There's nothing you did to "suddenly [get] Crohn's" so don't feel too down. I've had Crohn's for over a decade and up until Remicade no treatments worked for me either. Like you said, some even made me worse. I've lived through the absolute worst of it (while attending university no less): I've done the steroids weight yo-yo, I've tried every diet in the world (to no effect), I've **** myself, I've been in the hospital, I've had more colonoscopies than 60 year old prostate patients, etc. Nevertheless, I absolutely never thought of myself as crippled and neither should you... Although you may become very familiar with toilet locations for every place that you go.

With Remicade, it's now highly managed and I am able to manage my weight and do all the things I normally used to prior to suffering any symptoms with only occasional, very minor flares.

You're living in a pretty good time to be stuck with Crohn's, honestly. There's no cure but the treatments are light years ahead of where they were 10 years ago.
