Crohns is awful
Posted: Feb 22, 2010

 I have had every test imaginable and they always told me I had IBS - well, after a CT Scan last week and a colonoscopy today, I have finally been given the diagnosis of Crohns (which I have said I had for over 20 years).  Now, I get to get on medications (yeah) finally.  My life has revolved around my bathroom and my house.  I am a prisoner in my own home.  Cant go out to eat, shop, etc. 

We live 25 miles between towns in South Dakota so I dont go outside of my hometown as there are no facilities along the way, except for the cattle ranches - sure they wouldnt mind, but its cold.
