This week I haven’t been feeling so great. It’s just the way it goes unfortunately. I was feeling ok, I’d started new trial drugs and on the last appointment I had nothing to tell my Doctor’s because I was feeling pretty good. In this past week I’ve lost 3kg. That’s how quick crohn’s can grab hold. I don’t want to eat when I’m sick because food is painful when it moves through you – but on the other hand I’m starving. Plus losing weight that fast is not good and you can become dehydrated. I lose concentration easily and I’m so cranky.
However, I’ve had this for almost 17 years, so I know how far I can go and how to manage it. I’ll stay close to home for the next few days and take it easy. If I get to the point where I can’t handle it, I always have some steroids on hand (which I hate and normally avoid like the plague!).
In the meantime, check me out on these posters! Yes, yes yes it’s leopard print – I know. I had these photos taken a few months ago and probably didn’t think it through enough with the animal-print idea! It’s all I wear 🙂 Don’t worry, there will be a new phase of something coming through soon. It always does – I’m fickle.
The posters were printed by my husband’s business and they will be distributed throughout hospitals and Doctor’s waiting rooms. You may see them around! Poster girl! I’ve already had some messages saying people are seeing them around.
