[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 509378, member: 1550"] Janet...I did not read all the other posts, but my brother has had Crohns since (we figured) about nine years old and I want to assure you it is VERY hard to diagnose. Doctors don't look for it. My brother got a ton of wrong diagnoses and he was sick as a dog. The only reason he even survived to get diagnosed was because he got a full body access at nineteen and was rushed to the University of Chicago HOspital, which had the pioneer of Crohn's Disease on staff and he took my brother's case. 'Crohns is an autoimmune disease, not an allergy of any sort. Also, this is not in any way like IBS (I had that) and does not respond to IBS methods. IBS is not autoimmune... Understand that even though Ron was diagnosed, he was sick. He is mostly not in remission and has had to take heavy duty drugs all of his life and has had major surgery. I don't think that would have contributed to your son's felonies. My brother is in pain a lot, however he has never broken the law in his life and is a very easygoing person. I really don't think finding out earlier would have changed things that much, so please don't feel bad. My brother is now 52 and has had to modify his life for his crohns...as in, he used to work a high power job 80 hours a week and the stress kicked up his crohn's so he took an easier teaching job and loves it. He has flare ups from time to time. That's normal. Everyone with Crohn's has a different course. Your son may have a much milder case of it. But, most of all, I am so concerned that you even mentioned blaming yourself. It is NOT your fault. Not your fault. NOT YOUR FAULT! Get it? ;) I hope your son does well with treatment and keep us posted. gvc mom--My brother was very slow to grow, gain weight or hit puberty. He looks better now than he did as a child, but he is on some very serious medication. [/QUOTE]
