Hi, my name is Igor. I am ukranian and was diagnosed with crohn's disease 2 1/2 years ago, as well as acid reflux. I started out with mild-moderate disease and did not take care of myself very well the first time i went into remission, mostly from denial and rage that i had this illness. The disease responded by coming back about a year ago and spreading a little bit and becoming moderate-severe and i am currently trying to juggle the fight against crohn's, college, and work. Sometimes the illness is very depressing being down is almost as bad as the pain associated with crohn's. Im glad i found this forum where i can talk about the disease and learn about it better

Welcome Igor. You will find alot of info and support on this board. My teen has this disease and it has been difficult to deal with. However, there is a way towards remission. Ask for help and the people with knowledge will point you in the right direction. Don't give up! You are not alone!

:welcome: Igor!! I believe you are the first person that I have seen that has posted from Ukraine - very cool!! That is one of my favorite things about this forum - that you get to meet people from all over the planet.

Well buddy - you are not alone - we all understand about this lovely disease. I wish you luck in juggling all that you have going on at the moment and trying to get your disease back under control. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Welcome! The depression seems to go hand-in-hand with Crohns. Good news is you just found a whole lot of people that share what you are going through.
