I'm Jordan, I'm 25 and I'm battling an 8 year diagnosis of Ulcerative Colitis an Autoimmune disease. Hence the name - "Autoimmune and often the loudest in the room!" (anyone that knows me well enough will relate to the last bit!)
My main reason for starting this blog is to discuss my diagnosis, my on-going treatment and to help educate those who simply have no idea what IBD is. Oh, apart from the fact I just wanted to feel totally like Hilary Duff in 'The Perfect Man' when she sits on her window sill with her laptop "Hey all you bloggers, its me the girl on the move"...
Anyway, unfortunately I don't have a cute window sill seat to stare dramatically out of or emotional background music to set the scene.
I've thought about writing something for ages, however never really had the confidence to do so. Since my diagnosis I've been part of the Crohns and Colitis online forum but I've never actually posted anything myself. However, I find other peoples posts so inspiring and reassuring. More recently I've been reading other IBD sufferers blogs, following Instagram accounts and finding relatable content which really led me here, writing my own. I figured majority of people wouldn't be bothered/have the time to sit and read my story (not like me to babble on!) BUT if just one or two people did, and it helped them.. even if it just helped someone to understand the condition and what those with IBD actually face daily then its worth it. Also, its a great release for me so win win!
So, if you've got some time to kill...then read on 😀💜
