I've got a chronic condition related to Crone's Disease and believe me, I need to take my pills everyday. The alternative is to literally feel like my guts are falling out.

  Drop, don't walk, run, to your local grocery store and find, in the dairy case, a yogurt called "Activia". Eat one of the small containers every day. You won't believe how much it will help.

    Colitis isn't as bad as Crone's and my case is under control with maintainence medication. Crone's can't be surgically cured and the lesions can eat through the intestine into surrounding organs. Aggressive steriod treatment can help but some people do die from Crone's.

  Oh Droppy!
  Now I see why you post such bile.
  Im so sorry.
  However, I think its important to realize that words have meaning and power and you shouldnt just use the internet as your own personal linquistic toilet bowl.
  Know what I mean?
