@MondayNightIBD @AaronBlocker_ Just to share my personal story, I found my biggest barrier was navigating the different care coordination style amidst a major life transition that coincided with my #PedsGI to adult GI transition! 1/5

I have been offered a #surgicalabortion role in BC!
I have been offered a #surgicalabortion role in BC!
Surgical abortion opportunities like this are limited (sometimes more so for family docs) and I knew that I had to take the leap. The Ottawa #OBGYN team was so dedicated to my surgical abortion learning and I want to maintain those skills.
I have training I want to use.
I have training I want to use.
My clinic will continue to accept some referrals as outlined by faxes sent to clinics in the surrounding area. Patients can still self-refer for #contraception, #pap smears, and #abortion care.

Today marks 20 yrs of #remission from #Crohns. For some #IBD patients, remission feels like an elusive thing. I get it, I’ve had my share of time in the #ICU. I’m extremely fortunate that #Remicade has worked this long. Many people must switch meds to find a lasting solution. 1/n
The last 20 yrs haven’t come w/o complications. A sustained high quality of life was worth the trade offs that come with #biologics. I lived with recurrent infections and a #cancer diagnosis. Was it challenging? Yes. Was it better than living with flares? Absolutely. 2/n
There isn’t a day that I don’t think of those that weren’t as lucky. Alex Davidson, Ty Redler, Lacey Conners and Lindsey D’Ercole were younger than me and have since passed from IBD complications. In spite of some survivor’s guilt, I do my best to keep their memory alive.💜 3/n

@rebelliousgut @MondayNightIBD @southasianIBD @ibdesis @Empoweringpts9 @DCharabaty @crohnsbabble @LivingWithUmeed @vkckiranpullela @TheMaveilousGut @dunung_ruchita 3/ When my dad passed from #CRC, my family went into poverty & couldn't afford health insurance. Though I was symptomatic as a child, I didn't have a #colonoscopy until 22 when I got my 1st job. That's when I received my very delayed #IBD diagnosis. #MondayNightIBD #SouthAsianIBD
@rebelliousgut @MondayNightIBD @southasianIBD @ibdesis @Empoweringpts9 @DCharabaty @ownyourcrohns @LivingWithUmeed @vkckiranpullela @TheMaveilousGut @dunung_ruchita 1/ When I transitioned to adult care at 17, I felt like I was stuck in a constant loop of tapering off prednisolone, flaring, and then ending up in hospital on IV steroids only to end up on another course of steroids for my #IBD.

In our project, we want to find a definitive cure for #IBD 🏥 using an innovative strategy🧬🔬 We explain this in our latest infographic and in this tweetorial. Get on board! 👇🏻
We are researching #IBD because it affects millions of people worldwide, especially young adults 👦🏻👧🏻 Moreover, we target two of the most frequent IBD subtypes: #Crohns disease and ulcerative #colitis 👇🏻
We focus on the main issue of #IBD: inflammation 🔥 In this condition, the patient’s immune system attacks their #intestine as if it were an external agent.

Have tears in my eyes writing this. I didn’t realise verdict had come and the man involved had now died. I did not live in his shoes. All of us bowel patients have different stories + experiences. But this is so desperately sad. So really achingly sad 1/ bbc.com/news/uk-englan…
When I had my stoma op in Aug 2014, it came having put it off for years and years. I lived with poor health from #Crohns for far longer than I should or could have. I was scared. I feared coping with it. I was worried what people and potential partners would think. I delayed 2/
I worked & built a strong career despite my health battles. My amazing consultant and I both agreed he’d let me choose when the time was right. But warned also I may have that time chosen for me if I got very sick or my bowel ruptured. So I delayed. Out of fear. Putting it off 3/
1/ Today is World #IBD Day. Here is my #CrohnsDisease story: buff.ly/2TkWenc When considering my post for today I've been reflecting on why awareness days are important and with that I began to think about the history of IBD: how patients were treated in the past, what
2/ treatment options were available... So much has changed and it is all because of people sharing their stories, the hard work and dedication of our GIs and other clinicians, and the money and support that came from advocacy which led to where we are today. It wasn't that
3/ long ago that patients were being blamed for their IBD. It was thought that they had a "mother fixation," marital problems, and so on. A disease of the psyche. Patients were taken away from their families and isolated and went through unimaginable things. Lobotomies were

More info from @SchwartzbergMD expressing ❌connection (unless underlying conditions/meds) between *just* colectomy and immune suppression. 👇🏽
Here’s more information about susceptibility & #ostomy/#Jpouch from @HolubarStefan. Ostomates (or jpouchers) don’t have a lower immune system *just* because they have an ostomy, BUT it’s imperative to keep strict hygiene. #IPAA https://t.co/bkeqMkcYRv
Update 15 March #COVID19 and #IBD. Due to the active communication of colleagues around the globe, we are now aware of several worldwide cases of #COVID19 in patients who have IBD, including one child.

The UCP does NOT understand how devastating removing brand name biologics from the list of covered drugs could be. Let me explain..edmonton.citynews.ca/2019/11/18/cro…
Biological drugs are very expensive. They are genetically engineered antibodies that target specific molecules in our bodies that contribute to a disease process (like cancer, inflammation). They do not always just block the molecule from engaging it’s receptor.
Sometimes they have other actions (like inducing apoptosis/cell death) or activating receptors, or signaling other cells to eat the molecule/cell that the antibody binds to. That means that depending on how the antibody was originally designed, the therapeutic effect is different
