Fighting Crohn's Disease like a BAD ASS for 27 years ;) This is me. Sometimes I dream of a different life- a healthier one. But then I wouldn't be me! Who wants that? I am stronger than my disease. It does not define who I am. It has helped me become a better person, helped shape my character and I am okay with that at 42 years young. I am an ECE Teacher ( currently unemployed 😢). I posh to survive 💛 thanks PFFs!

@erika75, hon, you have an awesome closet, it's my pleasure to share for you. Don't overdo your sharing, Your health is most important. I hope you feel better soon. Renee
erika75
@pinpoint Thank you Renee, I have been out of the loop for a few days, slowly feeling a bit better, Posh has really become an addiction, and I do have a lot of time on my hands, so it helps with that also. I just sit up in my bed on my bad days and share away. It's my pleasure, thank you so much for reaching out. Erika :)
pinpoint
@erika75, oh hon, I'm in nearly the same boat (my last bout of severe depression lasted 2 weeks). Do the minimum that you can to get by. You can write me anytime, especially if you're feeling seriously down (you know what I mean). Take care of yourself ok?

lcooke
@erika75 hi Erika. Jayne is very tired & having some adjustment to her meds. She always says she'll be quiet for a while so I don't worry too much. Having said that, I do still worry 😥. Thanks for asking about her, you're s good friend. I have texted her to pass your message on as she's not answering the phone yet. I hope you are feeling okay Luv. 😘
leoninus
@erika75 Oh, sweetheart, I'm so sorry you're suffering from this illness. My beloved grandmother who raised me suffered from the same. 😔🌷💜
lcooke
@erika75 just checking on you. How are you doing? Love ya ❤️❤️
erika75
@lcooke hi there!! Thanks for the update on Jayne, I didn't want to be annoying. It's amazing how we can care for others that we've never met!! 🌹 In some cases, they care more than people in our every day lives it seems. Compassion is FREE ❤. I am having a better day than yesterday!! That's a positive huh!! Thanks for checking in. Lots of love to you
lcooke
@erika75 I'm glad you are having a better day, I hope it continues & you can have a wonderful weekend. I'm always touched by people's concern about my family, so never, ever think I would find that annoying. You are a sweet person & it's a pleasure to know you. You are right about getting to know people we have never met. The weird thing is it's as though you've always known each other. I truly believe we are sent into each other's lives for a purpose & they into ours. So, thank you for coming into Jaynes & my life. 😘😘

Hello! Sorry to hear you are sick you'll b in my prayers n I'll share your closet ! Stay strong n keep the faith my brother has been fighting three types of cancer for ten years n still fighting the fight :) I feel for you hope today is a great day for you blessings 🙏😃💕
erika75
@sugarspyce aww, thank you so much for reaching out. 🌺. Made me smile ;). I am sorry your brother is going through all of that, sounds like a,warrior to me- I can only hope to gain strength and wisdom from the stories of others, that's for sure. Hugs to you

@mountainwriter Hi there :) thanks for the welcome!! 🌼
erika75
@faflene i can't keep up with you!! It's like a suspense novel on your end!!! Lmao. Love ya!!!
lcooke
@erika75 I know what you mean about being crazy with the sharing groups. I love it, but give me anything extra to focus on and I get confused.....LOL!! I hope you are feeling good today oxoxoxoxo
erika75
@lcooke it's too funny!! I'm glad you introduced me to one of them 🌺 thanks for always checking in!! I just Found out I have some food allergies, HAD NO CLUE!! so hopefully with a gradual diet change, i will feel less lethargic every day 😞 lots of love!! ❤
lcooke
@erika75 Im not surprised about the food allergy, I have a huge problem with carbs. My poor body flares up so bad that I feel 20 years older some days. I wonder how I managed to work because there are days when I have to take a long siesta or I can't function and Im not sure which part of my body hurts more. Ive not been diagnosed but years ago they said I had fibrositis which now comes under the umbrella of fibromyalgia.I have noted that a lot of those days are after eating junk carbs. Growing up it was meat and veggies and hardly any breads etc. Of course they didn't put all the bad stuff into our food like they do today. I do hope you will start to have more energy which will make life much easier and more enjoyable for you. oxoxoxo
abstractdreams
Do you have support? I know another Posher who also fighting this disease. She's had it for many years. I could introduce you two (if you don't know her already), she may have coping strategies that could help. Lmk if you think that might be a good thing...👍💋

Hugs to ALL my Posh sister's 😄
I especially want to lift my lil shugah @blueskyaction Sarah up as she's in the hospital right now..Praying for the medical staff that's caring for her as well and that they receive the wisdom from our Lord to keep her comfortable.

@erika75 I also have an invisible illness - fibro. It's reasonably well managed but of course there are tradeoffs. Good luck, I wish you all the best!

