I'm 19 years old now living with Crohn's Disease. I feel alone dealing with this disease because I feel like no one knows what I go through.
I got diagnosed when I was 14 years old. I lost 20 pounds in less than 30 days. Throughout high school my disease was bad but as soon as I left for college I was in and out of the hospital.
Always in pain needing morphine and sometimes that wouldnt work. I missed so much of school being in the hospital that I was forced to dropped out of college. I wish my life would just be normal.
