Hi everybody! i'm new here and i've been struggling with crohn's disease for 5 years. I have recently had surgery in August of this year and already having flare ups 3 months later. I have no support from my family. They could care less about me and i get blamed for being sick all the time. I can't talk to anybody because they tell me to shut up and they don't want to hear about it. I feel so alone :( I heard about this forum from a girl i met online and she told me that i could get support on here. I need a friend who knows what i am going through. I think i finally found a group where i can belong cause i don't belong anywhere else. well thanks for listening and hopefully i can find someone on here that will relate to me.
 
I'm so sorry that you are not receiving the support you require from friends and family!
I'm also sorry your surgery didn't give you a longer period of remission. sounds like you're going through the wringer.

The people on here are fantastic you will most definitely find comfort in this community!

Sending warm thoughts your way. On here your never really alone!
 
Hi there, sorry to hear that you are having such a rough time with this wretched disease I also have Crohns and have had for 25 years so I know what you are going through. I am currently on a waiting list to have my 1st surgery, they are going to do a small bowel resection, I am a little bit nervous but would just like it over and done with. You will find lots of support on this forum as we are all on the same page and experience the same problems. I hope things improve for you soon, and when you're feeling down always come on here as there is always someone to listen. Love Theresa. xoxo

Hi and welcome to the forum!!! :welcome: Sorry to hear all you've been through lately. There are many on here who you can talk with. We have all kinds of places on here also that could be helpful to you. What kind of medications are you on right now? We have a section on here for treatments, surgery, support and a few others. Best thing I can suggest is to take a look around! Please let me know if you have any questions and I can assure you that you are not alone! :hug:
