Well, I have been doing much better - crohn's wise. I watch my diet and stress - especially stress, as one of my docs said that was utmost important. I take liquid vit's , minerals and probiotics. Helps.
But naturally, other ugly things rear their heads. Started off the year with my mammogram, then needed a sono and now need an MRI. Crap. One breast is much larger than the other, and the lymph channels are swollen on that side of my body. WTH? Oh well, the things to deal with when you have female parts.
At least I got my nose straightened out - it was staph in my nose. Although I still can't breathe at night. I suspect a strange allergy.
I noticed a lot of people with crohn's have some sort of allergy or food allergy. Or psoriasis. or asthma. My friends with crohn's do. One has psoriatic arthritis - and that is awful. he has asthma too, and some allergies. Must be a connection. My immunologist agrees. All tied to the immune system not working properly.
I'm very lucky that I can work and my life hasn't been too compromised by all this. And I remember this every day and tell myself this. And then I send prayers and thoughts to all those whose lives aren't going as they hope.
