Dating someone with crohn's? - You can always excuse yourself to a quiet corner or to the bathroom if you don't want to swallow pills in front of your friends. Hi, I met this girl and we really hit it off, been talking for awhile. Anyway It's the week before our first date and she tells me she has the disease and she is in the hospital cause of a flare up, so we have to reschedule.. So I did some reading and ask questions about the disease, but I don't know what to think. I mean from the sounds of it in the past 6 months she spent 3 of them in the hospital, I don't want sound shallow, but at the same time I'm kinda freaking out and doubting everything. I'd like to think I'm a better person then this and not let this stop me from seeing an incredible person. Is this disease manageable? I know most sites say it is. I'm not saying with her cause we are still in the very early stages of everything but one day I'd like a family and kids. Does anyone have any advise that may help? I'm really trying to be open minded, thats why I signed up with this site and asking people who live with this disease. Most of us work, have kids and live productive lives, but to be honest we also run the risk of being very sick at times. If this is not something you think you can handle, you should get out of the relationship. It isn't selfish in my opinion. Not everyone can handle being a partner of a Crohnnie. That being said, we all run the risk of getting sick at some point. You may be missing out on a wonderful person. Good luck with your decision. MEDS: Pentasa- 6 500mg pills per day, Omeprazole, Metamucil, colace, miralax as needed, Florastor probiotics Before I got sick I dated a guy with crohn's it was hard because he was also very depressed about the disease and everything in his life so I guess the depression was harder on our relationship than the CD and what ultimately ended it , I loved helping him out after surgeries and to try and make him feel better in every way. I learned as much as I could about his disease and it did not bugg me one bit that he could not do all the things I could and like gumb44 said you can marry a perfectly healthy person who later becomes very sick. Then I got sick 4 years later, before I got sick I was a very active and happy person and did everything I wanted to do in life. After I got sick I had to slow things down a bit and it was very hard on my current partner but he stuck with me : and we are going strong 4 years after I got diagnosed. He had a very hard time coming to terms with my new life as a crohnnie since he only knew the healthy me, I just told him to man up or get out and he chose the first option. I thankfully managed to get into remission and have been fine for the last 2 years, we just had out first babies twin girls and life is good. If this girl is special and you see a future with her I would not think twice about her crohn's just read up and know the ups and downs. Diagnosed with : Endometriosis march 2007, Anxiety disorder august 2007, CD October 2008, Autoimmune Hepatitis in July 2009 and last but not least arthritis. Medication - Humira 40mg every two weeks , Asacol 800mg x 2 Spending 50% of your time 3 out of 6 months in this case in hospital is really not typical for Crohn's folks, so I would have an honest conversation with this girl about what is going on with her Crohn's. There is a small minority of people who have aggressive Crohn's which is not controllable, but most folks are not that badly off and manage to live normal lives despite flare-ups. Hard to tell what stage your boyfriend is in with his Crohn's Disease CD , or what symptoms he has when he gets 'sick. Or, better yet, stick your sleazy, fleapit website up a dark place where the sun don't shine, thank you. People like you make me sick, and not with the common cold either. In the 3 years we dated before we got married, I had a surgery every year not all Crohns realted. My now husband was wonderful, understanding and patient. He knew me as me and not my disease and he liked me. I liked him too not just for when I was sick, but his great personality when I was healthy. You have to find out if you have that before you decide if the disease is part of it. I work 40+ hours a week, have a fairly active social life and CD is just a part of me. Not everyone is sick so much. She may be at a low point. Can you handle someone with a long term chronic illness---you seem to be able to look inside pretty well. If you are willing to give it a try, go in with a focus on learning personalities of each other without the illness. Try to let her and your true personalities show through.... Still holding on with just Pentasa! Doc says most of my problems are side effects of my resection '90 and my disease is doing GREAT and no sign of a repeat fistula. Meds now to control the lack of TI and happy to be out and about. Having CD can be very miserable a lot of the time and I think it's safe to say that some of us feel very guilty for having this disease... I didn't get sick until after I was married and had my first baby 21 yrs ago is when I got sick but I married my boyfriend from my early teen yrs so even though he admited how difficult my crohn's was for him, we managed through it and here we are married still, 23 yrs later and together for a total of 30 this year. In this day and age there seems to be many with some sort of health issue, if not yet then more than likely at some point in everyone's life they'll have to deal with something... It can get depressing for us and even cause anxiety issues so working around those types of issues may very well be a reality but that doesn't mean a solid relationship can't be formed with someone living with CD. Good luck with everything. ~~~~~~~~My bum is broken.... LOL : ~~~~~~~~ i hid it from everyone for years and ended up marrying my college girlfriend... Diagnosed with Crohns at age of 15.

