this episode features anna parkinson, a 22 year old student with crohn’s disease. crohn’s is a form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) which is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks the digestive system. this disorder can cause anything from mouth ulcers and sore throats to extreme abdominal pain or vomiting and diahrroea. it has no known cure and usually requires heavy medication or even surgery to keep under control. some of you may know that i also suffer from this disease, so this episode definitely ended up being more of a chat than an interview; we cover the lesser known aspects of having an illness like this, and discuss to what extent we consider ourselves disabled by it. for more info on crohn's or IBD in general, click some of the links below. thanks for listening and enjoy the show! . if you suffer from anything similar and just want to rant, please reach out. anna and i both understand how completely isolating illnesses like these can be, so my dm's are always open and my website has an anonymous messaging service. alternatively, you could consider joining the online support group on facebook under https://www.facebook.com/groups/1546262139020108/. don't suffer alone. . learn more: crohns and colitis UK: https://www.crohnsandcolitis.org.uk/ [https://www.crohnsandcolitis.org.uk/] visit the 'grumbling gut' on youtube: https://youtube.com/c/TheGrumblingGut [https://youtube.com/c/TheGrumblingGut] read the blogpost: https://theotherboxpodcast.editorx.io/lizzygur/blog get the transcript: https://theotherboxpodcast.editorx.io/lizzygur/blank-3 . got something to say? get in touch with me. email: theotherboxpodcast@gmail.com instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theotherboxzine/ . ©Lizzy Gür 2021
