Since your weight has fluctuated over the years, do you find any difference in Crohns symptoms at different weights? I’m new to this but since excess fat also increases inflammation I wonder if that makes the symptoms worse since the total inflammation would be higher.

I have everything u mentioned anal fissures are out of control ty real helpful

I had someone tell me i was to young to be disabled even though I was born with a few invisible disabilities and also sustained an injury in the army. my response to him was he was to old to be injured from a mortar, that shut him up in a hurry took him 15 minutes to ask me if i was military then he tried being friendly when i said yes and he claimed he was also military however he never served a day in his life he was known for fabricating stories for attention just to make himself feel better while degrading everyone around him.

In what age did you get chron's?

Celiac disease, Gluten Ataxia, Pernicious anemia, subclinical hypothyroidism. Waiting for another genetic tests such polycytemia vera and hemochromatosis.

Thank you so much for posting this video. I was diagnosed with two fistulas and had setons placed. I'm almost two weeks out of surgery and the pain is horrible.Especially at night. I had a similar experience where the pain was totally fine the first week and then got bad again. I'm worried I might have another abscess as well. Of ource, it's so hard to get a doctor/surgeon to have the time to see you. They're doing a CT scan on me in in 5 days and then a follow up in a week and a half. I don't know if I can deal with this pain for much longer though. I need to take your advice and advocate for myself. Find a way to get in so the surgeon can take a look ASAP. It's been a brutal process both with the pain and the dealing with our medical system, which honestly makes patients feel like they are completely alone during the process.

I used to get remicade but i found out i was allergic to it so now i take stelara😊

Im beside Crohn's have crmo 😊

Hey.. After 5 Weeks I’m Still In Pain I’m 5 weeks in as well and it hurts to stand for long periods of time which is a bummer… please please please give me some advice my fistula is a 12 o’clock

😭

I want to comment on this. But I need some time to collect my thoughts properly on this subject. I will say Richard my deepest condolences on the loses. I do understand. So so much.

HI Barrett, I am so sorry that I missed this WR!!! I can relate in so many ways to this. Fortunately I am so far removed from the grief now that I can see it from the "other side". Like you said to Richard, that you hope his dedication will one day not sting . Well now my grief doesn't sting anymore.... don't get me wrong it has never left me but the pain isn't there anymore. I hope for all those that experience grief and loss that the healing comes fast xxx My love to you Dot xx must catch up for a chat soon xx

❤🎉❤ just got in to Bellingham, oof the traffic!

Barrett thank you for inviting me to this important discussion, which I thought was helpful, thought-provoking and deeply personal. I think this is an important topic that needs to be covered now and in the future. I'm hoping that, as time progresses, I will be able to associate my latest book not (just) with the grief and loss of my friend Dan but as a tribute that serves in remembrance of him. I hope that the discussion we had helps at least 1 other person and then we can call it a win. Writing can and should be very reflective of our own experiences as people but can also be important and valuable means of expressing those feelings and helping to process them. And yes maybe once the complicated emotions (some of which I don't fully understand) I've been processng since Dan's death are fully settled I can then work on scratching the itch that is getting book 3 of this series done!

very nice

I live in Europe (currently Italy) taxes are high but State health care is practically free & completely free for Low-Income folk... I have diabetes so ALL my necessities including blood sugar test-gadget/strips/pens/finger-puncher/insulin hospital visits etc are free (even for NON low incomes coz all chronic illnesses are exempt from payment including asthma mental health & of course Chron's) Ciao🙋🏻‍♀️

Is that dog grossly overweight? That's sad

I little qeustion: don't they clear the lines?

My son and dad had crohns. It’s such a tuff disease. Prayers to you!

Hey as a gay man is it okay to bottom with seton in place??

❤

This is why I hate flying. I spend the entire flight worrying about having an accident. I will try to notify the flight attendants next time in advance of the flight and see if that helps with my stress.

