It's Inflammatory Bowel Disease awareness week!
I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis at 19 and have had quite the journey.
Awareness is so important because:
IBD is an invisible illness
It helps to reduce stigma
Promotes less diagnostic delay
Provides support for those living with the illness

It displays a lack of consideration for others outside of your personal bubble. Its not hard to be kind and considerate of others. If you see something you dont understand, ask, look it up, *learn* before you make an assumption that could be wildly inaccurate and harmful.

Mostly friendly reminder that if you do not understand the purpose/need for a device/invention. Its probably not for you.
Its not a gotcha when you hop on the internet and call people using lid openers/sock pullers/etc "lazy".
Those things were made to fulfill an actual need for other people.

I'm still feeling sick, and now Mike feels sick. So I think it's some sort of bug. Time to bundle up under all my soft blankets and eat soup.
I think I might be sick. I woke up feeling very unwell and I learned that my Dad is sick.

Arthritic joints hurting during weather changes is absolutely a real thing. My RA sites (feet, knees, shoulders) are killing me and there is nonstop rain/snow in the forecast.

We are really struggling to make ends meet right now so I'm going to open some "YCH (your character here)" style comms.
Which style(s) would you be interested in if I offered them? I'm thinking of asking $10-$25 depending on the complexity.
Thx for the help.
