Support for Chrohn's?

Hello Everyone,

I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in April, after 5 months of stubbornly refusing a doctor's visit while suffering various symptons. My recovery was steady, and I was functioning very well when I had another flare up a few weeks ago. It brought to the surface many emotions I had been pretending did not exist, and now I am ready to grieve, accept, acknowledge the multitude of things that I think and feel about this disease. I believe one of the first steps is acquiring knowledge and a community of people who have or are there (I am already blessed with an amazing family and community).

Is this board a good resource? Are there other good online communities -- websites, boards, etc? Good books?

I appreciate your help.

Welcome, glad you are searching for some support! I feel that support by others that have similar issues is so helpful because who can understand better than another person going through the same pain and problems?


You are welcome to visit here anytime, but I did find another iVillage support board that might be more specific for you...http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-bhcrohns
