I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease about a year ago, and remember feeling exactly the way you do. I was so sick and weak and scared to death that I wouldn't be able to work. Adding to the problem was that my first doctor gave me the impression that I would completely recover and this would all be in the past. Luckily with the help of a new doctor, I learned to accept that this was something I would have to adjust to for the rest of my life, but that I would eventually feel better. I remember lying in bed and not even being able to keep water down, but eventually with the right medication and gradually introducing safe food into my diet, I was able to eat again. Heather recommended the fish oil supplements, and I have read this also. I never used it, but for some reason the one food my body always seemed to accept when I was sick was tuna. I think in some way my body knew what it needed. I hope you are starting to feel better by the time you get this post, but if not trust me it will get better.
