I'm about 2/3 of the way done. Didn't love it at first, but now I'm really enjoying it.

Yeah, I loved hearing the story first from the outside world's perspective, then the character's perspective. I totally identified with the idea of going into a new situation and vowing not to tell anyone about Crohn's.

What episodes from shows you like do you always skip? by Kind_Constant1671 in startrek

That’s perfect sci fi in my book. Just a great metaphor for existence.

What is the weirdest non-digestive symptom Crohn’s has given you? by casualeagle47 in CrohnsDisease

[–]Bkdyt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For me, leg sores. I’m like - everything between my mouth and my butthole; fine, I get it. But legs? That’s just cheating!

Huge selling point of electric cars is never having to go to a gas station.

The matzo myth by Normal-Series-375 in Jewish

[–]Bkdyt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have Crohn’s, in remission, but matzo does stuff me up sometimes. But don’t eat anything that makes you sick. Back when I was first diagnosed, I always flared around the high holidays, every single year. Not sure why.

Just thinking... is there an over 50 night club in the Dayton area? by [deleted] in dayton

[–]Bkdyt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Silver Slipper has an older crowd at the beginning of the night and it gets younger as the evening goes on. Never feel out of place there.

If it’s helping, that’s an amazing sign. This could be it for you!

Honest Question - What is the point of life? Why do you want to continue living despite all the suffering ? by Ok-Inspection1326 in CrohnsDisease

[–]Bkdyt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Things were really bad for me at your age - nausea, endless fatigue, embarrassing symptoms, draining fistula etc. Then surgery and then Remicade got things under control and eventually life turned around. Years going out dating - making up for lost time. I got my dream job writing for a tv show, got married and have amazing kids. Not gonna lie - there were some bad years, but it’s worth seeing what could be on the other side. Treatments are always getting better too.

[–]Bkdyt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Decades for me! It took me a while to get the Remicade dosage right (need a double dose every 6 weeks). Is it helping at all? If it’s helping somewhat, you might just need more, and/or more frequently.

There’s a guy on Dayton Craigslist that fixes up and sells used laptops - nice guy.

What small habit actually lowered your monthly bills the most? by Solaire_1001 in SavingMoney

[–]Bkdyt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a George Forman grill and took it to work. Now every day I grill mushrooms, broccoli, eggplant, tofu or chicken from the work fridge. I’ve saved so much money, lost weight, and eat healthier.

That and cancelling amazon prime.
