My Crohnstipated Life

When I was first diagnosed, I thought Crohn’s was just a stomach disease. Oh, how wrong I was.

Here are some weird symptoms no one warned me about:

😬 Mouth ulcers – Because apparently, my gut wasn’t enough of a battleground.
😵‍💫 Random dizzy spells – One minute I’m fine, the next I feel like I’m on a rollercoaster.
🦵 Joint pain that makes me feel ancient – Crohn’s arthritis? Didn’t see that coming.
🥵 Night sweats – Waking up soaked for no reason? Love that for me.
🥴 Random nausea (even when I haven’t eaten anything weird) – Explain yourself, intestines.
💨 Gas pain that feels like a heart attack – No, I’m not dying. Yes, I might explode.

Crohn’s is so much more than a “bathroom disease.” And honestly? I’d like a refund.

Stay Strong.
