PET Scan Results
My whole family was on edge and all I could do was sleep. I was so tired. I didn’t have the energy to move. Monday came, I went to work with the idea when I got the call I would leave to call them back at home. I got the call at 10 am and…

When my Crohns world turned upside down
I have had a very tough battle with this illness. I have had to leave my town and seek more specialized treatment because no doctor knew what to do with me. The only thing they did was add more drugs to me and I was just getting sicker and sicker at 17-19 years old. My…
