I'm thinking of all my fellow PSCers today 💚 If you ever have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out!

It's #PSCAwarenessDay! You can learn more about this #liver condition that is related to #IBD from our #IBDFamily member @TheComicalColon, who lives with #PSC. Listen to #AboutIBDPodcast in any #podcast app or on my site 👇



I fit in the 11% purple section. When my GI caught my elevated liver numbers, I was shocked because I was absolutely asymptomatic. #PSCVoicesPFDD #PSCAwareness #PrimarySclerosingCholangitis

PSC Partners Medical Science Liaison Joanne Hatchett is talking about timing of symptoms & diagnosis of #PSC. Up next in Making Our Voices Heard: PFDD Forum is Consequences of Lack of Effective Treatments for #PSC. Join us. pscpartners.org #PSCVoicesPFDD @PSCPartnersCa

I was featured on Amber's podcast, and what an honor it was! 🤩 Amber's IBD advocacy work was some of the first I found when I was first diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, and being on her podcast was like a dream come true. Listen to it here: bit.ly/AIBD73

What's the silver lining in your #IBD journey? On #AboutIBDPodcast 73, @TheComicalColon tells how #ulcerativecolitis stole some goals but also how she created new ones. Listen to About IBD in your #podcast app, on my site bit.ly/AIBD73, or Apple apple.co/2VbQ6io

#CCAwarenessWeek day 7 & onward. After this week, raising #IBD awareness continues on. That’s what this @awarecauses necklace means to me: continuing the dialogue with friends, family, & strangers. Let’s continue to fight 💜 bit.ly/2RxL4vp #IBDawarwness #IBDvisible

Today is day 6 of #CCAwarenessWeek ! Honestly? I’ve NEVER been good at self-care or relaxing nor taking breaks 🤭 #IBD has forced me to fall in love with self-care, particularly baths & books, journaling, & walking outdoors! bit.ly/2PjBJ7V #IBDawareness #selfcare

Happy #CCAwarenessWeek day 5! Who would have guessed I’d LOVE writing about my chronic illness!? This red notebook is where I write about my diagnosis & topics like acceptance, identity, forgiveness, joy, & others. So therapeutic & emboldening 💜 #ibdawareness #ibdvisible

Happy #CCAwarenessWeek day 4! This waiting room is the epitome of #IBD for me. Waiting for new meds to kick in...Waiting for test results...Waiting for insurance to stop dropping the ball... Phew, #ulcerativecolitis is making me a patient person! 😂 bit.ly/2rYR3OZ
