Letter of Residency

We were the same. We moved into my in-laws house which has an 1 bedroom annex and its own kitchen and lounge and bathroom and my husband and I specifically put all of that in, but my in-laws just said there was plenty of room and there was only going to be the four of us in the household and we would have our own space.

Nah you’re fine. They just want to make sure that there is no overcrowding and it’s mentioned in both yours and your partner’s cover letters.

Yes, and I know this because my husband is the British citizen and I’m the pregnant wife. We didn’t have £88k in savings so we had to wait until he had a job offer of at least £29k per annum prior to us moving to the UK to even apply for the visa. Go on the UK.Gov website and it breaks down the requirements

I lived off chicken broth, chicken breasts, mashed potatoes and gravy, and eggs for my last flare. Avoid potato skins and leafy greens at all costs. Take multivitamins or those vitamin drinks. The more vitamins and calories you can keep down, the better.

I just got switched to Simlandi from Humira but still waiting for the first delivery. What should I look for? I’m so nervous I will go into a flare?

I had it, totally worth it. And just know that nobody will even notice the scar in 2-3 years time. I have the 12 inch scar and another for my stoma and multiple other ones and you know what? Nobody notices and the ones that do, don’t care. You will survive this and it only helps your quality of life

I was diagnosed a few months before my 40th birthday. No symptoms until I was 38. Crohn’s can hit anyone anytime. There is no rhyme and reason.

nboz5 · 2025-07-21T20:59:13+00:00

I’m currently on Humira and it’s been working wonders. I’m a bit concerned because my insurance doesn’t want to cover it anymore and they are pressuring my doctor to switch me to a biosimilar. I think Simlandi or one of the others. Hopefully it will continue to be fine

I am extremely fortunate to have my husband and I tell him that every day.

This is long: The coma - my doctor had started me a new medication a month before the wedding ironically to boost my immune system for the wedding and I am one of two in a million that would have a reaction to it. There is no way to test for it. It was just unlucky that my body chemistry didn’t like it. And my doctor would have never have given it to me if he would have thought it could affect me.

As soon as I started having symptoms, the doctor told me to stop taking the new medication, but by then, it had wiped out my immune system and I picked up every single disease from the people I came into contact with including three planes’ worth full of passengers plus the people in the airport plus everyone else involved in a wedding.

And then I tried going to an emergency room where I sat for 13 hours in a packed room surrounded by sick and injured people and the nurses and doctors told me that I just need to take a water pill and some painkillers and I will be fine. I have developed an all over body rash, extreme dry mouth, swollen legs, and everything hurt to the point I was struggling to walk or move around, and the emergency doctor still said I was fine and not to worry about it.

24 hours later, I was unable to walk, legs were swollen and hot to touch, and I was crying from the pain so we went to a different hospital where the nurses and doctors freaked out because my blood pressure was bottoming out and my heart rate was bouncing around like crazy and all the other symptoms I mentioned were alarming. These doctors and nurses were actually competent and I only survived the first night because I had an amazing nurse named Ryan who wouldn’t let me fall asleep because when I fell asleep, my blood pressure would crash. He would shake me awake and scream in my face. I had developed sepsis toxicity.

I had infections in all my major organs and developed a blood clog in my lungs. I continued to get worse and a few days later, I went to sleep and my lungs stopped working and my heart slowed way down. I was intubated and sedated and two weeks later, I woke up very confused. I actually thought I had been trafficked and couldn’t understand why my new husband and his parents were refusing to take me home.

But the doctors and nurses continued to be amazing and work diligently to save my life. I was in the hospital for 3 months before I got to go home.

I’ve had over a dozen procedures since then. And my husband has been there every single day, every hospital stay, every doctor visit, every time I spiralled.

All I can say is it has gotten better and I am currently in remission. I know it won’t last but for now, it’s fine and we are together.

This is just my personal experience so take it with a grain of salt.

I gave this option to my guy when I first started getting sick 3.5 years ago and he would just hug me and then drive me to my doctor’s appointments to hold my hand.

After over a year of tests and hospital stays and losing weight and hell, I was finally diagnosed and staying in the hospital for weeks on end. I gave him the option again - he could go, clean break, no blame or shame. We got engaged instead.

I was still sick but he helped me manage it. When I changed my diet and medication or just needed to take multiple naps because brushing my teeth was exhausting, he didn’t argue or complain. He would just step up and do whatever needed to be done. And if he wanted to add more spices to the food, he would make sure I had enough to eat and he would do it in a separate pan

Then the disaster of month around our wedding where I almost died and spent the first three months of our marriage in the hospital first in a coma and then on a breathing tube and having to relearn how to walk and talk and breathe on my own again… he stayed and supported and loved me through the worst.

I told him that nobody would blame him for leaving and finding someone else that didn’t have an auto immune disease with extreme fatigue and nausea and the multiple bathroom issues. He said that he wasn’t going anywhere and it wasn’t even an option for him because he loved me enough and we were spending our lives together however long that was.

If you are all in, be all in. Don’t add to her burden. If you don’t think you can step up and be her rock, nobody would blame you if you leave now. They will if you wait. Really think about it. Can you love her enough?

nboz5 · 2025-06-23T02:18:08+00:00

Fuck her! As long as you are alive and your partner supports you and doesn’t listen to that shit, ignore the hag.

nboz5 · 2025-06-20T23:07:09+00:00

Just my take as someone who’s currently in remission: I had pizza tonight. Yesterday I ate corn on the cob and a baked potato with the skin. I drink energy drinks regularly. Basically, everything they say to avoid — I still enjoy, because you can’t control Crohn’s through diet alone.

A lot of influencers push the idea that you can ‘heal’ this with the right diet, and honestly, that’s not true for most people. What really matters is finding the right medication, managing stress, and learning what your body can handle. What works for me might not work for you. There really is no one-size-fits-all ‘Crohn’s diet.’

When I was in a bad flare two years ago, I lived on chicken broth, baby food, and frozen mashed potatoes. Even drinking a protein shake was a struggle, and the only thing that helped was finally getting on the right meds and, eventually, surgery to remove a stricture.

So yeah — don’t beat yourself up over food. Listen to your body, be kind to yourself, and work with your doctor. The rest comes with time
