10 Things IBD taught me
1. Be patient
Doesn't everyone has to learn that at some point? Yes and no! All life long we are waiting for sth.. Waiting at the cash register, waiting for the big love, waiting for an exam, waiting, waiting, waiting.
Ileostomy reversal - My experience
Ileostomy or ileostomy reversal surgery? There are a variety of reasons for having a stoma, a variety of types of stoma, and so some people have the possibility to reverse the stoma.
Dating with IBD
- I have IBD , do you still think i am hot?
Isn't dating complicated anyway in todays society? Getting to know someone in a simple way is almost impssible these days and this refers to people without any visible or invisible disability Having an invisible or even visible limitation doesn't make the whole thing easier. What is "normal"?
When friends turn away ....
Recently a young man came to me and was depressed and disappointed because since his diagnosis a few months ago, many "friends" have turned away thinking that his illness is contagious. Others mocked him and made fun of his diarrhea ..... People he thought he could rely on. This reminded me of my time after my diagnose, but now I'm no longer upset when people turn away. I do not waste any unnecessary strength and time trying to maintain friendships, because in the end they are not permanent.
Fatigue - Chronic Tiredness....
The term "fatigue" was derived from the state and use of language and after measure or exhaustion. According to this, the fatigue syndrome challenges itself through a persistent feeling of exhaustion and listlessness, which does not go away even after a lot of sleep and rest. The life of those affected will lead through the permanent, extreme weariness. Often this is related to a lack of sleep or laziness.
