This is Part 2 of a 2 part conversation, so if you haven't heard podcast 26 then I strong urge you to listen to that first, because otherwise none of this podcast will make much sense!
Can you imagine having a chronic inflammatory bowel disease, that makes you poop well over a dozen times a day. Imagine when it escalates to affecting your skin, your hair, your weight, and even your mental health.
This is what most people who suffer from Crohn’s Disease go through all their lives. They might have good days, but a flare up makes even the simplest daily tasks impossible, and of course that’s not taking the pain into account.
Many people who suffer from such a horrible illness also suffer equally from mental illness. It has been suggested that the two (physical & mental illness) could be far more closely related than we have thought. That’s a subject for another day, but today’s guest highlights this relationship.
Today’s podcast welcomes Conor, a 28-year-old from Glasgow, Scotland. Conor was diagnosed with Crohn’s at the age of 12 and has suffered for all these years until 2 years ago when he stepped away from the norm, took matters into his own hands, ignored the advice of his doctors & dieticians, and tried something completely radical, which reflected his desperation.
This is a podcast about an amazing person who has achieved what most people with Crohn’s disease can only dream of, remission!
This conversation has been broken into 2 parts and this is PART 2 (Part 1 is on Podcast 26). I hope you enjoy it, & I hope it encourages you to step out of your comfort zone and challenge the norm!