@livianna Hi Ann :) Thank you so much for reaching out and your kind words. I am wishing you the best as well- we do the best we can with what we have right??? Gentle hugs to you

I send out prayers to you. I know what it's like to have an invisible illness. I have fibromyalgia , RA, Hoshimotos, and a host of other autoimmune diseases. My 7 yr old was just dx with severe Chrons last yr, I am sitting while she is getting her IV now in Manhattan . Posh has been a fun escape , feel good, happy poshing!!!!
erika75
@butterflyrae Hi Melissa!!! Thank you so much for reaching out. My heart truly goes out to you and your 7 year old. When you get one autoimmune disease- it seems you get like 5 more added on.. it's a daily struggle, but we are fighters. We fight- that is what we do. I've lost a lot. But I've also gained a deeper compassion for others and a strength that surprises me as each year passes
erika75
@butterflyrae ..Thank you for your prayers, I send healing hugs to you. Your 7 year old is so very brave. Posh has helped me escape also, thank you for finding me!!! Erika

Hello my sweet pff angels :) Thank you so much for checking in and taking a moment to leave a message <3 Thank you for your prayers as well. I fought with the drs to discharge me today. I have a small bowel obstruction- they foresee another surgery in my near future. I need a few more days at home of rest and only liquids. See how it goes! I've missed all of you!!! **We are all battling something!!! Keep on FIGHTING <3

Erika I know more about SBOs & LBOs than I'd like to admit lol. Seriously though, during my internal med rotation elective I had 2 cases and was so determined to understand how that happens, how to prevent it, n treat it. I ended up doing an hour presentation to the entire department on bowel obstructions! Hopefully it resolves soon & you don't need surgery. I'm actually very surprised they d/c you... Hmmm even if you fought for it. It can be very dangerous. Doesn't make sense.
erika75
@pre_pa514 i will message you in another listing sometime this week 🌷 they put me through hell this time around. We can chat ❤
pearlyshells2
I'm happy you are home. I am learning about this C- thing, The other nite i was in pain. Thought I had SBO! It passed-ate apples that day so that was really weird. The pain was worst, at 2am😢
It felt like labor pains only 10x. Do you have to have special diet? Thanks for sharing, we learn from you and others who suffer fr C.
Take care now.
belleplaid
Sweetie, I wish you all the best!! I can't imagine what you are going through, but rest, relax, and know that you have an amazing support system of PFFs here! I hope you're feeling better soon!
erika75
@pearlyshells2 hi- I I have never had labor pains- but it feels like my intestines were set on fire and continuously stabbed over and over and over again. it fools you- disappears for about 5 minutes, then it strikes again. like maybe trying to pass a coconut through a very thin straw... Such an ugly, evil disease. I am sorry you had that kind of episode.
erika75
Excruciating pain. hope you are better? If I am having an obstruction, no food or liquid for awhile. Slowly add in clear liquid..then full liquids, then a low residue diet. Apples would be a definite no-no. If you have any questions please feel free to tag me my pff. Hugs to you!!
erika75
@belleplaid thank you for reaching out, it means a lot. I've come across the most caring women on posh. I am trying my best to rest but these meds make me wired!! I am wearing myself thin lol. aye ya yay!!!! Hopefully I am myself by next week. xoxo
pearlyshells2
@erika75 wow, what ever I had was so painful. I read your post to belleplaid and why no apples? I ate apples that day and then I had the pains in the evening. I guess no yogurt for you too? Geesh its like starving and then so weak, so sorry you have this happen to you.

@erika75 ❤️🌻🌼🌴🌈🍉🌿🌞🌸🌱🍓🌻❤️ I hope that it helps to know that you are not alone, others here have Crohns specifically, and some of us have different unseen illnesses ~ but we are a family, a caring, supportive and uplifting one! ❤️ When one of us is hurting, we all want to be there for that person and let them know that we care! ❤️ You are courageous to see that some of the struggles you've been through have helped shaped you into the strong woman who you are!! 💕~Nia XOXOXO

@erika75 Am glad that you shared your health status. I too have an incurable disease that is not seen. CSS! But I keep on going until I can't ❤️🙏🏼 Bless you my friend!!! Know you are not alone.
erika75
@thehuntress792 hi 😆 thank you so much for stopping by and leaving such a kind,hearted message. I love reading them!! Please tell me a little more about CSS if you don't mind?? :) - erika
macsgal2010
@erika75 Amen my friend! I know what it is to be a warrior...I travel my journey with A.S. which causes other diseases, as well as Crohns...it is one of the new "sub diseases" I've just been diagnosed with! I have 2 pages thus far of diagnoses.
My heart goes out to you! You are in my prayers. @thehuntress792 you are in my prayers as well...its very difficult to have a chronic untreatable illness, but when 98% of the population, including doctors, hardly know anything about your disease...
macsgal2010
@erika75 that makes it almost impossible to keep going but we must! We are here for the next generation. So hopefully they won't have to suffer as much as we do!
They call me Miss Google because I Google everything. Since I was diagnosed, I've had no choice. If you don't mind...I would be very interested in learning from you what CSS is.
macsgal2010
@erika75 A.S. stands for ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS
I PRAY for you both. Please do not let your disease define you...continue on your journey as a warrior! If you ever need to talk, vent, scream etc...Please let me know...we all are walking our own path but we live under the same roof! With all my heart...Lucy

