Looking for examples
The words "patient engagement" get said all the time in healthcare. Doctors, drug makers, hospitals and more want to improve in this area. I'm curious, what's the best example or story of someone -- anyone -- "engaging" with you about any health issue or disability you or a loved one is facing? #RareDisease #MentalHealth #Depression #ChronicPain #Migraine #Autism #Addiction #InflammatoryBowelDiseaseIBD #CrohnsDisease #Parenting

Christmas
Maybe not the best decorated tree, but I've done it despite a hell of a lot of pain. Could have waited for my partner to help, but wanted to surprise him. Now time for painkillers and a lie down me thinks. #CrohnsDisease #MentalHealth #Depression #InflammatoryBowelDiseaseIBD

I'm New Here! #Depression #Anxiety #InflammatoryBowelDiseaseIBD
I've been following The Mighty's Facebook page for a while but only today realized that this group existed. Couldn't have come at a better time because I've been going through some difficult things and looking for some kind of supportive community. Glad to be here!

Sorting the emotions
I'm over 24 hours since the colonoscopy and I am all sorts of cranky. I've got a migraine again. My tummy doesn't hurt anymore. But I'm just so confused about how I should feel. The doctor said it's probably not Crohn's. My PCP said it's probably UC. Or Ibd. I knew it was Ibd, just not which one. I'm stressed out about waiting for the biopsy results. I have to go to the hospital next week for labs before I can schedule a follow up appointment with my GI doctor. I'm exhausted. I've got too much in my head.
