10 reasons to join the Crohn’s and Colitis Support Group

1. It’s full of other people with connections to IBD.
2. It’s a safe forum to ask any and all IBD questions.
3. It’s a way to connect with others on the Mighty community.
4. I’m one of the group leaders (living with #UlcerativeColitis ), and I’m pretty cool.
5. We want to normalize talking about poop.
6. We do Q&As with partners like Girls with Guts.
7. It’s a small but “Mighty” community that we want to grow.

MitochondrialDisease 6h

It is becoming harder to manage personal grooming because of my illnesses and morbidities and problems that come from it.

Over 60 with Mito as a diagnosis and a bunch of comorbidities. The worst of it is gastroparesis right now. My chest, throat and everything all through gets inflamed. My sometimes overinflated gag reflex makes a lot of visits (Dental, etc) difficult and the lack of nutrients between the mito and the gastro means that my hair is dry and brittle, my skin is erratic and I have incredibly inflated problems with sweating. Turns out I break out after the sweating. It all leaves me tired and frustrated. I was used to keeping an eye on bathrooms for IBS, but now I have to keep track of a place to be sick. #MitochondrialDisease #personalcare #Gastroparesis I
