 Chrons being reconized????
by: LIZZIE

Hi i am 31 years old live in the uk and have had chrons for the past 12 years.

I have been told the NACC are currently trying to get chrons patients exempt for perscription charges but dont honeslty know if this will happen as trying to get anyone to understand this nasty disease unless you have it urself is very hardwork.

I will keep you informed if i hear anymore about it xxx

 We suffer just as much
by: Jodie

Im 18 and from the uk, and as a Crohns sufferer myself, i think its appauling that it isnt considered a disability. I applied for disability living allowance, and was declined over and over again. People dont seem to understand that it can hit us any time, and that it disables you for hours. It should be recognised!!!

 PRESCRIPTIONS
by: Anonymous

I agree we don't have much choice about medication we have to take it to try to live a normal life. Diabetics get free prescriptions, but asthmatics don't so that makes no sense either.
