Watching the glow,
Of the sickle …

Close Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis
I've battled Crohns for years and even though I have flare-ups, I am remission at this time. I've been to hell and back with it. At my worst time, I weighed 90 lbs and I'm 5'8". Unfortunately the 6MP has permenently supressed my immune system. I'm at a good place right now with the Crohns. It's the bipolar disorder I'm really struggling with.
