Tyler Fisher understood the travails of living with an ailment.
The Maumee native was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease as a high school sophomore and dealt with pain and the inconveniences associated with health predicaments. But a decade on, he had a nagging pain in his chest and back.
It persisted for two years, eventually reaching an unbearable level that required him to leave early from his job in the University of Toledo ticket office last May to seek immediate medical attention. Previously, doctors thought the pain could be associated with Fisher’s heart, but an EKG eliminated that possibility.
