I've been out of here for a while now, only running on queue. I've been in the hospital for 20 days and counting. Chronic illnesses are a pain in the ass, but I'm stronger than it!

this design is dedicated to ME

but also to all other people with some chronic illness that is not exactly thriving all the time  

I’ll go back to regular posting soon enough but this had to be done. Link in the source!

Ita tomorrow/in italiano domani: my new collection "DIFFERENTLY HEALTHY" on Redbubble, Teespring and Threadless! You should check them out because each of them has some special objects no one else has + *sales* all over + in my Teespring shop you can use the code KALISEPT 10% off until October + on Threadless I give 5% of my earnings to a different cause for each product.

What to say? This collection was very important to me as I'm chronically sick and try to put humor in everything, and funnily enough I *was* slowed down by my body disintegrating for a few days. So of course I missed my own deadline for posting it. But still, I started and I'll keep adding designs as I go, depending on when inspiration hits.

Some things you will find everywhere, like apparel, mugs, home decor, but when it comes to “unique” things: on Teespring you get to pick among many background-colors plus you get the cute round hats, yoga mats (irony), bike short, tumblers, all kinds of stickers and more. On Threadless shoes, shirts that I can personalize giving their sleeves a different color, different types of bags, skateboards; Redbubble offers clocks, leggings, baseball hats, dresses. And I know I’m forgetting lots of unique stuff on top of the typical kind. 

in the source a link to the post with all my shops and stuff

-reblog to help out a sister, but also if you are already buying on teespring consider adding even just a sticker from my stuff, a few sales and I can appear in the marketplace!

Inflammatory Bowel Disease

http://www.ccfa.org/what-are-crohns-and-colitis/what-is-crohns-disease/Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of inflammatory conditions of the colon and small intestine. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are the principal types of inflammatory bowel disease.

Here’s the difference :

both of them are chronic & autoimmune disease, Normally, the cells and proteins that make up the immune system protect you from infection. In people with IBD, however, the immune system mistakes food, bacteria, and other materials in the intestine for foreign or invading substances. When this happens, the body sends white blood cells into the lining of the intestines, where they produce chronic inflammation and ulcerations.

and for the ulcerative colitis, there are 3 categories :
