Ooh. Nasty. Poor lad, hope he gets better soon

saw an article on the BBC site too. Bad news, hope he gets better.

An ex-GF had it, it can be a nasty business when it's active. That picture is shocking contrasted with what he did look like. There is no cure so he's not getting rid of it anytime soon, but with luck and the right diet the attacks can be infrequent.

Not been a good few months for people at, or connected to, Wakefield has it?

Terrible news for the lad.

not been good at all and now Rooney is not well either

he technically died for 30 seconds, quite scary to say his op was "routine"

Full details on Rooney [url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_league/super_league/wakefield/7885313.stmhere[/url

Bl00dy'ell.

Just seen the pics of Richard. Totally stunned at how much it's change him

Hope the fella gets it all under control soon.

Good luck to him. Hope he recovers well.

What bowel disease did Paul Anderson have when he was younger? or did I imagine that?

Paul Anderson was very ill for a long time.

Incredible run of bad luck at Wakefield. All the best to all concerned.

Wish the lad well, his recovery won't be easy.

Unlikely to get better a such as their is no known cure...

Unlike the other major types of inflammatory bowel disease, there is no known drug based or surgical cure for Crohn's disease.[11 Treatment options are restricted to controlling symptoms, putting and keeping the disease in remission and preventing relap.

as far as i know once you have it you have it for life erstricts your diet and your on drugs to "control" it ...and its genetic so any kids the brute may have will have a good chance of gettign it too.
