61. Diagnosed with Crohn's in 2008. Pathology from colectomy changed diagnosis to UC. I have secondary Addison's from too long and too high of doses of Prednisone. I have to remain on 5 mg. of Prednisone for life now with some long term effects. Episodes of pouchitis getting a little more frequent. I do sports and the frequency gets limited from inflammation. We all have so many unique experiences on this journey.
