Hello everyone! I have not blogged in a while, forgive me? I have been busy with Crohn's Disease Support Network (CDSN) www.CrohnsDiseaseSN.com Things health wise have been OK. After leaving the hospital few weeks ago, I've since restarted Humira. I haven't been on it long enough again to notice any signs. I have been very tired, but taking it easy.
Yesterday morning I had an incredibly unique experience. There is a Twitter "Show/broadcast" that is kinda like The View. They are @LeMorning recommend following them if on Twitter! They are on from Gam EASTERN until 9am WESTERN - 6 FULL HOURS! You can join in on the show also by visiting: http://www.heralddeparis.com/ If you scroll down to the middle of the page, on the right hand side is the scrolling show.
This morning I received a tweet asking to describe what Crohn's Disease is. It was incredible to be able to spread awareness for Crohn's Disease!!! Below is a copy of the discussion.
Best Wishes,
Jason Leitman - CDSN Creator
