#CrohnsAndColitisAwarenessWeek

[meepmopgorpmorp]

This month marks my year anniversary of my Crohn’s diagnosis, as well as the same month as Crohn’s and Colitis Awareness week. It’s very important to understand that IBD isn’t just a disorder that makes you poop, it can affect quite literally a good amount of other parts of your body!

Crohn’s disease has caused me a lot of pain this year, from having to switch from public school to home school, (way before covid even got to where I live) to painful procedures that will probably be stuck with me up until I get into therapy to cope with it.

However, one of the main ways I’m trying to cope for now is using my own chacters, so I don’t have to feel as alone as I do. IBD can be really isolating at times, so being able to see my own struggles through pictures and stories can be make me and hopefully many others feel less alone.

I really want others to know that are struggling and feel alone, that it’s okay to feel that, and if you ever feel like you may need to reach out to someone dealing with the same issues, my DMs are always open and I’m willing to listen ❤️

To conclude #crohnsandcolitisawarenessweek I present this scientific fact. A lot of chronically ill people don't like to be called "inspirational," which I get. We're people with our own lives and we don't exist to be someone else's inspiration porn. But we're also badass. Living when your body doesn't body right is HARD so do give us our proper credit. #crohnsdisease #ulcerativecolitis #chronicillness https://www.instagram.com/p/B5yjigqAPTF/?igshid=7mtrve8regx4

Posted @withregram • @allontheboard It’s Crohn’s & Colitis Awareness Week (1st Dec-7th Dec). It takes guts to talk about Crohn’s and Colitis, but we can do it and break the stigma. @allontheboard #CrohnsAndColitisAwarenessWeek #CrohnsAndColitis #Crohns #Colitis #ItTakesGuts #allontheboard https://www.instagram.com/p/CIQNhV-BX4k/?igshid=1got7x2ed73mb

— IBD AWARENESS — • • Strength! 💪🏻 • • Yes, I know IBD Awareness Week has been over for 3 days... but I missed out on the last day because I was busy having a meltdown over running out of lights for our Christmas tree... 😂 • • Looking back at where I was 5 years ago... I had just quit a job baking/doing what I love most because my body wasn’t allowing me to do it. I couldn’t stand on my feet for a whole day, I wasn’t able to withstand the hot to cold of a kitchen to the freezers or coolers. My Crohn’s was trying to rob me of everything I had worked so hard to achieve. • • But look at me now! 💁🏻��♀️ • • I am working towards a business of my own baking cakes for birthdays, weddings, etc. I am working a full time job. I am graduating with a Bachelors degree in business management in 11 days. I am on a committee for an event I’m passionate about. I am doing everything and WAY more than I could have even imagined 5 years ago. 💜 • • And even though Crohn’s tried to rob me of the things I love most, it also taught me my own strength and that I am capable of overcoming those obstacles. It taught me how resilient I am. It taught me to not give up. • • So keep on fighting IBD warriors, we’ve totally got this!💜💜 . . . . . . . . #crohns #ibdawareness #ibdvisible #ibdawarenessweek #ibdwarrior #ibd #crohnie #ccawarenessweek #crohnsdisease #crohnswarrior #crohnsandcolitisawarenessweek #crohnsawareness #crohnsandcolitis #colitis #ulcerativecolitis #spoonie #invisibleillness #invisibleillnessawareness #invisibleillnesswarrior #chronicillness #chronicillnesswarrior #strength #quotes #quotesofinstagram #quoteoftheday #strong #warrior https://www.instagram.com/p/B55lvLUgGoS/?igshid=1w8he4u4zacn5

