Look for Help
If you or someone you know is going through a medical crisis, seek help through medical services.
An Outsider wanting to help
Crohn’s disease is an invisible illness. When being around people with Crohn’s, remember you cannot see what they are going through from the outside. Please be sympathetic and patient towards Crohn’s patients. If you have Crohn’s disease, help people around you understand where your mental state is. Your friends and family want to be able to help you. Be flexible and patient with yourself when it comes to social interactions. Crohn’s is truly an exhausting disease, and mental health should always be prioritized. Do not be afraid to cancel plans.
Finding a Good Doctor
Sometimes there is more to finding the correct doctor than qualification. Often patients with Crohn’s disease have to switch doctors because of unmet standards. A trusted relationship should be the number one priority when finding a doctor. Do research on gastrointestinal healthcare in your area before fully committing yourself to one doctor. With recent technology you are able to read about the ratings of healthcare providers near you.
Find your People
The most important thing in maintaining healthy living with chronic illness is being aware of your surroundings. Only allow yourself to be around people who make you happy and allow you to flourish in your everyday life.
