Living with IBD - Talking to Nurses

[highlandsrock]

Last week I was given the opportunity to talk to 200 2nd year nurses about what it's like to live with IBD. I've never done anything like this before. I thought you might like to see how I covered my surgery and getting a stoma -

Really good presentation, thanks for sharing.

Out of interest as someone newly diagnosed what were you going to say about travel?

Not much to be honest. I've only ever travelled abroad on business and insurance/medivac was all covered by the company. I was simply going to mention that travel insurance is weighted and they take into account many factors including surgery and medication. There's a website set up by an IBD nurse with a lot of travel information and contacts - www.ibdpassport.com
