Link between Chron's and Marfan's
by smalltowngirl82, Sep 27, 2008 01:16PM
Greetings-
I was diagnosed with Marfan's Syndrome when I was 13, after my father died of complications due to Marfan's. I am now 44. This last week, I went to my GI specialist regarding an abscess. She suspects I have Chron's Disease. After researching Chron's, I have found that I have most of the signs and symptoms associated with it. I will be very surprised if I am not diagnosed with it after a colonoscopy this week. I there evidence of a link between the two?
Thanks-
