World IBD day 2017 To be honest: I almost forgot about today’s WORLD IBD DAY. I mean it’s good that my life isn’t just about the daily struggles with Crohn’s disease anymore. I work. I eat. I run. I travel. I basically live the life I always wished to have and that I though would be impossible. But still there are moments IBD affects my life even though I’m in remission: I have to be careful with food especially when eating out. I take my daily medicine and see my GI regularly (including poop samples that’s one of the IBD specialties). I get sick more frequently than other people do. For example: Last week I woke up every other hour one night and ended up taking some pain killers…just because I had a Pizza margharita for dinner (normally a relatively safe food when I skip most of the cheese). Or I had to explain why I can’t have ibuprofen or other NSAID when I visited the doctor for a bronchitis with fever. I try to educate people about IBD with telling my own story when I feel like it and they’re often very interested in it. Remission is wonderful and I’m grateful for every single day because I haven’t forgotten about all the pain, nausea and troubles I went though the past 9 years. I hope you’re doing relatively good. Sorry for my absence lately. Hugs xxx -- source link
