Let's talk jokes...
Society loves to joke at other people's expense. Whether it's because they feel uncomfortable or they want to feel cool whatever it is it might be funny to you, but it's not funny to the person who's life it affects.
As we all start to head out of lockdown let's take a moment to be mindful of others. Support and respect people's decisions to continue shield or run for freedom out their door. Whatever they decide is up to them. Why? Because life is complicated full of so many layers that the world doesn't see and that's it. It's their life so let them do it their way.
Getting a diagnosis can be the best and worst moment. It's a complicated mixture of emotion. It doesn't mean you're a freak or you can't do things, it just means there is an added layer to your life, your personality, your journey.
But hey it's ok because we have amazing people like Erin Judge providing us with tips and tricks on what to ask our doctors and more importantly how to take back control of our life.
So sit back, grab a cuppa and be inspired by Erin's personal journey with IBS.
