I know we're a pretty small group right now and maybe that's how it will stay, but I hope that we grow and reach out to others.
Ok...so anyways...
As the creator of this group (that sounds so bougie, but I'm not) BUT, I can make threads that stay at the top...
I wanted to make an ongoing thread to just say what you want. No judgement. I write a lot. I love to draw. I love poetry, especially in Haiku form, and for those that don't know, it's a poem written in 3 lines. The first and last lines of a Haiku have 5 syllables and the middle line has 7 syllables.
I write them a lot, but I think we should have our own voice! If you just want to vent...post it here If you write a poem, post it. If you want to show a drawing then do it. I want this group to flourish, but not at the sake of us feeling judged. So, if you want to just say what's on your mind...heres the place to do it!

    Tried to wean steroids
    Level 9 stomach pain grrr
    Inflammation worse

    Off to the ER
    My pain is increasing more
    Back up to full dose

    Visit my GI
    There's nothing more he can do
    Depression sets in

    Hopeless and dispair
    This is no way to live life
    Crohn's and GP suck

    Maybe there is hope?
    Referral to new GI
    Motility guy

    Long wait to see him
    Light flickers in the distance
    Maybe he'll give hope

    YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH!!

    it’s like when they ask you your “pain level” and they what you to pick a face. I’m like, “Really?”

    I mean who goes to Urgent Care or the Emergency Room that’s not in pain. Obviously, we’re in enough pain to come here. A hospital, I get, because you can feel fine NOW, but you’re about to have some procedure that might make you check the frowny face later.

    Damn, I’m petty
    :D
