[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm not sure I'd put Crohn's in the same category as some other diseases where you become totally incapacitated/helpless/nonfunctional. (like ALS, which my mom had.) I am not really surprised by this statistic, though - men are less likely to be natural caretakers than women, I think. [/quote] I'm really sorry your mom suffered with ALS, I can only imagine how difficult that must have been for everyone involved. Although very different from ALS, Crohns can most certainly leave someone incapaciated/helpless/nonfunctional depending on how the disease progresses. Going to the bathroom 30+ times a day, dealing with things like fistulas and recovering from bowel resection surgeries isn't exactly a cake walk, but regardless, it's not a competition. Living with a chronic illness sucks. [/quote]
