First of many?

So, does it make sense that I am starting a blog after almost 30 years of being diagnosed with Crohns Disease?  I have a wonderful life- 2 incredible sons, a loving husband, supportive parents, an amazing friend, Deb, good friends, and a job that I love. Yet, this disease affects all of those people. Do I have the right to share, explain, complain, when many more people are suffering far more than me? Or is it I?   When I was diagnosed in 1985, a junior in High School, I never took the time to truly understand the long term impact that this disease can have on a person. In a way, it was a good thing but there is always the other side, the bad side.  Why didn't I learn, study, help to fight this annoying, painful, embarrassing, harassing, debilitating, sneaky disease? I was at the perfect age to help make a difference, so now I plant the seed in my sons that maybe they will find a "cure" to Crohns rather than just meds to mask the disease.
