I have to tell you, you guys make a difference. I was quite despondent when I started this thread. I’m dealing with it better now. It’s easy to say “I have a chronic illness too”. But if one really did, they would be more understanding. Not all chronic conditions are debilitating.

Most people don’t know much about Crohns. Some people who have it hardly have any symptoms. Others die from it. I’d probably be in much better shape if I didn’t have leukemia on top of it. It’s the combination that really ****s things up.

I honestly don’t understand people who think medical stuff should be secret. Who gives a shit? I suppose 14 years of going to the cancer center changes ones view. Nobody hides anything there. We lift each other up.

Sometimes you can’t do it alone. Why would you?

Herpes? Olongapo? :leaving:

Ten dolla GI. :yesnod:

I can see why you wouldn’t talk about it with friends and family. 😂

So a friends request will be denied?

A bug i contacted that causes internal bleeding and severe cramps. It could have come from food water who knows.

*contracted

sorry about that John. I hope they can figure something out for you.

They've had 50 years to figure it out. :Jeff '79: They threw in the towel decades ago. I'am not the only GI that caught some overseas bug. I know a Marine that got a bug in the Middle East with some of the same symptoms. I wish that was the only thing that happened to me.

But i go to the VA to the spinal cord section and see young kids that can't move at all they just lay their year after year. Or they have no legs or arms and they're in their 20's. Or the 38 guys i lost in Vietnam from my hometown.

Maybe i shouldn't have posted in this thread but i still stand by what i said
Nothing against SnikPlosskin it's the alpha male in me. :yesnod: :cert:



**** off and die? I much rather have a nice dinner and go sit on a couch and just drop dead without the **** off. :yesnod:

:lol:That is a saying Terrance Popp uses on his You tube channel:D still cracks me up when I see him say it.:cert:

yeah, I know things can always be worse. I'm glad you're still in the land of the living and not too disabled.

I have my own health issues as well, but nothing deadly and it could have been much worse.
People like to vent. I can't hold it against anyone, I like to vent sometimes too.
I know you took a poll and I'm not well liked, but everyone here is ok by me. I hope to tip one back you someday. Just some random thoughts :cheers:

What poll? Outside of neece you are one of the most beloved person's at the Vettebarn. :yesnod:

I told my neighbor someone on the internet told me to **** off and die. She said i know snide told her the same thing a week ago. How did she know it was snide i was talking about? :confused5:

Didn't you take a poll that time I was gone for a week?

Here or at CFOT?

Don't remember. You've told me about a few.

I never take a Poll if someone isn't around.
