Hi everyone, my names Angie, I'm 38 (ugh!) and I live in Blackpool.

Just thought I'd start up this blog, but not too sure how long it will last before I get bored. I doubt anyone will read it anyway, because I'm abit boring and not much goes on in my life at the moment.

I have Crohns disease, which I have had since I was 24, so if anyone wants to talk about that with me, I'm always happy to talk to other people with the disease, as it's not really something other people without it want to hear about.

I have a 19 year old daughter, she doesn't live with me anymore, she moved back down to Brighton a year ago. I'm from Blackpool, but lived in Brighton for 7 years, and that's where she was born, so she wanted to go back to her roots lol. I miss her, but I don't miss her moodiness.

Anyway for now, I'm going to leave it at that.

Oh and before I go, I shall just say that I like music, make up, reading, shopping (sometimes) and going out (but mainly in the summer when it's warmer). I also love watching the beauty gurus on youtube.

Well that's enough rambling. I will probably be back in about a year to update this ;)

    1. Hi, sorry only just noticed your comment, I didn't check this for ages and only just started coming on here again. How old is your bf? It is a really debilitating disease to have (although some people cope better with it than other I've found). When it's flaring, it's the worst thing ever! I find people don't have much sympathy because most people with Crohns look fine, but usually feel like crap. Even if you don't have the physical symptoms, the lethargy and general feeling like rubbish is a day to day thing. Some days you have good days and others are really bad. I'm on infliximab now which in itself causes problems, but is the only thing that got it under control when I was flaring really bad 3 years ago. I wish I could come off that though now, because as I said, it's causing undesirable side effects that I would rather not have, but I can't as theres a high chance of my flaring up again :( How does your bf cope? (I'm assuming you are still together as I'm late replying) I'm not even sure if you'll ever read this now, but thanks for the comment anyway. x
