and all,

Just saw Janey from the back, she was just walking between Jackie and Joe, with Joe taking the rear.

Thanks for the good wishes guys, I'm got a recurrance of the Crohn's disease I had in my 20's. It's affecting my bones now, esp my back, thoracic area and arms.

Just saw your post. Sorry to hear about it. I have a s-i-l that suffers from the same. I will keep you in my prayers.

OK, I won't start a prayer thread, but all of us reading will Pray and YOU should start feeling better soon!

Oh hergus I really feel for you. My daughter had Crohns at 15 and she was 87 pounds before they did surgery. She got completely better but after a baby and five years, she got it back and had to have a second surgery. Since then she's had another baby and has been well for years. In fact she could lose a bit of weight now. She is taking something to prevent a recurrence tho. Not sure what it is. Are you taking anything to prevent a recurrence? It's a terrible disease, so painful. I hope you get better soon. She has lost 20 cm of her small bowel or ileum. That's where you absorb all your nutrients from. The only left over effect she had was some thinning of her hair from lack of nutrients.
