I could have died from it last year. I had a bowel obstruction and had to have emergency surgery and was in the hospital for 10 days. I have met a lot of people who have it now, but when I was first diagnosed, I didn’t know anyone else with it. Now I found out that my aunt has a disease that is very similar to Crohn’s and some of my other relatives have symptoms too. There is a support NG for it called alt.support.crohns-colitis. Jennifer

snip In this context, I really don’t mind this, but my boyfriend’s insensitive father sent this to me via email a few months ago and I was fuming. He doesn’t want to think that I have mental problems and associates my depression to my Crohn’s disease. He also refuses to see that his wife and daughter have mental problems. It really hurt me that he sent that to me. It’s difficult for me to laugh at this because I know so many people who are suffering from any one of a number of those problems, and they just can’t laugh at it all right now. I can laugh at myself sometimes, but lately it’s very hard to do. Sorry to be such a downer. I wish I could get better. Jennifer
