I have Crohn's disease. I've had it since 1987, and let me tell you, it sucks. I've been flaring since at least October, and now I'm stuck being sick for the summer. And now I am so fatigued, so exhausted that I am sleeping like a cat, 15 or so hours a day. Oh, not all at once. I sleep for 8 or so hours at night, then nap most of the day away. I barely see my son. I want to get better. I want energy. I want to have fun. I also want to eat a salad. But if I ate a salad now, I'd be in so much pain.
I hope to write about my experiences so that I can keep track of where I've been, so that hopefully, when I get on the other side, and in remission, I can remember everything I've done. And if I ever have another flare, I can go back and see what worked and what didn't.
