Sometimes the world gets rough. Sickness takes over and you feel down in the dumps. We’ve all been sick at some stage and usually it passes with a cold or a bug. But if you do have a long term illness or disease it’s a different challenge. I’ve had Crohn’s Disease…

That’s done (proctectomy!)
I did it, that’s over, thank god. If you’re not sure what this blog post is about, then you can go back and read some of my updates here. I had a completion proctectomy on 1st December, on my own, in Sydney and it wasn’t fun. I have some more…
Around here lately (The 2021 edition so far)
What a year. If you follow me on Instagram you’ll see I’ve had some big changes. I haven’t written at all lately. I just haven’t felt like it. I’ve been pretty guarded and quiet about life because I also haven’t been well. Both physically and mentally. But I’m having a…
I started a new drug
I started a new drug during the week… It went well! But today I just can’t seem to wake up. Maybe it’s just my body adjusting to a new thing, or could be from the sedation I had with a colonoscopy too. Plus the travelling to Sydney. It’s not ideal…
Hiccups (Autoimmune Diseases + Crohn’s) and Updates
I don’t check in here with my Crohn’s as much these days because generally I am pretty well and I manage a lot of my Crohn’s myself… but little hiccups do pop up now and then. I find writing out my issues quite good for my brain. It helps me…
Let’s talk about CBD oil
CBD oil…. Yep, let’s chat about that. Since before Christmas I’ve been talking Cannabidiol Oil. Full disclosure. I am no expert, no medical professional, and I am not a recreational drug taker. Never have been. But I’m all for medicinal products to help me. I’m proactive. Background – I’ve had…
Around here lately
I have not done a catch up on here in ages! I seem to spend most of my time on Instagram stories so then I don’t get a chance to update here. I’ll bullet point some stuff – Lockdown has been good for me. I’m used to being on my…
The never ending Crohn’s Disease symptoms
This post is for anyone who has an auto immune disease…. it’s forever there. You know what it’s like! You look good on the outside and you’re pretty capable of most day-to-day activities but every few weeks something kicks you up the bum and reminds you you still have a…
I can’t live without these supplements
For about 12 months I’d been following the Happy Hormones Facebook group. This is run by Lisa Curry. Head over there and check it out. I have no association with them, nor is this paid. Just sharing the love! I’d read hundreds and hundreds of success stories from women with…
Essential oils for Colitis and Crohn’s Disease
I’ve had Crohn’s disease for 23 years. I have a colostomy bag. So, I’ve had my fair share of rotten times. I know lots about this disease and am pretty confident in talking about my own journey and changes I’ve made to help me feel better. I’m no expert and…
DIY Magnesium oil for adults and children
Magnesium is a vital mineral and I have read that many of us are deficient. Like 50-80%! I thought maybe I was. I’ve had some issues with my ankles over the past month – swollen and aching. It could be residual immune problems from Crohn’s Disease, but I wanted to…
How is 2019 looking for you?
I had a pretty epic 2018. I won’t forget it in a hurry (it’s not done yet though!). I am truly grateful for this year. A lot happened and I discovered a lot about myself. If you visit here often you will know that I had permanent colostomy surgery in…
