My Crohn's Advocate Magazine Came in the Mail!

                                                 

My Crohn's Advocate Magazine came in the mail! Yay!

This magazine is sent out quarterly, and I look forward to it every time it comes in the mail. Why? Because I have a Journalism degree, and I love magazines. I also love this magazine, because it makes reading about an autoimmune disease fun and interesting.

The magazine has Q & A sessions with doctors across the country, interviews with others like me around the United States, and it always features a well-known person on the cover who has Crohn's disease as well. It's so nice to read about other people like me who use a toilet as much as I do. Their stories help me learn how to live with Crohns and how to have a sense of humor about a disease that can be really embarrassing at times.

Cynthia McFadden is on this month's cover, and I loved reading her story. She has had Crohns for nearly 4 decades! She has traveled for famous news stories all over the world. Although she says the traveling and working is a challenge, she has made it through and succeeded.

This is so encouraging to me, because traveling and being as busy as she is is scary to me. I believe it is do-able as long as I prepare myself and communicate with those around me that I may need help and support. Sometimes people need to be patient with me, because I might not always be on time or I might need to stop everything I'm doing to get to a restroom. And who knows how long i'll be in there.

I am still learning my limits, because while my body is fighting inflammation, I have to say "no" to things sometimes to get the rest that my body is asking for. I do not have the energy to do a whole lot sometimes. I am learning to listen to my body. When I am in a flare, I have to rest more than usual. It makes me extremely fatigued.

It's all a balance, and it is nice to see someone like Cynthia McFadden can accomplish so much while managing a tricky chronic illness.

For more information about Crohn's Advocate Magazine you can visit www.crohnsandme.com.

This web site has all sorts of information about Crohns, and you can sign up to receive the magazine in your mailbox too!

I hope others with autoimmune diseases have something like this magazine or good websites. It's so helpful to connect in a positive way.

Hope everyone is having a great month so far! I'm ready for Christmas break. I'll be off 11 days from work!! Woo hoo :) Me and Isaac's 6 month wedding anniversary is in 2 days. Crazy that we have been married 6 months. We spend that amount of time planning the wedding! It sure is different trying to plan our Christmas with both our families now that we are married. It is all going to work out well I think. It will just be busy. But it will be nice to spend time with our families.

  1. I had been suffering from Unstable Angina of the heart for years..We have tried all we could to get the best of drugs and improve my condition on medics but my condition have not improved even after spending lots of money trying to give her the best..My illness has given me so much concern.. I was introduced to a psychic site by a spell caster where I read a testimony of a woman cured of subarachnoid hemorrhage permanently..I was baffled an interested in how she was cured and it was revealed that a spell caster helped her did a spell that cured her.. I contacted the spell caster and explained my case to him..he helped me did same spell and told me to take her for a test..we went for almost 5 checkups after the test and the medics all confirmed there is no traces of the virus in her system again..people that has been suffering from this illness can contact the spell caster on ishvaratemple@yahoo.com

  5. When I married my husband I was already pregnant and so I didn't have a job. He had a really good job though so I was able to stay home and take care of our son when it was born. When we had our second child we moved to a bigger house, but then strange things started to happen. Things would fly off the walls and doors would slam at night. Our oldest son talked about seeing figures and hearing voices. We consulted a medium and they said the house was haunted. After living there about a year more with only minor occurrences we moved out. That was when the bad luck started to happen. Everything started to fail, with my husband's job, our money and our luck in general. I went back to the same medium and they told me that a spirit had followed me and placed a curse upon me for disturbing it and not being respectful in the previous house. He tried to remove it but was unable. The misfortune kept going on and getting more severe as I tried to search out someone to break the curse. But when I found Dr.Azonto spell he finally did it. Things started turning around almost immediately after he cast the spell and have been great from there! This was really a miracle for us, thank you . azontotemple@ yahoo. com spell from the bottom of my heart!

  7. I just want to take a few moments to personally thank you for helping me bring back my husband to me and his family. About three months ago, I discovered that my husband of 3 years was having an affair outside our relationship. When I found out about this affair, I approached him and he did not confessed that he and She was having an affair and that he loved her and wanted to end our marriage and be with her.I was so devastated that I had to be hospitalized for a nervous breakdown. When I got better, I decided to go online and look for someone very good to help me. for a surprised! Then one day, I saw your comment about the powerful saibaba temple and was impressed by what they said. and i contacted him for the solution of my problem, and my husband attitude began to change and share good feelings towards me and i am so much happy after he apologies for what he had done to me, he now love me and treat so much better than ever before. thanks to the great one. you can contact this great spell caster via his email templesaibaba@yahoo.com

  8. My name is Mr Frank Silver,I live in Mexico,and I’m happily married with a lovely wife and three children. I had a very big problem with my wife few months ago,to the extent that she even packed her things away from me and my kids for almost 5 months,and i tried all my possible best and effort to bring her back,but all to no avail.I discussed it with a very good friend of mine,and he gave me an advice concerning a spell caster,and i quote.“There’s someone who can handle your situation,he’s always ready and able to do anything related to spell casting,i will like you to contact him with his email,which is as follows.”osobas Great Oracle Temple Solution”. I never believed in spell casting,but he convinced me and i had no choice than to follow his advice,because i never dreamt of loosing my lovely wife.And that’s how i contacted him with his email address,and i discussed with him and so surprisingly,he told me that I’ll get my wife back a day after.so i never believed,until when i got home,the next day,my wife called me to inform me that she was coming back…..So amazing!! That’s how i got my wife back through spell casting and our relationship was now stronger than how it was before.One of the price i was asked to pay was to tell it to people around me that problems like this,can always be solved by “osobas Great Oracle Temple Solution”. So! my advice for you out there is to visit this same website,and tell him your problems too,if you are in any condition related to love issue or getting your ex back,to have a happy family.THANKS....

  13. Am Joyce Morgan After being in relationship with him for nine years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the spell caster, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email is ekpikuspellhomeofgrace@gmail.com

  14. DO YOU NEED YOUR EX BACK? BECAREFUL........

    NOW I DON’T WANNA TALK ABOUT MY LIFE BUT I HAVE FOLLOWED MOST OF THESE CRAPS AND GOT USED TO THEM. MOST OF THESE PEOPLE TELLING YOU BEWARE THIS BEWARE THAT ARE BUNCH OF CRAPS AND SCAMS. THE ONLY MAN YOU CAN ACTUALLY TRUST ON SPELL IS DR. OKIRIKA. I WOULD HAVE BROUGHT HIM RIGHT HERE TO THE STATES IF POSSIBLE. HE DID A WHOLE LOT OF THINGS WHICH I WON’T REALLY MENTION HERE BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT OF WHAT HE DID FOR ME WAS GETTING MY EX BACK WITH THE SUM OF $170. HE IS GREAT AND I MET THROUGH MRS. ELLA JENKINS ON A VOY COMMENT FORUM THAT HE HELPED HIM. JUST AS EVERY OTHER PERSON HAS TESTIFIED. NOW I AM ALSO A PARTAKER OF HIS GREATNESS AND TRUTHFULNESS, AND A VERY GOOD SPELL CASTER. I’M STILL VERY MUCH INDEBTED TO DR. OKIRIKA FOR SAVING MY LIFE AND MY MARRIAGE. I WANT TO LET YA ALL KNOW THAT YOU DON’T HAVE TO TRY ANYBODY ELSE EXCEPT THIS DUDE. HIS EMAIL CONTACT IS { Okirikaspiritualhindustemple@gmail.com }
