Crohn's kicks my butt
I have had Crohn's all of my life, but was not diagnosed officially until two years ago.
Before I was diagnosed, I couldn’t even walk without stomach pains forcing me to stop. I stopped eating, and I stopped drinking. Because it was better than dealing with the stomach pain.
Of course the steroids helped, but I didn’t feel like myself anymore. I would look in the mirror and see someone completely different
Crohn's kicks your butt, but it makes you such a stronger person.
Today I can sit here and say I have grown and learned so much from this disease.
