Twitter is a great place to meet other Crohnies as we call them.  Just type in Crohnies and you will meet tons and tons of nice individuals all on there for the same reason.  We want to connect, chat with others going through the same disease.  Many have tried the same medications or have stories, suggestions to give.  Many are just there to give you a word of encouragement.  I personally like it better than facebook.  People from all over the world connecting.  Perfect strangers asking me how I'm doing and really meaning it.  If you haven't tried it, give it a shot. You might find a connection that makes you feel less alone.  No matter what your reason may be for reaching out.  There's always others there to connect with.
