You Might Be A Crohnie...

If you can just LOOK at food and tell how long it'll take from the time you eat it until you have to go to the bathroom
....you might be a Crohnie

Remicade: Day 666

Today I thought I would bring my laptop with me to my infusion.
I noticed that today is the 666th day of Remicade.....interesting.....no problems so far today.  The needle went in smooth (thanks to 15 minutes with the heating pad on my hand, plumping up the old veins)
I have my "infusion day" shirt on........


Had another lady in here see it and want one.....so I'm thinking maybe I should start taking orders and send proceeds to the Crohn's and Colitis Foundations.....hmmmmm


Time to rest now.....

Crohnie Quote Of The Day

When talking with someone, either on the phone or in person, and you tell them that you have to go because you need to go to the washroom......it's not "code" for 'please, keep talking'

Crohns Blogs

A big "Thank you" shout out to Healthline.com for voting this blog as one of the 12 Best Crohns Disease Blogs of The Year for 2014. 


"Vern is a self-described "Crohnie" whose blog, Leaving the Seat Down, is frequently updated and also frequently entertaining. If you’re Crohnie-curious, his "You Might Be A Crohnie" section is a must-read. Like much of the rest of the blog, it’s also very funny.
Vern's ability to continue rocking with whatever Crohn's rolls his way is truly inspirational. He started painting in 2010 as a form of art therapy, and you can enjoy many of his paintings on the site."


I am once again, humbled and honored to be selected amongst my fellow Crohns bloggers.
I'm glad to be able to help, as we all need it.


Thanks Healthline !!

You Might Be A Crohnie...

If after going to the bathroom, you come out, exhausted and out of breath like you just ran a marathon
...you might be a Crohnie
