I POSITIVELY have Crohns

Okay so let's think about it. We have Crohns or we have IBS or we have spastic bowel. There is a ton of frustration that goes with it. I am certain I need not elaborate much. I can remember many days when I'm ready to walk out the door and oops, I ate today so the body says it's time to be sick. (as I intercom, which means talking while you're walking in my house to the kids that we have to wait a sec before we leave ;) There are also the days where I remember not to eat so that I can be where I need to be on time. Yes, there is a price for that as well.

Well, here's the truth. We all have a little something that's not right. My son is now 13 and for years has had to deal with being ADHD. Thankfully, the 'H' is slowly phasing out. He gets up in the morning, takes his meds and, for a few years, had to take meds at school as well. Now how is an ADHD child suppose to remember to go take his meds at school? I laugh at the notion. My husband has possibly the worst nose on the planet. There is so much stuff that irritates him, it makes my 'don't eat' list look like one of those really thin post its. Everyday, he takes Claritin and Sudafed and hits the bricks with a snack of Benadryl. Did I mention he's got one doozie of a tummy acid problem too? (possible from the over-ingestion of decongestants and allergen blockers...I'm just sayn)

My list could go on and on of the people in my world that deal from something. The point of my post is this. There aren't many people who can say they suffer from absolutely nothing. The cool thing is that we recognize that we are all dealing with our thing and making it. Isn't that something to be proud of?
