In short, upheavel of my life. My friends and family helped tons (and I'm fiercely independent) and I leaned on them. Chiefly I listened to my body, allowed myself to realise all the risk, gave myself some 'poor me' time, and basically got on with it. I tell everyone its all about mindset and the support net. I hope you are blessed with a support net that rivals or surpasses mine. Cancer patients live in fear of its return, I assume much like your situation with Crohn's. I really feel for you. You are in my thoughts....gregnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23640420.post-1152273080693221602006-07-07T07:51:00.000-04:002006-07-07T07:51:00.000-04:00Sorry to hear that the results of the ileoscopy was not good. I know how it feels to live on "borrowed time", so to speak - never knowing when illness will strike again. I had UC, now the UC is gone (and hopefully I don't have Crohns instead of UC), but I also have PSC (Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis). I feel for you, truly I do - but you are not alone and your thoughts are not crazy. Stay strong!Torildhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04324988573568120095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23640420.post-1152201436342381152006-07-06T11:57:00.000-04:002006-07-06T11:57:00.000-04:00Please check into low dose naltrexone for the treatment of Crohn's. It seems VERY promising. www.lowdosenaltrexone.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
