It's a chronic disease, as in symptoms are suppose go away and flare up periodically like herpes. Meds are suppose to help manage the symptoms when they flair up. Also, I thought u had it for 3 yrs, you didn't go to the doctor for first 2 yrs you had it??
Not saying that at all, he just didn't seem to know about the disease in detail, so I figured I would tell him what I know about it and if he didn't know about it already, it would only help him.
What do you mean, ofc I did. It took them 8 months to diagnose me.
ONLY MEDICATED chronic diseases do the symptoms disappear and come back, if the meds arent working, or you arent being treated, you are under a flare 100% of the time.
Crohn's is not a common disease, it isn't that easy to test for/it's difficult to diagnose, like I said, it took them a year, then 6 months of trying humira, didn't work, and pentasa, and so on.
How could I not know everything about this disease, lol.

I said in detail. Do most Americans who suffer from diseases / disorders like migraine know them in detail or only stuff the doctor told them in their short sessions.
If the migraine made them bedridden then yeah, I suspect they would...
