Hi, my name is Deana and I was diagnosed with severe Crohns in November of 2011. I had had stomach problems all my life but was not diagnosed. Anyway I was having severe stomach pains and thought I had a blockage, although I had never heard of Crohns before, so finally went to the hospital where I found out I had to have 5 bypasses on my heart so the Crohns was set aside due to the heart problems. After I had the bypasses my medi-cal decided I had to have an 808 dollar share of cost so consequently I could not follow up on my Crohns or heart for we live on a fixed income. I am wondering if any of you have treated your Crohns at home and what I might be able to do at home to relieve these symptoms. Nausea is the worst. Day and night no matter what I eat. Also if any of you live in California have you been able to get disability for Crohns or some kind of medical help that wouldn't cost much. I tell you I am ready to give up. Any advice would be so appreciated. Thank you. By the way I am 56 and my husband is retired.
