Bio
Welcome to “The Life of the Potty,” my online Crohn’s disease documentary. My name is Adrianne and I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease on April 9, 2006. Since then, I have strived to learn what I can about this illness, how it is treated, and what is being done to bring about a cure. I spare no dirty details about my fight with Crohn’s and freely write about doctors appointments, hospital stays, medications, symptoms, and all of the like. I post photos, opinions, and articles. I hope to get into peer counseling one day and created this journal to help strive toward that dream. Please join me in my fight to find a cure in what is becoming a common disease in both adults and children. Without progress and team work, we can not hope to win.
Please note the following:
This journal is rated PG-13 for medical content and jabber. All graphic content will be put behind a cut with a proper warning.
I am NOT a licensed physician or counselor of any kind. What I post on this blog is strict opinion and should be treated as such. Please speak to your primary care physician or gastroenterologist before starting any medical or physical treatment for your Crohn’s disease.
