So many memories stirred by all of you. I began my journey 55 years ago, I was 15. My life of Crohn,s has been eventful. I joined the group because my experiences go back to times in medicine of "We don,t know what causes...." The answer is still the same for many of us. My answer is "You may not know the cause, but I need to know how to cope." It is my hope to encouage and be encouraged.
