Hey everyone, just joined the group so i guess i better introduce
myself. Im Michael or most people call me Mikee im 25 from London. I
was diagnosed with Crohns late last year. These past nine months or so
have just been crazy. I have had a three week stay in hospital (Having
every test that is probably possible to give a human) before being
diagnosed with crohns and two operations in the space of two months. If
anything good has come out of these few months I guess it's the fact
that at least this experience has cured me of my fear of hospitals, and
its definitely cured me of my fear of needles and blood tests. man I
have had so many blood tests there cant be much blood left in me.
