Crohn’s Disease

Another update (Crohn’s Disease)

Hey there! Scroll by guys if this post isn’t for you 🙂 … but I wanted to share a little update on my Crohn’s journey and I feel a little bit stuck, so sometimes it’s just good to write about it…

I’ve been patiently waiting for my doctor to get…

This Winter has got me (Crohn’s Disease)…

Here’s a random complaint from me today…

I know, I am whinging about the weather, but this year I am really feeling it. I am struggling with the cold and it’s taking up too much of my energy, literally. I haven’t been overly well for at least the past 18…

Hit the ground running…

School is back and holidays are over. Actually, I am happy to say they weren’t too bad and we got through them unscathed. I woke up yesterday dreading the fast-paced days ahead with school drop-offs, pick-ups and all the after school activity…

But it was time to get back to…

Taking care of everyone also means taking care of you

Since my last bout of illness about 3 months ago (and 2 separate sleepovers in hospital) I have made some subtle changes to what I eat and how I take care of myself. It’s not anything major, just small changes, but yesterday I realised how much it has helped me. I have…

I’ve been feeling under the weather

I’ve been under the weather – fancy not blogging for almost a week! Sorry guys, but I couldn’t bring myself to write anything this week. Last week I started feeling unwell, I knew I had an abscess forming. If you’re new to my blog, I have had crohn’s disease…

8 ways to stay positive when you’re sick

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.

Last week one…

Crohn’s Disease catch up

Hi there! Today I thought I’d catch you up on what’s been going on in my world with Crohn’s disease… and I’m pleased to say not a lot is happening with it at the moment! You know I have shared a lot about my low moments thanks to this…

Still on the road to somewhere

Today I am in Melbourne at St Vincent’s Hospital for another opinion and check up from a gastro doctor and a surgeon. At Easter this year I was septic again (3rd time in 12 months) so my Doctor is a little worried about this happening too often so I’m…

I’m bouncing back…

Hi there! Thanks for popping in…
I just thought I’d give you a run down on my latest medical woes… well, I have a lot of crohn’s followers and I’m an over-sharer, so I am happy to take the good with the bad.. that’s just life! But if you prefer house…

Someone who makes me smile

My son has a little girl in his year who has crohn’s disease and yesterday she turned 11! She was 9 when she was diagnosed. I knew her Mum to say hello to before this, but since finding out she has crohn’s we’ve become good friends.

Now, this is an…

My crohn’s disease 6 months on…

It’s been about 6 months since my last big crohn’s drama. Being healthy for that long is huge for me!

Last time I was sick I wrote about it here. I was toxic and spent 4 days in the high-dependency unit and it took me a good month to really…

We all have our own shit going on

I would love things to be perfect all of the time. I’d love a neat house, happy kids and a steady stream of money. But just as you get some of these things right, there is always something that upsets the apple cart. It’s just life, I know. If…

A chronic illness sux

Living with a chronic illness is the pits. I never normally get down about this flippin’ crohn’s disease, but lately it’s wearing me down! I only just recovered from a drama and today I am feeling awful again. I knew yesterday something wasn’t right. I saw my Mum and…

Life is a roller coaster, that’s for sure

I was thrown a curve ball last week – how typical… just when things were going so well.

Now, I know most of you come to my blog to see my new house and to read about pretty, fluffy things, and to see pictures of my nails and the shopping…

I’m here

I'm still here! I just went in to hiding for a couple of days… I got unwell earlier in the week and went downhill Tuesday night, so the lovely ambulance people took me to hospital to put me out of my misery…

I have an infection somewhere (we're not sure…
