Let me introduce myself. My name is Vicky. I am a 25 year old learning to live with IBD. It’s a scary prospect, one I haven’t quite got my head around yet. The hospital visits, the medication, the fear of the future. But I am not alone. Bernie, my bowel, is here and with me every step of the way. The purpose of this blog is to track progress. To visibly see the difference in time in both my health and wellbeing and to follow a journey of rediscovery as I find out what makes me who I am beyond the definition of a disease.
