As a Crohn's Disease warrior (never sufferer) I completely understand and support this awareness campaign. My symptoms are very much internal and you can't always tell how I am feeling from my attitude. I try very hard to not burden others with my pain. I know a lot of people who could never handle my daily struggles. One time when I was in the middle of a flare I ran into someone at a store and later on that day my mom was talking to that person on the phone and that person could not believe that I was really that ill when they saw me. I try to hide it very well.
This week is very important to me and in honour of it I am going to try to do a different health/something you may not know about Crohn's Disease post every night.
Keep fighting the invisible fight!
