Just found out that it’s Crohn’s and Colitis awareness week. The Senate said so and everything. I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis exactly 3 years ago. Like other chronic inflammation diseases it’s a painful, life-altering, not fully understood bum out. Also, it affects every person differently so I’m always blazing my own trail of medications, supplements and diet. Thankfully I can do almost everything I could before — most of the time. It’s always there waiting to floor me though.
