Crohn’s Forum

This is just a little post to let you know of some more good things happening.  Recently I was asked to do a monthly post for The Crohn’s Forum’s blog page.  So far there are three others doing post’s for them and many of you will know these names.  They are Jackie from Girls With Guts, Jessica from Uncover Ostomy, and Kathleen from Crohnological Order.

So far all of the post’s I have done for them have been different from what I post on here, and that has been the challenge for me.  As you know, my posting have declined lately.  One of the reasons for that is I don’t know what to talk about.  I have been very busy lately and haven’t had time to focus on my disease.

So, I know I have asked in the past…but what would you want me to talk about.  Are there any topics I haven’t covered that you would want me to talk about?  I am pretty open to anything and as you know, I won’t hold back.  While you think about it, go check out the Crohn’s Forum’s blog site and while you are there check out the rest of the site.  You might meet some new people there and find a new friend.

I do have to say, one really cool thing about their site is their doctor directory.  They have a list of doctors from all over the world with reviews from patients.  If you need to find a new doctor, this can be a great tool for you.

 

IBD Support


In a previous post I had said I was working on some projects and I would let you know what they were when I could.  The first was the IBD prom which sadly, had to be rescheduled to 2015.

The second project I am happy to announce now is a support/meetup group.  I have been working with The Intense Intestines Foundation to organize a support group for the Northern New Jersey area.  Today we have finalized the details.  On May 28th we will hold our first meet up.

Meetup 1

Over the years I have found that CCFA has been losing touch with people with IBD.  I personally asked for a support group to be formed by them in the Northern NJ area but they denied it.  So, when Brian from IIF heard I wanted to start up a group, he asked me to join on to help IIF in bringing groups to the NY, NJ and CT area.  This will be the first of many new groups.

If you actually live in the area and want to come please let me know or email the IIF at Info@IntenseIntestines.org
