My journey with Crohn's

My journey started close to ten years ago now when I believed I had food poisoning but it when on for too long. I remember going back and forth to the hospital for antiemetics and pain killers and on my third visit I was transferred and admitted. A week later I finally had a diagnosis, not what I hoped. The 1st 4 years were up and down and I was hospitalized several times. Humira is my current treatment and has been for 6 years and while I still have some rough days but I'm doing much better. I have nausea most days and some pain. I also suffer from migraines and frequently live with a headache. I have learned to live life as full as I can exercising and trying to eat organic, gmo free, pesticides free, antibiotics free, steroids free. This has helped contribute to my remission.
