Good afternoon everybody. I'm new to this site and new to Crohn's Disease. My name is Brandy and I'm a mother of 3 boys and I'm married to a wonderful man who has been by my side for 18 years. I was diagnosed with Crohn's back in March of this year. So everything has been turned upside down for me and my family with this disease to the point of many many hospital trips and many many pain meds with nothing working. I just got released from the hospital on Saturday after a week long stay which that was my second hospital stay since March. I've seen people saying that they have service dogs for this and I was wondering how does that work? I've got so many questions and my husband and I have done so much research on this disease that its totally overwhelming. I mean there are so many meds foods and things in general that says they do good then I try them and in the hospital I go. I can't keep going to the hospital and staying not with having 3 boys under the age of 10 years old. I've thought about giving up so many times but then think about my boys and know I have to keep fighting. I guess I'm just looking for somebody to talk to who knows what I'm going through. My husband is my biggest supporter but he doesn't know how I feel or what I'm going through even though bless his heart he does try to understand. So any advice helpful tips some resources anything will be great! Thanks!
