I'm 14 and I've had Crohn's disease since I was 6. I was extremely sick at first and had to stay at the hospital for 3 weeks. Then I got kidney stones, and a seizure after that. :( But luckily I've been in remission for the past 8 years! I never had a flare-up and I fell lucky, though every day I still fear getting a flare-up.
@Googleflax I understand you know. I was diagnosed when I was a kid too, at about age 11. I had surgery and things happened but I'm still here and fighting on. I just wanted to say don't fear it too much. I wish you well.
Love it. You have to have a sense of humor to live with chrohns. I have had it for 19 yrs and had ostemy surgery when i was 17 and refuse to not talk about it. After my surgery there was this unspoken kinda of it's a secret vibe and i had a big problem with that. Why should i or anybody be embarassed. The surgery put me in remission for 15 yrs. So i tell jokes and tell poop in a bag stories whenever i can. The stories that come out of this disease are hysterical. Poop is funny.
oh this was so cool,hes right that thru all the hardship of having this disease sometimes u just have to laugh about it.i'm 15 and i was diagnosed 1 1/2 yrs ago and it's been one hec of an experience. oh and hey i get a colonoscopy in a couple days,fun,haha
Awesome. I turned it into a joke - it's a light hearted way to make people understand what it is that you have when they do ask. You gotta laugh at yourself otherwise you'd be really angry.
this is great it helps me turn crohns into a funny thing im 11 and i was diagnosed with crohns in october 08 i think this will help me explain my illnes to some of my not so clever classmates lol
i have ulcertive colitis as a confirmed diagnosis but now they are reconsidering the crohns diagnosis because of my symptoms. Im 15 and i was diagnosed last year its a horrible thing to have but things like this make me feel better about what i go through. Keep doing what u do i hope to meet u one day and thank you in person.
You, sir, are a beautiful person, and I don't mean just physically. Your Crohn's video has given me new perspective in dealing with this disease. Thank you, thank you, thank you. God bless you richly.
I was 24 when diagnosed, I'm 58 now. I have an ileostomy with a outer bag. People think it's horrible but it's not. Sometime embarrasing when it leaks but it does beat the alternative. Thanks for the laugh this morning
I love this!

you have to learn to love the "scope".
remember all the best drugs are in the hospital. Don't be afraid to ask for them.
Doctors I find are the best dealers.
