Excellent overview on personalized #IBD therapy for #crohnsdisease complications by @MRegueiroMD at #AIBD2024. Take home point: failure of medical therapy is an adverse event that could be serious!
Very nice synopsis on positioning therapies for the management of luminal #crohnsdisease #IBD by @UmaMahadevanIBD at the Advances in IBD #AIBD2024
Taylor swift and the eras tour have gotten me through this year dealing with chronic ulcerative colitis and anemia and I don’t know what I would’ve done without it 🫶🏻✨
Wishing you all a very Happy and Healthy last day of Crohn’s and Colitis Awareness Week!! 💜 8/8

Day 7: Lean on those who love us! Know who your people are, build that support system, and don’t be afraid to ask for help when needed. Remember that those closest to us would love to help. It’s a win-win! 7/8
#CCAwarenessWeek
Day 6: Fatigue is real! Listen to your body and rest when needed. Building rest time into our routine can be helpful. It’s also important to let your IBD team know when your fatigue is not manageable. There might be something they can do to help us! 6/8
#CCAwarenessWeek
Day 5: Peer support is powerful! It's helpful with the isolation that many of us experience while living with IBD. This is not a glamorous disease, and surrounding yourself with others who “get it!” can be helpful. 5/8 #CCAwarenessWeek
Day 4: Don’t be afraid to advocate for yourself. You know your body best! Try to be kind when doing so. It can be challenging when we're not feeling heard, not feeling well, and exhausted. I do believe that we get a lot more with honey than with lemon. 4/8
#CCAwarenessWeek
Day 3: Keep an eye on your mental health. Anxiety, depression, and medical post-traumatic stress are common when managing IBD. Seeking out an IBD mental health professional can be a huge help! 3/8
#CCAwarenessWeek
Day 1: Stay educated—knowledge is power!
Day 2: Pick an IBD specialist that you trust. Be sure to cultivate a relationship with your healthcare team. IBD is a chronic illness, and open communication is important. 2/8 #CCAwarenessWeek
#CCAwarenessWeek2024
Every year we have the unique opportunity to spread awareness, share stories, and celebrate those who live, love, and laugh through the challenges of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

Sending warm hugs! Hang in there!💜
It’s exhausting!!!!!!!!
One day at a time..sometimes one minute at a time!💜
Thanks, Stacey!!💜
Hi! Nice to meet you!💜
Hi to all the fresh & familiar faces here.
I’m doing my part & attempting starter packs for #IBDFamily & #Ostomates. These are who’ve spoken 𝐏𝐔𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐘 about these.
IBD Family: go.bsky.app/9sySUqv
Ostomy Family: go.bsky.app/LYbv12w
If there’s other packs already created, I’m happy to merge.
