| Bio: | Hi, my name is Adam. I'm a 24 year old web programming consultant working in Philadelphia, PA. In April of 2006 I was unofficially diagnosed with Crohn's disease, and this LiveJournal is my attempt to chronicle what it's like to live with the disease in the modern day.
My main inspiration for starting this journal is admittedly selfish. I don't have the greatest memory, and this gives me a way to look back and recall which symptoms I deal with, when, and for how long. It gives me a cheat-sheet when my doctors ask me how I've been doing.
A fortunate side effect is that others who either suspect that they have Crohn's themselves, or whose doctors suspect they may have it, can find more information on what its like to live with Crohn's today. When my doctors originally started mentioning that they suspected my problems were ("potentially") caused by Crohn's and its effects, of course I started researching it on the internet, and unfortunately I think most of the information available is marginally outdated. |
