Manage episode 434321026 series 3342455
Kris is an amazing listener who’s had UC for 40 years! She bravely discusses her history of trauma; how she dealt with UC in the 1980s and 1990s; her “healing” discovery in 1999; her setback in COVID; where she is today; and tips for having lived with chronic illness for decades!
Please note: This episode discusses trauma, such as childhood sexual abuse, miscarriage, abortion, cutting and more. If these or any trauma-related topics activate you, listen at a different time.
Kris discusses a helpful school resource for parents of kids with IBD or CIRS called a Section 504. Please research for more info.
