Hi I’m Morgan! I live in Connecticut, and I was diagnosed with UC about 6 years ago. I’m married to my lovely spouse Sarah, and we’ve been married for 16 years. I currently work in IT, but before that I was a theatrical sound designer, and a touring and studio audio engineer. I’m also Trans and AudiHD.

Hello folks! My name is Russell, but most people just call me Russ!

I live on the east coast of the US (and was born here) at the moment, but I’ve previously lived in Texas for a pretty good chunk of my childhood. Great food over there, and I definitely miss it but oh my god do I not miss the year long heat (though I hear that is getting better?)…

I was diagnosed with crohn’s disease when I was about 12 years old in the seventh grade, but I had symptoms going back as far as the fourth grade. It’s been a very long journey, but I’m getting through it a day at a time! I’m an aspiring software developer (or as I like to describe myself “I teach computers how to do new things”), but I do some systems administration at my workplace along with development and technical support - we’re a smaller company so I tend to wear a lot of hats 😅

I’m incredibly happy to see that we have a Crohn’s & UC community here on Lemmy, and I hope to be more of an active participant than an observer like I was in the equivalent subreddits! 🎉

Hi! I’m Back on my BS, and I’m also back on my bullshit 🤪

I had my first ulcerative colitis in 2003, but didn’t get diagnosed until 2011ish. I have a pretty accommodating job, so I’m lucky in that part of my life. However, I don’t really know anyone else with IBD, so I’m pretty much on my own with it. I’m hoping that this community takes off so we can help and support each other. BTW, I really like memes, even IBD ones, so please feel free to share them with me.

Thank you, @MorganCS@lemmy.world, for creating and building this community!

Crohn’s since young.

Currently on Cortisone, Azathioprine, Mesalazine.

My Doc kindly referred to my bowel (after colonoscopy) as a “moonscape”.

Howdy everyone. My name is David, a born and raised Hoosier still living in Indiana.

I was diagnosed with UC (proctitis) in March 2023, although I first started reporting issues with my GI tract in 2014. I’ve been on Mesalamine (both oral and supp.) since the diagnosis. I have another colonoscopy tomorrow to see if the meds have been working so fingers crossed!

Glad to see there’s a group here. I’ve gotten a lot of great information from the sister group on Reddit but much prefer the Fediverse.
