Re: Does anyone with Crohns get the shakes/****vers and feel cold

I occasionally get tremors in my hand which bothers my grandson.  He 
asks me about it and I just explain that Grandpa's hands are getting old 
which he disagrees with.  He is about 4 years old and gets extremely 
embarrassed when he has a bum burp.  Where does he get such cute 
expressions?

I have received many blessings and my grandchildren are the most precious.
