I've found through trial and error (and more errors.... too many to count!) that the pill wrought more havok with my body than going w/o anything. But then I got the depo shot (one poke in the butt every 3 months) and my symptoms actually got a bit better, and attacks further apart.
I've heard that from a lot of people, but please don't use the patch! B/C pills/shots seem to work really well, even the implant thing they use in the UK seems to help my friends, but the patch has caused so many problems (cysts, horrible pain, worsening of IBS symptoms) that I can't believe they still sell it!
But I'm glad to hear it's not just my little circle of friends who benefit from the b/c pills/shot. (And I'm ibs-d, pre-disposed to crohn's - helps all kinds!)
