Hello

My name is Nikki and I have Crohn's disease. Eventually I will write a post detailing my compliated history with the disease but this one is to introduce myself.
I am currently waiting for a date for a second surgery. I need another bowel resection.
The purpose of this blog will be to share my thoughts and experiences with Crohn's disease. To connect with Crohn's Warriors. To hopefully help at least one person who is also struggling with a chronic illness and the implications it can have on your day to day life.
