Daryl the AdminWinding up missing an important #crohns tele appointment I was literally sitting waiting at my device to attend (for an hour!) because of stupid things really has me very, very annoyed this evening.
RDNScreening of 3,500 compounds against human stem cells induced to an inflamed condition, followed by testing in mice, found that glycyrrhizin, a compound extracted from black licorice, reduced inflammation and cell death. The results may point toward a treatment for IBD and Crohn's Disease.

Black licorice compound could reduce gut inflammation, study finds
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, is becoming more common worldwide and now affects millions of people. It is a condition where the digestive system becomes inflamed over a long period of time.

Oooh! I remembered to give myself my dose of #skyrizi today.
Go me!

- New healthcare got me my ID card with all the necessary numbers before I headed to the pharmacy to pick up the prep
- I got a morning procedure time slot instead of an afternoon one

Today I'm thankful for modern medicine that can help my body realize my intestinal tract is actually still important and useful and not and enemy that needs to be constantly attacked.
There a lot wrong with American healthcare, but for this part of if (and that I can actually access it), I'm grateful.

Are we "Making you Think?”Medication can change your life – Both good and bad!
I ended my last post with something along the lines, medication can do wonders. And that it can, well, until your body begins to act up. How your body may react to a new medication is always an interesting battle to choose when going on medication. Even the simplest of drugs to treat Chrohn’s can have some pretty nasty side effects. What is the line between benefit and risk?
A sample of my current medication regime.
Look at Prednisone as an example. Prednisone is a drug that is […]
