pandarilla Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Anyone on here got it? Or close to someone who does? I thought there was a thread already out there, but if there is I couldn't find it. Anyway, I'm just about to start tpn feeding for the first time which is quite a big change in my lifestyle. Basically feeding me nutrition directly into the vein (missing out the problematic digestive system). Anyone got any experience of this? I'm (literally) shiting myself.

Shandon Par Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Will you always have to go to hospital for this or is there some way to get you hooked up at home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Do you get Crohn's disease from years of poor lifestyle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Sorry to hear m8 but my good friends sister has it, she has to wear a bag. She's very comfortable with it, nobody sees it (except her husband) and she's very positive and happy with her life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's worried that all these years of Wetherspoons abuse is going to catch up with him. @throbber, I think crohns isn't related to lifestyle. You are far more likely to develop obesity related conditions, liver disease or, in your case, a fatal dose of AIDS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 Will you always have to go to hospital for this or is there some way to get you hooked up at home? No they train you up and get you home on it. You just have to manage the stuff, hook yourself up at night, and be very careful about infection. Once I get the proper line in (hopefully today but I've been waiting since Friday) - I'll have to be trained for two weeks before getting out.

pandarilla Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 I just bought a bacon roll and cup of tea and got 80p back from a fiver. Surely a mistake? I was too busy balancing my drip stand and my roll so I didn't check. It was bloody good but not quite worth £4.20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paranoid android Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 My mate has had Crohn's disease for at least 20 years - he is a healthy, happy guy who loves his life. Best of luck to you, pandarilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermik Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Best of luck pandy. Wifes maw had crohns but she was a defeatist old bugger who let it get the better of her. Although I would never wish it on you or anyone else for that matter, the docs gave her a temporary stoma bag and she was in the best condition that I had ever seen her. The wife has ulcerative colitis which is slightly similar but loads of medication keeps it under control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
