Yes, I had the works at the hosptial, including scope and CT. I saw my GI again today and he repeated that crohn's sometimes just goes away. He explained that the immune response is overactive when we are young and, as we get older, the immune system weakens and stop overreacting. I'm not trying to sell anyone on this. I was just asking if anyone else had heard it. I have a colon that is shaped like an M and extensive adhesions all over my abdomen. Future scopes are risky, at best, so I accept the fact that when something goes wrong, only the surgeon will know for sure when he opens me up. I survived to 59 and intend to live alot longer. Thirty eight years ago we were patted on the head and told if we could just relax and not get so upset, we would be fine. I am glad that research has proven this disease is not "all in our heads." If maintenance meds work, take them!
