Well, here is a little more about me. In May '98 I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. For Those of you who don't know what this is, it is a disease of the intestines. To find out more about it click the link below. During the last year I was hospitalized twice for it. The first time was just after I had been diagnosed with it. I was in for 4 days. The medication I was on was helping but wasn't enough, and in Oct of '98 I was back in the hospital for an intestinal blockage. So I started taking Prednisone, a wicked, nasty, but very effective steroid. Since then I've been doing pretty good. Trying to watch my diet and keep from having another flare up.  Anyone know anyone with Crohn's?  Until I was diagnosed with it, I'd never heard of it, Since then I know of quite a few people with it, or they know of someone with it.
