What is Crohn's disease?

Crohn's disease, also known as regional enteritis, is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that may affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus, causing a wide variety of symptoms. It primarily causes abdominal pain, diarrhea (which may be bloody if inflammation is at its worst), vomiting (can be continuous), or weight loss, but may also cause complications outside the gastrointestinal tract such as skin rashes, arthritis, inflammation of the eye, tiredness, and lack of concentration. - from wikipedia
 
When I was a high school senior student, i decided to study. I studied very hard. My grades were gradually rising. In June, I finally received a score of 487. This score was my goal that can let me go to Hongik University( however, i couldn't go Hongik University :-( ). But I had been sick since May. So, I went to a hospital. The doctor said I had Crohn's disease. I couldn't eat anything for for one month. And then, i ate white rice soup for one month and ate 30 pills per day. It was a terrible experience. At first time, I thought it was a curse. And since i was sick, I haven't believed in a God. This is a rare in Korea, and incurable disease. But few weeks ago, my thinking changed. I don't have go to army two years ( Korean boy have duty to go army for two years) and have received special insurance. Since then, my life is Cinderella story. Besides, I started boxing for my health. Although I can't cure this disease, I am feeling well now. So, cheer up everybody :-D