Waiting for scope results to see about Humira or Cimzia. In the middle of a bad flare now for 2 years... I am 35 year old female and have had crohns since I was 15. I'm single and haven't had an issue with anyone I've dated having a problem with my crohns. With that being said I recently had to have a temporary loop ileostomy done to give my large intestines a break. I have been very depressed about it ever since I had it done. I haven't found anything to put me in remission in order to have the reversal. I haven't had the desire to date just for that reason, but my friends tell me that taking the approach of getting to know someone before you tell them about it is the way to go, which is what I've been doing. If the right person comes along they will love me for me and all the other issues won't even matter to them. I don't want to be with anyone that isn't going to be understanding bc that is just setting myself up for a doomed relationship. Anyone can get sick at anytime. We are all going to get older and our outside appearance and bodies are going to change, but who we are on the inside will always remain the same. Treat others the way you would want to be treated. This is not something she chose to have nor is it anything she can help. Put yourself in her shoes and think about how devestating it would be if the tables were turned. But I also agree that not everyone can handle being with someone that has crohns, so dig deep and figure out if your someone that is cut out for this roller coaster of a ride. Hope this helps and good luck!! I am not having a stab at the author of this thread! I see that the issue has been resovled, I'm just putting this out there for future readers that are curious. My boyfriend has Chrons, and I don't think he'd be even a quarter as loving, caring, funny and just absolutely amazing if he didn't have it. Having Chrons has made him.. Yes, I admit it does have its bad days, and these days have caused pointless arguments but these are just that. The moment my boyfriend told me he had Chrons and explained to me what he had been through, I knew I wanted to be with him forever. To take care of him and show him that he can be loved, and he can be treated right. A year into our relationship he had to be hospitalised for a few months, and I was visiting him and caring for him through it. I was there before and after surgery, telling him it would be okay. I honestly think that people with Chrons are just.. I honestly couldn't imagine what you all go through, you're just amazing. My boyfriend used to be depressed and self-concious, but with a bit of love and someone that's there for him whenever he needs them has transformed him into an outgoing and much happier guy. No one with Chrons should be depressed. I hate the idiots that tease about Chrons. The amount of bullying that is thrown at people with Chrons is disgusting, and they should just rot in hell. You shouldn't throw away a once in a lifetime opportunity to be with the most amazing person you'll probably ever find just because of a disease. Maybe, if you've gave it a good try and it isn't working out, then just maybe you should call it off. But explain to them that it isn't their fault. Its your fault for not being able to cope. People with Chrons have feelings too. It's just a little hard to take it seriously when you misspell the name of his disease nine times! Crohn's Disease is clearly not an insignificant part of this girl's life at this point. While people with Crohn's can typically live relatively normal, functional lives and have healthy romantic relationships and family lives, having Crohn's is inevitably going to be a big part of our lives, and remains a huge consideration even in remission. I'll give you a brief descript ion of how my disease would impact a prospective romantic relationship, in the hopes that it provides some insight into your situation: I'm a 22 year old girl and was diagnosed at 14. My disease is described as 'moderate' - I have flare ups at least annually, but they typically respond well to steroids, and the rest of the time I'm just on maintenance drugs. I've only had one surgery and it was minor, and I was hospitalized one time for about a week. I'm a mostly-functioning college senior. Having Crohn's has had a huge impact on my personal development, both for better and for worse, and I think you will find this to be the case for all of us. My experiences struggling with the disease have left me with an enhanced perspective relative to my peers, and fostered in me a real sense of the variability of the human condition, and a compassion comes with that; I think I have a lot to be thankful for in this regard. Being sick a lot also means that I have a much greater appreciation for the times when I'm feeling well, and for 'the little things' that I miss out on when I'm stuck in bed. That said, Crohn's has left me with a lot of insecurities. I often feel guilty to be such a burden to my loved ones, and I worry about my ability to accomplish my goals in the future with my unpredictable health. On some level I also feel a sense of shame for having this disease and very rarely tell people I have it. There are a lot of complicated emotions tied up in this. I hope to have a family some day, and have had a couple great serious relationships, and one real dud. While my illness may require some patience, when I'm not feeling well I am typically able to just snuggle up in bed, or watch television or something; it doesn't really make me a monster or hard to be around. But it is harder for me to be active around the house, or take care of obligations, or be relied upon at these times, and if I had a family this might make things more of a challenge for my partner. My one terrible relationship was with a boy who was wonderful for the first 9 months when I was feeling well, and totally couldn't handle it when I suddenly started to get sick. He knew I had Crohn's the whole time we were dating, but when it came down to it he became very resentful and angry, and the stress of this unfortunate situation made my symptoms a lot worse, and that was the one time I ended up in the hospital. For this reason, before you get serious I would advise you to think long and hard over how you'd realistically respond to a situation like this; even if you were already having problems with your girlfriend, its important for you to be able to rally if she needs your support. OK somehow this ended up super long, but I hope it was in some way helpful. I think you should talk to her and get a better understanding of how her disease affects her, and her outlook going forward. You just started getting to know each other; there's no need to make such a big decision right away, maybe feel it out for a little while first? And hey, don't forget that there's a lot of money in research right now, and there are a lot of promising 'cures' in the early stages of development, not to mention the fact that Crohn's is the only complex genetic disease with a fully traced genome. Maybe if you can just hold out for ten years or so, this won't be a problem! I think it's great you're doing your research before asking her about her Crohn's. My husband dated me before I was diagnosed and has stayed with me through my diagnosis. My husband sees me go through tough times when I'm up at 4am sitting on the toilet and holding a bucket vomiting, and while those sometimes happen more than I would like them too, I'm not sick all the time. It can be difficult because it may cause some people to not want to leave the house too often. It is a lot for people to handle, but with the right meds in place, it's not THAT bad! There will be flare ups, but for the most part, it's manageable!
