I have had Crohn's for about 19 years. It is a debilitating disease that affects my colon.

The type of IBS I am prone to is the constipation type, where I get trapped wind and can get sharp painful spasms in my intestines as well as having sluggish bowels.

My illness is excruciating and difficult to cope with. It takes over your entire life and causes more suffering than I can describe.

I've experienced wrong diagnoses and been given antibiotics for things that could be cured naturally. We may not think much of it, but it destroys our immunity.

Reactive arthritis is something I've been dealing with for nearly a year.

At the time I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, my doctors told me that I had an incurable illness and they didn't know much about it.

So I went and visited a doctor and he diagnosed me with reactive arthritis.

We are going to find, I think, several different kinds of Crohn's disease.

I've certainly experienced physical pain in my life.
