Nigel’s story

March 3, 2012

I have been suffering with Crohns Disease since 2004 then March 2011 I had terrible back pain after various CT Scans and MRI I was rushed to hospital with rectual abcess which was removed surgrcally and drained I have subsequent abcesses and fistula removed the 3 wounds are still being packed and dressed daily and I see my consultant in April as I now have a Stoma I was wondering how others deal with this terrible disease as I have 2 bad days and 1 good day. I also have to be very careful when I do go outdoors because my immune system is very low and I pick colds up very easily.
