Welcome to The Porcelain Ponderer! My name is Kara Godin, and I have been dealing with Inflammatory Bowel Disease for 11 years now. I was initally diagnosed with Rectal Proctitis in 2006, and for a very long time, it was a non-issue: easily medicated with Salofalk as necessary and with occasional check-ups, I often forgot I even had a disease.
In September of 2015, my life changed forever. I would soon discover that I had rip-roaring Crohns, and would be stumbling down a path that I had always feared. I'm hoping that this Blog will help raise awareness about Inflammatory Bowel Disease and that I can help support people who are struggling similarly. So please, stumble along with me, and together we can figure out how to be healthy, happy and well.
Hello Kara my husband has been dealing with SEVERE IBS and we are going to the Mayo Clinic in the States for more answers as the Doctors here in MB have washed there hands on what to do it is very sad to see someone go threw this especially when you love the person to the moon and back and have a 10 yr old daughter. Im here threw this journey with you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment! I have a friend who has gone through a lot with IBS - it was very debilitating for him. I'm sorry to hear that you're going through this, especially when you also have a child to care for! Sometimes it's difficult to say whether this kind of thing is harder for the the person dealing with it directly or their loved ones. Keep fighting the heroic fight and the best of luck to your family! We're in this together. Peace.
