Hi Everyone, just wondered if anyone else has this condition. My feet and hands are the worst affected. I am only 32 and have been told this is probably linked to my mums crohns condition. My maternal grandmother had and my Uncle has I.B.S
I was offered an injection recently on my first visit to the Rheumatologist, but because i have had problems with steroids(allergies) before this is on hold until i know i can have this so am struggling with pain.
Ive also just started with cramping pains in my belly and a headache that's lasted 3 days (that could be due to the summer holidays for my kids tho lol) just wanted to know if there's anyone else on here with this certain diagnosis. Xx

    Hello chezzy, how miserable for you. I don't have the same, I can't think of anyone offhand who does, but if there is I am sure they will reply. I wish you well. Dreamdaisy

    Hi chezzy and welcome to the forum from me too. :D

    I don't have this diagnosis but know there are other peeps on here who do and someone who has chrons too..... I'm sure she will be along just as soon as she gets her net connection sorted. :wink:

    You could also ask our helpline peeps if they can sign post you to information about your condition... either post a question or give them a ring (number at the top)...

    hope to see you posting around the forum.....it can help you feel part of this great community and you'll be made to feel very welcome!

    Hi Chezzy

    Juat to say sorry to hear about your diagnosis.. I can't offer any advice myself, but as the other peeps have said, there are other Crohn's sufferers on the site who might be able to help - also, the Helpline is very good..

    Please keep posting and let us know how things go for you.

    all the best
