Yeah, well, it takes time to make sense of things sometimes. I had joint pains when I was 14--it's cuz I was growing to my 5'8". If someone said, "Joint pain" to me, I wouldn't think, "auto-immune intestinal disorder". I salute you for all you've been through with the diagnosis (no doubt some time of mis-diagnoses, too), and treatment. I've had a couple of friends with crohn's, and my cousin was dx'd with it a few years ago. Sucks. You have all my admiration for the riding you do.

Are you doing the EBC Century on 9/17?