Hi! My daughter was diagnosed when she was in 8th grade. She was in and out of the hospital until she graduated college. She is 28, nursing supervisor (RN) at a major Atlanta hosp., & she is about 8 wk from giving us our 1st grand baby!
erika75
@artsie_1 hi 💌 amazing accomplishments, knowing how this disease can turn your life upside down at any moment. I admire your daughter 💜 She's an inspiration that's for sure!! Congrats soon to be grandma & hugs to your daughter. Thank you for sharing 💜
artsie_1
@erika75 You are so sweet. We worked with CCFA for so many years. We hosted a local walk 2 yr in a row. She went to their camp when she was younger. After she turned 28, she worked as a councilor. She was always open with people as to the symptoms and such. Education!!!
shugahs
@erika75 Hey Shugah, I'm still praying for your healing and strength. Hugs to you my sister from another Mother💞⚘

jacomom1
I am so sorry you have been battling this disease for so long. I know how much you desire to have your life back! I struggle every day with chronic pain from severe osteoarthritis and back and knee problems. I am nearly bed ridden and it's a progressive disease for me. I think you are a courageous woman who chooses to fight with everything you got to educate people and make them aware of this disease. Keep up the right fight! 😊🌴I am with you in spirit! Thank Sharon
erika75

Tears, and gentle hugs from me to you. Poshing has helped me get out of my head somewhat and I find the best part is meeting wonderful women like you.
flashnfashnista
Hi Erika! You are a bad ass champion, for real! Isn't it crazy.. You'll be cruising through life temporarily thinking things are good.. And then life throws you a curve ball. Guess that's it's way of keeping us honest. Hope you currently are feeling OK. You know I think you are just all around fabulous! Glad I've gotten to know you😘
abstractdreams
Praying that today's a good day.❣

