hi everyone!
The last week has been hilarious and amazing! I have not only participated in a lot of live chats, but i have also done my first-panel live chat ever!
Yesterday I was kindly welcomed on to a friends youtube live chat, who then connected me to another hilarious group of people in the US! You get to see me interacting with some wonderful characters as we shoot the breeze and talk about life :)
I have just uploaded my video for the day on my YouTube channel about all the different kinds of Crohn's and Colitis diseases out there that are classified under inflammatory bowel disease, and in the description are the links to the other channels that I have been interacting with over the last week :)
Such a wonderful and fun experience meeting all these people and they liked me enough to invite me back today!!!
Also because of me getting myself out there and connecting with these new communities, my subscribers in the last week have gone from 27 last Monday to 88 as of today! almost at my first 100!!!!
It's been a great experience and it's great that I have some knowledge on how to do it now as I plan to do exactly this in the future on my channel!!
Thank you everyone who is supporting me and following me on my multiple platforms, I love being connected to such a wonderful group of people :) Also, the #loveyourguts hashtag can be found on all my social media and its a new tag on here as well! so i would love to get it up and running for other pages on here so please feel free to use on your own posts :)
#loveyourguts and I'll see you tomorrow for some more art posts!! xxx
Your Crohns vs Ulcerative Collitis video seriously triggered me. I had to walk out of the room while @ursa was watching it. Made me feel like a session of Dr Google was diagnosing every symptom I ever had when I ended up in hospital eleven years ago.
At the same time, this is confronting mortality-affirming communication about health. We're all gonna suffer from something sooner or later, and I'm glad that I haven't had a flare in years.
I really want to say "fuck you" for sharing this video, but it's not everyday that people talk about these important things. As someone who is healthy, instead I'm saying "Thank you", for sharing this information with people who would not ordinarily encounter it in their day to day lives.

Im sorry that this video triggered you, that was not the intention of the video. Coming from someone who suffers still everyday with this disease i know how important it is to share this information so others can get help faster rather than waiting until the worst happens. I was not diagnosing anyone, only providing really important information and support so as much as i am one of the few who understand how confronting this all is, i dont appreciate that one of your initial reactions was to say fuck you. If this has severly impacted you mentally, you should probably seek some help to ensure you have fully recovered mentally from what you experienced years ago, and im glad you were lucky to have now recovered and not be battling this illness anymore.
It was confronting in a good way. I don't normally find my skin crawling with uneasiness when learning / reading / investigating something. It's a massive compliment that your content had the veracity to make me flinch and have life- changing moments come back.
I couldn't walk ten minutes without losing my breath before I had my treatment. I was a fixed person afterwards, but with all chronic things there's the risk it may come back.
Important to stay on top of it all. :)
I very much love, and am grateful for my guts. Steem On!
