Hiya Liz

I am soooo pleased to see this forum has been added too.

I originally found Braintalk while learning about Tourette Syndrome, which my youngest son was dx with almost 7 years ago
Well, this past year he has been having some wierd abdominal pains and we had a real run around with misdiagnosis until this summer when a colonoscopy showed he has Crohn's Disease

so,
now I have had to start researching ways to help him all over again!

One of the biggest probs is, my son reacts very severely to most prescription meds and if there is a potential side effect..........he seems to get it!
That was why I got involved in alternative treatment research for Tourette's

Anyway, sure enough, my son had really bad reactions to the ant-inflammatory and immunosuppressive drugs for Crohn's that they tried him on, and so I am thankful to have found excellent info re natural things to help him and we are seeing really good results, as evidenced by his most recent blood tests

I will post more about just what is working for him if anyone is interested.

But I am nevertheless pretty ignorant on the vast area of autoimmune illness and so I am here to be a sponge and soak up as much info as I can

Hey Curious! Could ya stock up this room with yer coffee and choccy goodies too pleeeeeez