fedup805
Just read ur post, I have the same and just want you to know mine got alot better when they removed about 16 inches of intestines that were scarred etc from adhesions and ever since it's 80% better. Ask Dr if it's an option in ur case. I'll pray for you and it gets better once ur diet and meds are working. Posh is great for us, no one knows we're in restroom half of the time.
erika75
@fedup805 hi! You gave away my poshing secret! 🤣 when dooty calls, we can always posh! Any hour 😝 so yea, I had surgery in 02'. Took large amts of my small intestine and resected. I was good for a long time. Well 'good' in our terms. 🤔 (continued)
erika75
@fedup805 I am definitely in and out of ER, short hospital stays, switched drs...so as of now- my insurance isn't covering the meds I need. Looking for alternative meds. Sigh.fall down 7, get up 8! Thank you for sharing with me! Maybe we could chat elsewhere on Posh. Could use a Crohn's Warrior in my life 💜💜
sammy
@erika75 hi my friend. How are u feeling? It's been a long time. I've been busy making major changes in my life or trying. I miss you. Call me!!! Let's catch up! Sorry ur not working either. Are u getting by OK? I'm not selling anything on here. I'm gonna quit by next yr if not sooner. I hate this app and these pple who own it!
erikagannon
I had no idea, Erika! I struggle with the same disease! It has certainly given me a struggle, made me skinny, then SUPER PUFFY, thus the need for SO MANY sizes in my personal closet!!! Hate you are going through it too but I guarantee it's made us both some pretty darn strong chicks!!!
erika75
@sammy i didn't see your message, booo!! I have your # still? I believe. I will reach out later. 🦋🦋🦋
erika75
@erikagannon yup, 💜 strong indeed. 💜🦉 🙃😘
erikagannon
I know people say t all the time... but really... I AM here if you need me. Anytime!
erika75
@erikagannon thank you Erika 🦉 likewise 🦉 when were you diagnosed? I'm one of your more plump crohnies lol. Unless I'm hospitalized...even then, they want to feed you steroids. I've denied it for many years now. If you don't mind me asking, where is your Crohn's located? Are you on a medication regime? 🤡 nosy, nosy! You can tag somewhere else if you like! Happy Thursday pretty lady.
erikagannon
Not nosy at all...I had so many questions when I was diagnosed nearly 7 years ago now. I LATHE the steroids but they are the only thing that really "fixes" sometimes...pain med just dull the problem. Mine started in my colon...going for another upper and lower GI in Sept to see what other fun I have in store...
erika75
@erikagannon ahh okay 🙄 i was diagnosed in 93. Good times 🤣🤣
erika75
@erikagannon lots of luck with your next test , keep me posted!!! 💜 isn't the drink sooo delicious xo
erika75
@dreizenspeichen hi! I was,looking for you... it's been awhile. So I looked under sold wildfox 🤔👀 found ya with the name change 🙃 happy to see your face! xx
hannahangell277
Fight on sister! What a beautiful story, I'm a former teacher as well and I lost that dream and almost lost my life to the struggles of autoimmune colitis 4 years ago but every coming day I feel my own strength and hope anew!
I share my journey at survivalandpeace.weebly.com
It's like survival and peace .weebly.com to break it down. Definitely worth a peek!
Hope my story brings your joy, happiness, and strength! Yours certainly did that for me! Cheers! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
erika75
@dreizenspeichen gentle hugs back at ya 🌹 do you know which tests they are giving you? Like you haven't been through enough 😕
erika75
@hannahangell277 wow!! Very inspiring!! I will definitely check you out!!! 💜💜💜 I'm so glad I get the opportunity to share part of me! I gain a few friends and warriors along the way. I almost lost my life too in 2001, I was dying and didn't even know it. My dr at the time said he couldn't do anything else for me..bastard. Found an amazing dr and surgeon-emergency surgery. Saved my life. Angels.
hannahangell277
@erika75 @erika75 Isn't that the truth?! One of my favorite quotes is "If you're hearing 'There's No Hope,' then you're just not talking to the right person." No truer words. I was down to 93 lbs on my 5'6 frame and on an NG feeding tube by the time I found the right team and they kicked into high gear and had me walking and on the mend within weeks, I'm now strong and healthy and up to a weight I won't mention lol which feels very good! So awesome to hear your story, fight on Warrior!
samantha_sf_ca
Thankfully I'm currently in remission, but I feel your pain. Hang in there honey!! Sending you positive thoughts. 💕💕💕
jeremy3
@erika75 I'm writing to give you encouragement!!! I too suffered from small bowel blockage at an early age - 27 - almost died back in 1980. Diagnosed w/C. disease from then on with 3 children to raise by myself. Had it not been for a homeopathic Dr., I would've thrown in the towel. He told & taught me how to meditate & move pain from one place to another in your body so you can tolerate it better . You can do that with running & it literally saved my life!
canarygreen
I have Ulcerative Colitis. My colon bled for 43 years. I switched to non gmo organic food and it has not bled once! I know what you go through. A real " pain in the butt!"😘
erika75
@jeremy3 hi!! Thank you so much. I'm sorry you had to suffer from this awful disease. I'm also happy you found what works for you ♥️ hang in there!!! ♥️
erika75
@canarygreen yes a huge P.I.T.A... 🤣🤣 As I age, everything else hurts as well...the struggle
erika75
@sammmmmmmy thank you so much ♥️♥️♥️ remission- such a beautiful word ♥️♥️♥️
rudegyal
I found your closet searching for Crohn's awareness shirts. lol
I have it, and terminal ileitis. I hope all is well 💜🤜
erika75
@rudegyal hi. Aww 💜💜 i do searches as well. How are you doing? I'm currently doing 'ok'. Tomorrow I could ve in the E.R. but you know how unexpected and sudden these flares arise xoxo
rudegyal
@erika75 I'm good. I didn't know what Crohn's was until 2 months ago still in the acceptance stage. I've learned it's one day at a time. Some days, one hour at a time lol
erika75
@rudegyal yes!! Well I'm going on a few decades with it, you can message me at anytime. You're a warrior!!
rudegyal
@erika75 thanks! 😊

@kugelschreiber hi beauty 🌻 sorry I didn't reach out sooner! I've been so depressed. My mind and heart are heavy these days. Crap, so your body has to endure the many tests they use to diagnose Crohn's. Please fill be in on which you have to do and how it goes!! Your body has been through so much already. Hang in there sunshine.

Thank you for sharing your story.💕more power to you! I have dealt with some challenging health and mental health illnesses recently that put me out of work for the last couple years. Poshmark has helped me stay on my feet financially. It's a great place and I enjoy learning about other poshers and their stories of resilience. Xoxo✨✨✨
sunshinelilies
I️ work at an elementary school too! I️ just learned about the seriousness of Crohn’s disease recently because our PTA president has it and was explaining to me some of her challenges... she’s lost a lot of weight recently because anything she eats kills her stomach so she can’t eat. It sucks, but she’s a fighter and so are you! Keep fighting and being fabulous! You’re all in my prayers❤️
tractorqueen1
Keep fighting and smiling. The smallest amount of light can literally light up a whole room. Even though you don't know me I will keep you in my prayers. You have a beautiful closet as well.
