I was diagnosed in 2009. Never heard of Crohn's and to be honest, I didn't take it seriously.

Please don't ever make that mistake!

I didn't take proper care of myself, didn't see my doctor, didn't take my medication. One day, I was in such pain that I could hardly stand up. My daughter took me to the ER, I was admitted and had to have surgery.That was my wake up call. I never miss my medication or a checkup now.

I hope to meet others here that can lean on me and I can do the same. Good or bad days, we need each other.
