Does anyone have Crohns? I've had it for 6 years now and having a very bad flare at the moment and just wondering if anyone else suffers so we can have a chat,

Hi I have Crohn's, have had it for nearly 20 years but was only diagnosed properly 3 years ago. I'm currently recovering from my first surgery - I had a resection at the end of Feb & they removed 30cm of small & large bowel combined. I'm now waiting for the results of a colonoscopy to see if I'm in remission for the first time in 3 years.

Are you on any medication for your flare? Hope you feel better soon Flowers

Hi, another crohnie here! Diagnosed 15 years ago and just recovering from my first flare in that time, so really lucky. Have you been on the Crohns and Colitus UK Facebook group. It's great. fantastic support. Grin

Hi, yet another Crohnie here as well. I was diagnosed over 15 years ago, not had any surgery for it, but I did have a bad flare last year.

It's the pain ms cramping getting to me I've been in hospital twice this week for pain relieve. Dreading phoning on work sick again tomorrow and I don't get sick pay so even worst.
