I'm Dana! 24, Spoonie, living with Crohn's disease, and picking up new diagnoses regularly. Always here to talk! ❤️

Sometimes me doing my best equates to me doing nothing at all and I need to accept that it is OK

Reminder

It’s okay to start feeling better on a day you’ve called out sick.

You might be in a cycle of guilts, telling yourself it obviously wasn’t that bad if you’re doing better. That you could have gone in after all. That you were blowing it out of proportion.

No. Stop.

If you’re feeling better, it’s not because you made the wrong choice. It’s because you stayed home and rested.

That’s what the sick day is for. That means it’s working.

How do you tell your friend they’re being ableist

I want to have a civil conversation and say, “you can’t call people in wheelchairs ‘cripples’”

Am I wrong here? What do I do?

Hair loss

Hi my hair is falling out from a bad Crohn’s flare + prednisone. Super disheartening...anyone have any tips?

[crohnicallyill]

Me: I’m so tired all day wow I bet I’ll sleep tonight!

Prednisone @ 2am: nah fam

I was in remission for months and then my reaction to my last infusion somehow brought me out of remission. Positive vibes would be great rn 💕
