While the attention Crohn's disease (and other similar conditions) have received has increased, many people still have misconceptions about what Crohn's is and what it means to be suffering from it.
Often times, because our condition plays such a big role in our life, we tend to bring it up or allude to it in conversation (even when talking to people we do not know that well!)
I find that when people find out I have crohn's they are very interested. Humans are curious by nature! I enjoy educating people about how Crohn's affects me. I find that many people have a relative, or know of someone who is dealing with a similar disease. As I am now doing quite well and having few issues regarding my Crohn's, I like serving as an example that you can get better!
How do you explain your condition to others. How do they usually react?