Crohns and Ulcerative Colitis Week December 1st-7th. On giving Tuesday, if you are pondering a cause to donate to, this is a cause near and dear to my daughter @lexa.mayy and myself. Eleni Alexa was diagnosed in May 2017 and everything changed. This disease can be mild to severe. The symptoms are extreme and difficult to manage. No cure is available. The drugs they prescribe can sometimes do more harm than good. The side effects of the drugs are potentially life threatening. The treatments and surgeries to "HELP" are extreme, dangerous and stigmatized. Right now everything is trial and error. The patient's are the research subjects. The disease and the drugs to treat the disease greatly increase your risk for colorectal cancer. Right now colorectal cancer is the second highest diagnosed cancer in the USA. We need to find a cure for IBD and for Colorectal Cancer! @crohnscolitisfoundation @crohns_colitis_awareness #ibdawareness #crohnsdisease #crohnswarrior #ulcerativecolitis #ibdwarrior #ulcerativecolitiswarrior #crohnsandcolitis #crohnsandcolitisawarenessweek #ibdawarenessweek https://www.instagram.com/p/B5nwPvLAcoF7-vfdMjEUAbtCaED2FWzyUw3vI40/?igshid=qp73efxn2ngu

💜#Crohnsandcolitisawarenessweek 💜 You are the director of the movie of your life. For energy flows where focus goes. I understand first hand how difficult a body riddled with perceived disease can be. I lived in the shadow of the light for a long time. It is up to you to be brave enough, maleable enough and open to change nearly everything about your life that you think you know, in order to heal. There is a hige stigma in the world that once you are diagnosed with a "chronic illness" there is no healing from it ever... All I can say is this is true but only if you attach to that as your truth. I never truly thought I'd ever feel better again or heal from #crohnsdisease ... However as I open my awareness and change my thoughts and actions therefor, I realize that the path for healing has always been there. God has been introducing me time and time again to the tools that will rid this temple of skin of ailment that causes such debilitation. We are all learning different lessons in our journeys as souls through this matrix called life ~ and for someone with a diagnosis one of the most powerful things you can do is take back your life and rewrite the script. I have made major changes in my world lately and energy alone can and will change everything for the better or the worst (depending on the vibrations you choose). For me a combination of going #vegan and transitioning into #fruitarianism , #kundaliniyoga #mantrameditation , #ricksimpsonoil , and #seamoss is what is healing my body, mind and soul. I am changing my thought patterns which are the root to the sad plant I cocreated with creation for so long. Now I am feeling better than I ever have (prediagnosis even), working a full time job and living my life. I was on the brink last year of death due to Crohn's and yet here I am now. Only one year later. Only 2 months into veganism and transitioning to fruitarianism... Only just now introducing seamoss and reintroducing #RSO .I look forward to the blessings ahead and to being off western medication completely. Think: Big pharma makes money off your illness , they are linked up with the food industry, now go research the ingredients you put in your body.

Up early to get set up with two new doctors & mid-day PT. That doc routine always takes it outta me. As it turns out there's some #'s relevant to me today, so I guess I'll throw 'em down in solidarity #InternationalDisabilityDay #CrohnsAndColitisAwarenessWeek 🔥💜🤘💀🤘💜🔥 (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5pB4rZh9pE/?igshid=1p5vyzdcdhizx

It's nearing the end of #crohnsandcolitisawarenessweek and I'm running out of soap boxes but please show some kindness to your local Crohnie or other chronically ill person who has to take Prednisone. Not only are the side effects horrible (mood swings, chipmunk cheeks, a ravenous appetite that no amount of snacks can tame), but it tastes like when you accidentally spray perfume in your mouth. I don't know how they managed to capture that taste and put it in a pill but God. It does a great job of easing your symptoms, but at what cost? #prednisone #crohnsdisease #ulcerativecolitis https://www.instagram.com/p/B5vk-_Agt-L/?igshid=1vt8zs9qlizjx

@Regran_ed from @sahara88uk - We're highlighting #IBD #symptoms this #CrohnsAndColitisAwarenessWeek, in a bid to help raise #awareness & educate the masses! IBD related #fatigue is common amongst #InflammatoryBowelDisease sufferers & is another one of the many invisible symptoms that is difficult to control & live with on a frequent basis. It not only makes the sufferer feel physically tired, but also mentally exhausted, often difficult to concentrate & function normally. #IBDSuperHeroes #Cure #Crohns #Colitis #IBDawareness #IBDlife #CrohnsDisease #UlcerativeColitis #IBDawareness #IBDAwarenessWeek — view on Instagram https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/vp/5c453b1ba34b6d3a0fd053cccfbcf2ac/5C8C8163/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/s640x640/46687889_1808421092600804_9126913727229004038_n.jpg
