Reply To: Is Crohn's Disease a real issue?

It is a genetic disease and to all those that say ” you just need family members when ur in a flare and ill be fine” or ” take meds ull be fine”…..u all should know I never complain but now I just want to prove a point…. I have crohns and which part of having surgery and in the ICU for a week plus injecting myself with meds is ” a no big deal” …if u don’t know anything about crohns plz don’t speak about it bec it can be soooo bad..but then again I thank hashem every day for giving me the zchus to fight crohns bec it made me so strong and made me appreciate life more then 99 out of 100 people…all I’m trying to say is that it shouldn’t effect shidduchim bec so what u strugle a few weeks a year in flares but hashem gave that to me as my nisoyan and I’m so greatfull for that….ill be entering shidduchim this summer I really hope that a girl can see that even though I might struggle with crohns but I have a lot of good in me that many don’t have bec they weren’t forced to appreciate the little stuff…..” I didn’t realize how strong I was until I was forced to know”
