My CROHN'S journey

Jul 18, 2016

By: Michele


I was diagnosed with CROHN'S at age 14. It changed my life forever. Thirty years later at age 44 I have been through it all. Test after test , drug after drug , tube feeding , TPN , many many hospital stays and way too many IV's. I had a bowel resection at age 17 which helped for 3 months and then it was back with a vengeance. After trying everything possible at age 29 I had a total proctocolecty was end ileostomy. I am a single Mom with 2 amazing daughters ages 22 and 18 and living every day one step at a time.
