I have a friend who has Crohn's disease. When it's good, he has a fairly normal life. When it's bad.... it's really, really bad. So, yeah. Being able to stand and walk and maybe even leave the house can be huge accomplishments.
Chronic disease just WEARS at you. There is something about knowing that your disease will always be there... better, worse, or in transition, it's there waiting for another flare-up... that just sucks the will right out of you sometimes. ***hug***
