My screen name is SWVAGIRL but my name is Sarah. I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 2007. My favorite thing about fall is either the leaves changing colors or the upcoming snow season....Not sure which is better

Screen name is cancu, but my name is Uli. I was diagnosed with Crohn's in fall of 2006 when they removed 2 feet of my colon. I'm 46 and live in California. I love the fall, with the cooler weather, which reminds me so much on my country Germany where I'm from.

Miserable_SOB replied to cancu's response:
This kind of roll call almost reminds me of my early school days, when you'd rather just stay home, watch cartoons, etc. The circumstances might be different here but I'd be glad to keep away from this site if I never came down with Colitis and all the unpleasantness after that.

I started feeling unwell shortly after giving birth in February. I was diagnosed with Crohn's in May. It's been a painful six months to say the least!

Thanks to those who have responded so far, keep the intros going. Oh, I have not responded.
I am Elizabeth, I recently began moderating this board after your great leader, Louise, moved on to a new adventure.
I do not have Crohn's or Colitis so I am unable to offer personal experience. I do suffer from severe lactose intolerance and relate to that part of your disease.
Fall for me = UF Football, tailgating and family. Oh, and a break from our "highs in the 90's" temperatures.

Hi My name is Megan
I am 21 and i was diagnosed with Collagenous colitis about 6 months ago. After 2 weeks in a hospital facility after passing out in my work place, i went to the doctor and they told me i had acid reflux and the next day i passed out from sever pain at work and had to be rushed to hospital, i am engaged was suppose to be married last may but due to this i had to move my wedding to stay on my parents insurance, tried asacol, and it put me back in the hospital, I still have not learned to cope with this, it has affected my job my life. My uncles have uc and just colitis so im not in it alone, but people in my family still dont understand what its like, to be 21 and have a disease like this. I have just lost all hope. SO thats why i am here, hoping that something or someone can help me gain back what i have lost.
