My Dad lived with diagnosed Crohns for 25 years. We covered for him as a family however we could. But you just don't get how debilitating it can be unless you're intimate with it.
As a kid I thought my dad was lame and a bore for not doing a lot of things I wanted. As an adult and having cared for him for most of the last 10 years, I realized he was a warrior that achieved more than any other in his body could've.
Chroma disease, people don't get that when I'm burned out for the day it won't help to take a short break. Immunosuppressants are a bitch.
Edit: shitty Phone. Yes Crohn's
Crohns? That's what I have and "invisible disability" is an apt description.
