Infection 2019
The last half of this year has been really testing my fears. One of my biggest fears is dying of an infection that is antibiotic resistant and I have been septic TWO different times since September. I have been getting UTI’s that just don’t seem to go away and don’t respond to any mix of…
When my Crohns world turned upside down
I have had a very tough battle with this illness. I have had to leave my town and seek more specialized treatment because no doctor knew what to do with me. The only thing they did was add more drugs to me and I was just getting sicker and sicker at 17-19 years old. My…
