I knew that something wasn't right and straightaway was at my doctor. I did lose some weight, but put it back on again (& some) after a year of being on steroids. I remember in the early days pre-diagnosis making sure that I knew where a toilet was at all times and I rarely went to new places.

She was crying her eyes out one morning and couldn't look me in the face - it turned out she'd soiled the sheets in our spare bed. She was mortified, and also very scared as she still hadn't been diagnosed, and had no idea what was wrong with her. She lost so much weight, it was frightening for us all to see the change in her. So glad you can live a healthy life.Donna@MummyCentralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13685962615592895589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1231023261575406102.post-47069587006197089102012-05-17T13:52:49.844+01:002012-05-17T13:52:49.844+01:00That's great that you are doing well.

I must admit I've not had a look to see if there are other IBD blogs... my blog is a mix of allsorts, but IBD is part of me and so I felt that it was relevant to include it here.

I have another friend I went to school with with ulcerated colitis. She has it under control but not after a long time of operations and medication. It is a hard disease and I admire anyone who lives with this.

It sounds as though that early period of suffering was awful for you. It must have been really tough, especially dealing with it on top of the loss of your mother. Am glad you've got it under control now, and good on you for speaking out too, and raising awareness.Mummy Plumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10746501465644149765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1231023261575406102.post-7555170656143047142012-04-25T23:38:13.377+01:002012-04-25T23:38:13.377+01:00An old housemate of mine suffered from Crohns, it ...An old housemate of mine suffered from Crohns, it is a horrid illness and until she was diangosed and treated very debilitating. I'm glad you have it under control. I have done some work in the disease area as well on the different treatments for Crohns and some of them have unplesant side effects. <br /><br />On a different note, I do empathsize with the hanging your head in shame bit, apart from mine was something I had eaten, it took me by complete surprise while on a train to London to catch a flight to canada, and I was working on my laptop when I was suddenly gripped with crippling cramps. needless to say I didnt make the toilet quick enough. I ended up doing the rest of the journey knicker-less and despite the fact my jeans didnt seem affected, I rinsed the seat of them out in the train toilet wash basin and put them back on (I only had business clothes in my small suitcase) and once in vancouver found the nearest Mall and bought a new pair of jeans as I was so paranoid! It was a horrendous experience but one mu husband found hilarious and my brother once my husband decided to share it.The Rambling Pageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05815994483015209286noreply@blogger.com
