Crohns- Predictably Unpredictable

I see many of us who have crohns, or ibd generally as individuals all sharing a common condition. Yet this common condition lacks a commonality in its damage, effects and reactions to medical or surgical treatments. You may say 'this is stating the obvious' and in many ways its true.
However, i know through having crohns for the time i have, that we do appear to have so many varied experiences and obstacles as a consequence, that it is significant to me.Indeed some sufferers have numerous surgeries, others hardly any, even none! Some experience very successful responses to treatments giving respite from flare up and remission.  Others struggle,desperately to locate a successful medical resolution, suffering the pain and turmoil before a breakthrough is discovered.
Many of others will pick up additional complications as a result of the treament or illness. Some will  manage fewer or little.
Having established IBD and specificially crohns are inconsistent in many ways, it is equally as obvious to say the personal responses to and handling of these inconsistencies can vary so much. It is obvious to say the degrees in fragility of our bodies and minds, has a major role in our life with our illness.
This would also mean environment and surroundings play a role in the way we deal effectively with illness.
Essentially what i am saying is, I am imagine, one of the reasons why it has taken such a long time and counting, to find an adequate substantive reason for why we develop the conditions. The natural partner to that puzzle is the discovery in how to prevent and cure the conditions.
I think we see progress in research and investment, don't we all wish for it to be speedier and more successful?
I. like many others are optimist that a genetic breakthrough will be discovered soon. I don't imagine to see the benefits greatly to my own situation, but am hopeful that future generations, family members children, etc will be the real winners.
It is easy to be negative with this condition, i am one of the worst i imagine! I often allow mood and emotion to cloud judgement, but i know it and that's something i suppose.
I look at IBD and still see children being diagnosed, youngsters having so much pain and suffering at present and in the future, and it is them and the future generations that I am more hopeful about.
I see hope in the dedication of the Medical experts across the globe, the many Support Groups and the Researchers, and i see an optimistic outcome for IBD in the future.
