MDJunction to me

liamacker"The part of my recovery plan that I would say made up 80% is MDJ. I suffered a lot prior to finding MDJ, felt alone and had no one to talk to who really understood me. In the Bipolar Group I found like minded individuals who I could relate to and who offered support to me when I needed it. As I recovered, I could then offer support to them which gave me a good feeling about myself. I have met some great people here who I would class as good friends and know I would still be in the slump I was in without them. Now I am stable, I know that MDJ plays an important part in keeping me that way. Thank you MDJ for being there for us all and making us no longer feel alone." (liamacker)

I survived the colonoscopy even though I thought I was going to die.Drinking the stuff was horrible!The new Doc is fantastic.4 inches of my infected intestine, the crohn's has dissappeared from it!Praise god!My rectum is stull very bad, but right now it is the only affected area.So I see the surgeon on the 21st to set up a date to do a temp eliostomy(sp)!

I think they blew me up with air.I have not been able to stand up straight since the scope!I hurt soooooooo bad.When I lay down I am ok!If only I could fart...LOL!

Best Christmas present ever - 4" free of Crohn's! Doing Snoopy's happy dance for you!

Didn't they make you fart in front of witnesses before they let you leave? I always have to - thank God my best friend Jane is so understanding; we were raised that ladies don't even do the silent ones, let alone the audio versions.

Try lying on your back and drawing your knees up towards your chest, a few times in a row. Only go as far as is comfortable, no need to strain anything. Hope there's a gale force wind soon!
