago. My short story Crohn's for app 60 years. Have tried almost every type drug. 3 Surgeries and one more coming. Will offer any advice I can?

Hi. Nice to meet you. Holy Cow! 60 years. Sorry to hear you need another surgery. Please let us know how things go with that.

Hello Chuck and welcome to the forum :)

Wow! With 60years of living with this disease I am sure you will have a lot of insight to give here. I was also wondering if the upcoming op is a resection? Are you on any meds currently?

Wow. I would like to hear more of your story Chuck! Knowing that someone has had this for 60 years is humbling. Sometimes I get down thinking about having to live with this disease for the rest of my life...even after 10 years. I hope you are in good spirits after dealing with this for 60 chuck. I can't begin to imagine. Good luck with your surgery, hopefully you can avoid it if possible!
 
Look forward to your experiences being shared. Prayers with you and welcome Chuck. Glad you have decided to join our community. Muah- hugs-
