it is very nice geeting this site thanks for the internet . i am here in Ethiopia (East africa) , but now Crohn's makes us near . here i do not have contact with other patients .it is not common here at all the doctors also told me that , they also tried to contact me wih other fellow friends . but impossible we are not more than one hand finger count .

here i passed with alot of sufferes and pain , living here with out a good tretment is very hard . no medication other than steroid , i was taking it for 6 years before my surgery , i had surgery before a year .

living with it is very hard there u are lucky at least u get agood trtment and have awerness . here wow , my checkups was on public hospital . the shortest check up time is 3 months . imagen how mush pain and suffer i passed for even taking priscription for steroid .

any way i will try my best , hope i will be strong and strong for the furure . but u know when i think all the past suffers , i am very worried about the future , i know it is in our GOD'S hand but we are humance and deserve to be well alwasy .

Ethiopia, WOW! This internet has no limits.

I am a mom with child with Crohns Disease. I thank God every day for having access to top rated doctors and the modern medicines available to us (though we always aren't crazy about taking them.) She is only 9 and has been dealing with this disease most of her life, not even remembering days without medication (3 times a day).

I cannot begin to imagine living in such a deprived country trying to manage with a chronic disease such as this.

Be well, and know you have a friend in the U.S.
