rough scene dude. my roommate got diagnosed with Crohn's a few years ago after having to fight with doctors for YEARS to get tested. apparently it's not considered a thing to check for in Canada, 'probably just indigestion...'

definitely doesn't seem like fun and it makes me far more appreciative of my own working plumbing. good luck with that. really hope they find a better cure than just hot swapping meds ahead of the eventual stomach cancer 'side effect'. at least that's the Canadian version of treatment.

that sucks....when i first started having symptoms...back in 2002 i took 12 days in the hospital before the decided to scope me and then one day later i was diagnosed....so i kind of understand

thanks man ....i hope it stays in remission they said if a i have another major flare up that they will have to reverse the "j pouch" and i'll have to spend the rest of my life with a chunk of my intestine hanging out of my abdomen!....i had to do it for three months and it was horrible

ouch, in that case i hope you have better meds than my roommate or a more disciplined diet. he gets flare ups every couple of months, but he usually owns up to causing them himself (sometimes steak just smells a little TOO tasty). he had to spend about a week in the hospital to get his proper diagnosis once they finally decided that it might actually be more than acid reflux.

and yeah, colostomy bags are nasty! i remember a guy who had a motorcycle accident years ago and had to deal with one for a while during his recovery because the handlebars literally tore him a new one. he'd go to the bar and ask people if they wanted to see what he had for lunch earlier that day then pull it open for them. words cannot describe the grossness hahaha

Haha, it wouldn't surprise me really man.

Lol, I know the screwdriver thing sounds messed up but I was quite lucky it hit me in the nose rather than the eye.

The list is pretty obvious.
And to be honest, I've been here for a while now and we have quite a lot of them. That's usually the case in a place where a lot of people get together because they freak out over one thing. It doesn't matter whether it's music, computers, cars or, on my own forum, reel to reel decks. At least 50% of my own forum members has some autistic 'disability'. It's brilliant .
