I'm a slave to my Crohn's
by Susan
(Scarborough)
I'm in my late 50's and found that taking
mega dose of vit. D3 (10,000 I.U.) made me feel
better, without having to take my medications.
However, when I eat at any restaurant's Buffet,
I end up with an acute attack that lasts for 3
days, and leaves me extremely weak for about a week,
unable to walk with enough strength.
I get so frustrated when I'm weak due to this
disease, that I become a complainer at times, bitter,
depressed.
I'd like to travel, but afraid of not getting
an immediate medical help, so I feel that I don't
have much to look forward to.
At times I'm too weak to cook my own meals, but
I force myself, as my meals are somehow safer
that eating out.
Considering food is my first, and only pleasure
in life, I find it very very hard to live this way.
Is there any new development, or cure on the Crohn's
front?
Please advise.
