Dear God that was heart-wrenching! Poor Derek, those pictures were difficult to view.

I can't believe that someone can even make a name for themselves by taking pictures of that. Fuc*ing depressing, I am going to go enjoy something now.

i agree with you on both counts.

but stuff like this reminds you that not everyone is fortunate enough to be stuck at work all day, or have girl problems, or car problems, some people would be glad to experience some of our "problems" if it meant not being stuck in the hospital or having the problems this kid was having

Well.... last year around this time I was in a hospital, 1 day from death with a massive intestine infection caused by Crohn's disease.

I understand where you're coming from. My mom has Crohn's and was given the 6 months to live. This was about 5 years ago. She's still alive today and I'm glad you are too JC

Those pictures were hard to look at, at certain points. So sad

Sorry to hear that she has it, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I am glad to hear that she is doing better though.

Just in case she wants to know, I take Goji Juice, Pro Biotics, and Fish oil. It is a killer combination for Crohn's, two powerfull anti inflamitoryies (Goji is also a powerfull immune booster) and good bacteria for helping with any bad food.
