Crohn's Is A Funny Disease, Right?

I've had Crohn's disease for 64 years (and counting). A while back, I wrote a book about my journey called Crohn's Is A Funny Disease. I came up with the ironic title after I saw this tone-deaf ad from the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation. After all, there's nothing like having a good laugh while suffering.

  1. Great title, ! And congratulations on your book. That is awesome! Yes, sometimes laughing is the best way to help get through when going through challenging things (like Crohn's). I thought you might appreciate this article from our advocate, Luke, about the importance of comedy, https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/living/okay-to-make-jokes. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
