elfgivas Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: i have colitis, and have friends with crohns. its a journey. one of my friends was diagnosed with crohns as a pre-teen, and he is now in his 50s with a great job, a nice house, a wife and two children :). ie. you are right; there are worse things to have. it can still be pretty hair-raising at times. he will learn to know his body better than most people ever do, and how to help it manage itself as best it can. so will you. many hugs, ann eta: the folks i know who manage things pretty well are the ones who are really good at research, who can sort good info from the other kind, and who form a partnership with their doctors. we also have a good support/education network with others who share our journey.

IsabelC Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 It's always tough to receive a diagnosis of any kind, but with Crohn's even though it isn't "curable" is treatable to some extent, so it's great that you and your son now know exactly what the problem is and can take steps to alleviate it.
