In the way that we all are or did I miss some bad news?

It's OLD news. I am afflicted with Crohn's Disease, as is our Dar512. It won't kill me by itself, but the side effects and concurrent infections, weight loss and organ failure suck ass.

Not to mention the drugs. I've been informed recently that the treatment that works best for me (Remicaid and Imuran combination) has been found to cause a nasty form of cancer in a small percentage of those taking it. I tried going with other options, but then the usual Crohn's symptoms flared and I was back to being sick and tired of being sick and tired. I've gone back to the original set and will take the gamble.
