Chron's? Advise please.

Hello, I am twenty six and have just been told I have Chron's. I am feeling very stressed, confused and quite frankly worried after reading some of the posts.

I have had servere mouth ulcers for 3 years and was fobbed off with, 'you are stressed.' After suggesting Chron's to a doctor, she sent me to see a specialist. She looked inside my colon and said it was similiar to the surface of the moon and she was positive I had chron's. I am due for a camera in my large intestine next tuesday and I am rather worried.

My symptons are; needing to go to the toilet 2 times a day with soft stools often surrounded in mucus.
Piles.
Mouth ulcers.
I do not really experience pain, is this considered a good sign?

Any suggestions or persepctives would be appreciated.
