Well, I have kept searching and have found many more blogs by crohn-sufferrers and UC sufferrers. I've listed them here on the right of my blog. Most are women, and young too, and brave in my opinion. I'm still searching, and as I find more I will list them, so others searching can read these amazing stories.
I'm not sure I could face the world the way some of these gals do, with an ileostomy or colostomy bag. That scares me, actually. I'm trying everything I can to not have that happen.
Kudos to them.
you have found some folks (and are one!) that i haven't come across yet - thank you. good luck with the SCD, i hope it continues to keep you stable.
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you. As I find these amazing blogs and people, I will continue to link them here, so others can find them too.
ReplyDeleteAs for the SCD, it's true that everybody is different - it's helping me find which foods don't work for me. Each time I eliminate an aggravating food, I have less pain. That must be good, right?
I love some of the names of those blogs; "I hate my guts," "Do These Shoes Match My Bag?" "The Chronicles of Crap," it takes guts (in this case literally) to face this with humor head on. I know you'll get tons of support at Vox when you spill the beans in a post, O.K nix the beans, I know the support will be there, and that's what you need right now. Jayne...I like the name.
ReplyDeleteNow about all these damn cats...
Thank you Mexid. And you're right it does take guts - just to be brave. and as you saw from the titles of some of the blogs, humor helps. For me, it's the only way to deal right now. And I know Vox will be good to me when I post about it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I did visit your blog. ;-)
