Teeny, great blog post! And I thought I was the only one who personified the "monster" living in my guts! Except I usually think of it as an angry gnome with a pick-axe who is running through my guts and hacking away with his axe as he goes and generally causing mayhem in there.
And I absolutely know what you mean about feeling like you're 70 - I have a close friend who has crohn's (I've got no diagnosis yet but my GI thinks it's probably crohn's). She and I are both in our late 20s/early 30s, and we both joke that we're the oldest young people we know. We are always talking about how we are going to do old lady-type things, like play Bingo and watch Matlock. It's no fun to feel like an old lady a lot of the time, but it's really nice to have a friend who understands and can joke with me about that kind of thing. It's nice to have people on here who understand too! Thanks again for sharing your blog post with us.
