2019 update

So im waiting on my keyboard to come in so I can really blog. It is so hard to do on a phone!

I feel like my Crohn's is the same. Same diarrhea, same pain. No change. My spondylitis is so bad. My sciatica is always hurting. Stelara isnt helping. I go to physical therapy once a week and it helps but after a day, im back in excruciating pain. But ill accept that day. It's better than nothing! Dry needling and massage is a god send. I highly recommend needling or acupuncture. You can actually immediately feel the difference! I get severe pain in my legs and this helps me be able to walk better. I love it!

As soon as my keyboard comes in, my posts should be much better and frequent!

Information on Crohn’s and Stress

Improve Your Lifestyle

Getting adequate exercise, eating a healthy diet, and kicking any tobacco habits can make the symptoms of Crohn’s disease easier to handle. Because Crohn’s can make nutrient absorption difficult, it’s also important to get adequate doses of vitamins and nutrients to make up for any lost due to malabsorption.

Stress and anxiety can also make the symptoms of Crohn’s disease worse. Stress can also trigger flare-ups. When you have an increased level of stress, your body’s normal processes can’t run properly. This includes your digestive tract. Stress can trigger symptoms or make existing ones worse. Finding a healthy way to handle daily stress, whether it’s through exercise, yoga, or talk therapy, is vitally important to increasing the number of days you’re in remission and symptom-free.

Quitting Smoking with Crohn’s

Crohn’s patients who smoke put themselves in jeopardy for increasing the severity of their symptoms.
