Just some skittles


Well, the Crohn's has become Lupus too, and the arthritis is psoriatic arthritis. Just a little, the doc says. Like mild lupus. Just.

More to the blogroll


I will be adding to my links to other blogs - and not just crohn's and UC blogs - but some of the hilarious blogs I have found as I troll the webz.


why? Because laughter is the best medicine. hence the pic.

New view


Yup, I changed my blog a little. I've been ok, liquid vitamins, lots of them as malabsorption is my biggest problem. Oh, and those new Pearls - probiotics. those actually get to my intestines without getting destroyed by my stomach. work better than liquid or yogurt.


so, I decided to change my perspective. Dance a a little, live. Post what I want. Blog what I want. even though I suck at blogging, and I am inconsistent. Oh well.


My favorite thing is to read blogs - during lunch at work. And I only post a comment every now and then.


Hopefully I do better here.

Kickin' ass


Well, I have been doing much better - crohn's wise. I watch my diet and stress - especially stress, as one of my docs said that was utmost important. I take liquid vit's , minerals and probiotics. Helps.

But naturally, other ugly things rear their heads. Started off the year with my mammogram, then needed a sono and now need an MRI. Crap. One breast is much larger than the other, and the lymph channels are swollen on that side of my body. WTH? Oh well, the things to deal with when you have female parts.

At least I got my nose straightened out - it was staph in my nose. Although I still can't breathe at night. I suspect a strange allergy.

I noticed a lot of people with crohn's have some sort of allergy or food allergy. Or psoriasis. or asthma. My friends with crohn's do. One has psoriatic arthritis - and that is awful. he has asthma too, and some allergies. Must be a connection. My immunologist agrees. All tied to the immune system not working properly.

I'm very lucky that I can work and my life hasn't been too compromised by all this. And I remember this every day and tell myself this. And then I send prayers and thoughts to all those whose lives aren't going as they hope.
