I am 29 yrs old and have suffered with UC and Crohns my whole life, being diganosed at thirteen. I got a total colecotomy at the age of 22, and 23. I got extremely ill, way more so than before they took my colon out. So if you are suffering or can offer advice, please do. I am at the end of my rope. I wape up everyday sick and in severe pain. I have severe adhesions on top of everyhting from the surgery ostomy site. So please contact me here or at lindseygurr@ymail.com. I would love to talk and share our stories, what works for us and what does not.
