A personal Story about Crohn's Disease
I was about four and I remember going to the doctor because I did not feel like going to school with a sore stomach, the doctor looked me over and informed my mother in front of me
that I was quite ill......with imaginitis. I was treated this way for many years until my family moved to Australia and I began school.
In my first two days in year 8 I was in severe pain and as is normal for kids this age was diagnosed with appendicitis. It was removed and in the process they found the CD. Ever
since This I have been able to under stand the reasons for my vomiting and unwillingness to eat due to the pain. I now know that I was not a kid with a big imagination but a kid
with something very real and very painful.
It has now been 9 years and still I wish I could find that doctor and let him no just what he put me through. I have married and plan on having children but a recent development
has made my thinking in that direction change a little. My mother has now been diagnosed as well and this worries me that my children too will have this debilitating problem. I
could never knowingly give this to any-one after being a sufferer for so long. I am now in a flare up and my husband is just starting to learn what it is all about. I feel for him
and others like him because I can see the uncertain way in which we are treated during this time because they are so unsure of what will cause us pain and what won't. I know its
hard not to think of ourselves all the time but it does help to think of them for as long as you can.
