Positive tweet, February I had a small bowel resection removing 19cm of bowel, after anti TNF therapy didn’t work. Late May I was on the summit of my 114 peak in the Lake District. #positivity #ibd #CrohnsDisease #LakeDistrict

#flujab & blood tests, nurse said arm will ache for a while. Arms fine................but my thumb joints!!!😳 #CrohnsColitisFn

72 hours with a #heartmoniter on, fingers crossed, and looking forward to a good nights sleep. Those electrodes stick in ur ribs!!!

Happy Friday 😊👍

And where do you think the best spot would be for the Christmas tree in the three-story-high aircraft hanger of a building at Stratford station?

Another thrashing from my son 😏 #poorsnookerplayer #fathersontime

Got my letter from surgeon today, wish they wouldn’t tell you all the risks, next page just says a leak could be life threatening!!! #crohnsdisease #poopingmyself #CrohnsColitisFn

That’s it. Finished work till the New year 😊👍

Well that’s the end of a long working year, lots of scans, blood tests and hospital appointments during it but proud of myself for having only a hand full of days sick #crohnsdisease #stricture #resection #Christmasbreak

A very #MerryChristmas to our troops. Thinking of those serving away from home.

If you don’t take meds to manage your disease: congrats! If you do take meds to manage your disease: also, congrats! Why we congratulate one and not the other is strange. 🤷🏻‍♀️ The only thing that matters is that YOU are doing what YOU need to do to be healthy. #ibd #crohns

Empathy is more than having a good bedside manner. "Remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something, loves something and has lost something."

A quick poll. I’m in the middle of writing a piece and need to comment on the most unpopular test we go through as #Crohns #UC #IBD patients. I’m guessing what the answer will be but just wanted to check. If you choose Other then please say which one. Please could you RT. Thanx

Thankfully when taking medications I've not yet had this reaction but I know lots of others with Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis who have. I hope the medication is helping Dynamo. thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/5…

Later in the year the Costing Crohn's Study will be needing help from Crohn's patients in the UK. Please could you follow @CostingCrohns to keep up-to-date and RT. Thanks #costingcrohns
