My name is Ken. I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease about 4 and 1/2 years ago. I've had to quit my job, get on disability, and have spent weeks of my life in and out of the hospital and doctor's appointments. I can't go anywhere during the first half of my day due to my bathroom trips. And flare up still happen although I'm on a regimen of medications that seem to be helping me a little bit. I've had to have one fistulotomy surgery at the beginning so far not another one yet. It definitely has changed my entire life I can't do anything I used to do. It's so isolating.
