Day 3 at the Crohn's & Colitis Congress had a session on early surgery in IBD and I was excited to hear how surgery and treatment with medicine compared!

@AaronBlocker_ Man, your photographer is fantastic! :D

I never realized how complicated #strictures are and how much is actually known about them! Because they are complex, there treatment can be too!

Learned a bit about small molecule IBD meds like the JAK inhibitors and S1P receptor molecules (oral medications patients have an easier time taking)!

When it comes to IBD medications, there are many reasons a patient might want to stop them. They are now taking a look at how this affects a patient's disease and how often a person will flare!

Perianal disease really takes over your life, which is why I was thrilled at how recommendations for discovering, monitoring, and treating it are advancing!

Learning about the vigorous FDA approval process for biosimilars and the amount of treatments currently available (and those to come) really is uplifting to me. Every day I'm thankful for remission, but also grateful to have options should I need them!

When a weekend vlog goes a little awry due to some bad food. 🤣 Still a great weekend though!

Here is my attempt at showing my Humira injection... with dogs and a husband 🤣

I wanted to do a voice over telling you exactly what I'm doing but this is the best I could do.

I have been wanting this for YEARS and I finally purchased it!

High waisted pants just don't work well with my ostomy. I'm hoping this is the answer!

Have you ever tried to change an ostomy bag with an active stoma? I remember sitting in the bathtub for HOURS after surgery, just waiting for my stoma to calm down. I wish I knew these methods back then - it could have saved me some time!
