Hi everyone! Just figured I'd pop by and introduce myself, as I really do intend to be an active member of the forum...hopefully!
So I've been diagnosed with Crohn's and ulcerative colitis in 2005, after a year of blaming it on endometriosis, what a pain that was.
Luckily I found an amazing doc who diagnosed and followed me through it all since then, I adore him and hope he never retires. I think we can all say it's amazing to have a doctor that remembers tiny details of your non-intestinal life, and with whom you can have edifying conversation about politics and poop.
So far I've been lucky enough to tame the belly beast with meds, diet, a few pred treatments, and at this moment, my Crohn's is sadly active.
Otherwise, I'm a stay at home mom to two amazing little buggers, baby Bea is 4 months, and her big bro Theo's hit the big 3, both my pride and joy, and a source of tons of funnies. And of course, there's the lovely bf, who is incredibly patient to put up with us! lol Seriously, though, by trade, I'm a military historian, but would much rather spend time at home watching my kids grow up as there's always gonna be a yesterday to learn about...I'm that person that has too many interests, and I sure hope to find like minded people that'll "get it" without being grossed out or at a loss as to why I can't eat certain foods.
What else? That rounds it up. Hopefully I'll wind up getting to know more of you guys!!
