If Only For A Moment

This doesn't have to be posted if it's not wanted but I just wanted to clear up the definition of Crohn's. Crohn's is NOT a cancer, it is an autoimmune disease - the victims immune system is basically in overdrive and in turn attacks itself. Crohn's can attack any and every part of the digestive system, most often the intestines causing ulceration, perpheration and excrutiating pain. There is no known cure as of yet, but research is getting better, hopefully within the next 10 years they will have determined the cause and therefore be able to find a cure. Crohn's does not have to be fatal but if left untreated or diagnosed, it can be. November 16 2010 I was diagnosed and was rapidly approaching death if something wasn't done. I continue to pray for a cure to stop this debilitating disease. I am now 22 and have a permanent ileostomy - the surgery has saved my life but has not cured me. With Remicade I have been in remission for 7 months at the cost of destroying my immune system.
