Crohn’s free holiday? Definitely too good to be true!

Our week in Djerba was filled with relaxation, amazing food, quad biking, camel riding, jet skiing and much more. Unfortunately, as per usual, Crohn’s wasn’t far away! 3 days into the holiday and I woke up with the most horrific stomach pains and awful…how do I put this… ‘Bottom problems’ ;). The pain lasted about 2 or 3 days which was frustrating. I can deal with the ‘bottom issues’ but the pain I just can’t carry on as normal with. The pain meant that instead of being on the Jet Ski I had to go on the boat and follow Mikey, who was on a Jet Ski. I can safely say that none of this ruined or even slightly effected our holiday. It was amazing.

Dermatitis slowly creeping back! This time last year my chin and forehead was covered in a dry skin condition called dermatitis. This is apparently another side effect of Crohn’s. I had some anti-biotic cream to use and it all cleared up. For some reason it has started to flare up again on my chin, so back to the doctors for some more cream. Hopefully it will clear it up before it spreads too far.
