    Got My Test Results Back...

    My doctor called and said that my tests revealed that I do have Crohn's Disease. I have an appointment with him on the 8th to discuss this diagnoses.

    Just wanted to keep you all updated. Thanks so much for you support and prayers.

    I'm so sorry to hear that. I don't know anything about Crohn's, but I hope that it is controllable. Sending you a {{hug}}.

    I'm so sorry about the bad news, although I don't know much about Crohn's at all, so I don't know how bad it is. All I know is that the diagnose was not the best, and I'll keep you in my thoughts. Get well soon, and I hope whatever it is can be treated well. Good luck! I sent you a PM.

    Here's a good explanation of Crohn's disease from the National Institute of Health -

    Bless your heart. At least you know what it is and can start treating it. Hopefully you can get some info with your visit with the doc. Be sure to ask him about the vitamins. They are called Rainbow Life. I'm not sure what vitamins you will be allowed to take, so double check with your doc on this. I sure hope that you can get some sort of relief from treatment, diet etc. We are all here for you and love you lots!
    **hugs**

    At least you know what it is and can start proper treatment now. Hopefully it will be able to be controlled with drugs without the need for surgery.

    Sounds like this doctor is sooo much better than the last one. I'm glad you finally got a doctor that is easier to work with too. Now maybe you can get everything under control and get on with your life - and the lives of all 7 of your sweeties.

    Good luck with your next appt. and please keep us updated.

    Like as already been said, not great news, but at least you know what you are dealingwith. My Aunt (Dad's younger sis) also has Chron's disease. It is under control for the most part, but she has flares up every now and then. Not fun. You're in our thoughts.