Have you tried... well, no but I guess we can test how deeply your audacity runs vs how thin my patience is... *sigh* there are days people make me roll my eyes so hard I fear I'll throw my back out

This is so cute!! UA-cam > all other social media

Hi i also have poly-autoimmunity! Im sorry your suffering <3 it's interesting to see how you model your strength!! I can manage both of my autoimmune issues through a strict diet, but it's a battle to not get too neurotic about food since it can trigger episodes + send me to the hospital. When I am dealing with bad symptoms I usually let myself rest, and conversely, I show my strength by really tackling 'executive' tasks that I literally cannot do when I have brain fog. That makes me feel like i have control of my brain

That is adorable. 😂 Car karaoke.

Keep sharing, I'm following your journey and this is outstanding information. I'm totally in the "admit defeat" camp but definitely makes sense to keep appealing!

I get my nails done and pedicures, walks, put noise canceling 🎧 on and sing at the top of my lungs... long baths with Epsom salt

Thanks for posting this, I feel seen as a fat crohnie and haven’t found many people of places to relate to on that.

Wasn’t sure if that screeching noise at the start was your garage door or your hips. 😜

👍🏾🙆🏽‍♀️🙂

Hot tub and sauna at the gym.

I do a bit of the opposite. I try to learn new things and read more when I sense I have a challenge ahead. I learn everything about that challenge and then I tackle in whatever way I can. Something we do share in common is to always keep gratitude present every single day.

I relate to jumping into something physical to get through adversity so much. When I was first diagnosed, I was in college and in a sorority, and we did a lot of step shows, and won a lot of trophies. Not to brag, but I stepped harder than most because I had something to prove to myself. My body might have been actively trying to kill me, but I was going to clap, stomp, and step her into submission lol, to prove to myself that I am stronger than I thought I was. Love you, Barrett! Your vlogs always hit home for me. Even through plaque psoriasis you are stronger than you think! 💜

Wow, very inspiring. Every time my thyroid crashes, first I get more depressed (which handily is part of thyroid problems), then I let it be okay to lie down more often, and let my weight hover and be happy with that....okay, not be frustrated and angry with that...LOL

This was so good, Barrett. For me its about getting out and wheeling. Pushing myself a little figuratively and literally 😅

The best way to show the people who support your gratitude is by offering a helping hand when they need it. But Kudos to you because I could not have moved been 1/8 of that amount of firewood lmao. Now would I have tried - Yes!!! Because I also like proving to myself that I can lol. Will these gems be featured in the Working With Disabilities book, because "Adversity is your biggest teacher" needs to be on a shirt!

I took on a month of animal flow classes last fall when confronted with disappointment and it helped, but is unaffordable going forward... great topic and wishing you wellness in your soul to accept the new situation. 💕

What do I do to overcome adversity?? What, retreating into historical romance novels doesn't work?!

Lumber before breakfast isn't the "morning wood" any of us were expecting... 😂

I FEEL THIS SOOO MUCH!!! Jumps through screen to hug you guys. I jump into mental things to keep my challenged and show capabilties. Though I've had the inadverted physical ones lol. You are going to be fine, you're discovering something little by little. Plaque psoriasis is definitely heriditary so it was probably set in motion to activate. My grandpa's mothers line I think several family members actually had it when they were living.. Man it brings back memories of using tar smelly shampoos when it flared in my hair..

Whoa, this is intense for me when I am feeling at my best. Not sure if this method would work for me. I think I would need time to feel bummed and process. Then I would need to come up with a plan before I could crawl out of my hole! Way to go. I really liked this style. More vids like this please.

Helping your mom and a workout. <3

You've been fighting do long for this! ❤So happy for you!

A freaking men!

-Crohns and plaque psoriasis also.No- not as fun as polyamory 😂❤❤❤

My whole live docters said i need to loose weight, now i need to gain weight becaus it's dangerous for my remicade dosis.

Me too! I told them I had enough and no longer wanted additional auto immune diseases, but no one listened
