Chron’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that affects the gastrointetinal track causing a multitude of symptoms. My symptoms were, but are not limited to severe abdominal pain at any given point of time, extreme fatigue, bloody diarhea (leading to severe dehydration), vomiting, and arthritis. Chron’s is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attcks the gastrointesinal track causing massive inflammation. This disease usually presents itself within the early teen years to late twenties and is thought to be hereditary; predominantly in jewish families. There is no known cure for chron’s disease, the only treatment available is maintaining symptoms, waiting for the disease to go into remission, and then preventing a flare by adminestering and maintaing a rigorous regimen of pharmaceuticals.
