Thread: Crohn's Disease

So I havnt see any threads on here with anyone who has some form of IBD, Crohn's Disease or Colitis. I have Crohn's Disease and it SUCKS. I'll talk to most of you later on I had plans to go camping over the weekend but there are flood warnings near river beds and streams. Nothing major but just enough to cause an interruption in weekend plans..Thunderstorms rolling through..at least I have my heating pad, blankey and hot green tea to keep me company..Anyone who suffers from this disease let's all discuss how we combat it and learn to deal with it day to day. I'd like to share what I do too.

I think I have a form of Krohns but am not thrilled about going to the doctor to find out. I had inflamed intestines starting when I was 6 months pregnant with my first child. The second time wasnt until about 6 months later and then it got more regular. About every three months I would get it and it would last for 3 days. I have always done what the doctor told me to do that first time which is take tylenol and drink lots of water. Try to relax if you can. 4 years now. Now in the last month and a half, I have gone off birth control and am having similar but lessened pain after my husband and I have sex. I think that part of it must be my body getting back to normal but I am not sure. Does the rest of it sound similar to what you have?
