I am 37 years old and have had Crohn's Disease since I was eight years old. This blog is meant to encourage and inform and not be a place for pity parties. I have mentored a number of people both young and old as they deal with their diagnosis and all that comes with it and thought a blog might be a way to share what I have learned over the past 29 years with Crohn's Disease.

Lessons learned two years down the road...
When I got pregnant with Wylie back in 2011 it came after a year of wicked flare brought on by a stupid GI doc that decided that I should come off ALL of my meds and go on steroids before trying to get pregnant. Who knew that was the worst possible thing to do? I certainly didn't, and I trusted my doctor. I went in to what I thought was the flare of a decade that resulted in pain, tests, hospitalizations, etc. The fact that we even got pregnant with all of that going on in my body is amazing.
