Crohn's Disease - Living and Coping with it - Diary of an 'Old Crohnie'

A book designed to encourage self-help for people with Crohn's Disease, Colitis, and other Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, by reflecting on a real-life journey of a person who has been through it and is now sharing their experience.

This is a true-life account of the ups and downs, and my many different experiences and stories living with Crohn's Disease. I'm writing them so they may be used as a self-help guide for both people who have possibly just been diagnosed and are searching through the minefield of information on the internet, or for people who have a friend or relative who has the condition and are looking for help how to understand it all, so they may give some support and empathy.

The book is intended to be written with a lighthearted tone, but will tell of good times, and also some bad times. You might find it to be brutally honest at times, but at the end of it, I want you to take the good things from it and learn to avoid the bad. Everybody has different symptoms and levels of sickness, so the aim of this book is for 'All Crohnies' to learn to cope a bit better, by reading somebody else's story and knowing that you are not alone in this world.
