Ah, ok
I'm sorry you have such a shit time with it, I'm sure when I studied it at uni I read that it could be managed fairly well :(

I donno the technical details, don't really want to know.
But it effects different people differently, it's quite rare you'll find two people with the same story on it.

I'm on some stuff called Inflixinab at the moment, and I'm currently the best I've ever been.

I had a schoolmate
...who suffered from Chron's.

Nasty, nasty conditon, he'd be off school for months on end until he had a section of bowel removed which improved his condition considerably.

After the op, he reputedly asked the doc if he could keep the length of intenstine along with his stitches as a souvenir.

Oh my, no thanks. I gave my bits away to SCIENCE.
I've had two lots of around 10" taken out.

Ow!
I'm really sorry to read that Gonz.

You have my sympathies, my friend had a really rough time with Chron's.

How are you getting by since the ops though?

I have my ups'n'downs, but at the moment I'm the best I've ever been =)
This inflixinab stuff is great, I have it every 2 months, and in the week or two leading up to it, I'm knackered, and the week after I'm also knackered (it wipes out the imume system, and can be quite nasty if it doesn't work right), but three bad weeks a month and having the rest of the time good, is good enough for me =)
