Artist's Comments

I made this stamp because I have Crohn's Disease. I've had it for quite a few years now. It's painful.

[Extract from Wikipedia] Crohn's disease (also known as regional enteritis) is a chronic, episodic, inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract characterized by transmural inflammation (affecting the entire wall of the involved bowel) and skip lesions (areas of inflammation with areas of normal lining between).

Crohn's disease affects between 400,000 and 600,000 people in North America. Crohn's disease often develops in the teenage years, though individuals in their earlier years are also at increased risk.

Unlike the other major type of IBD, ulcerative colitis, there is no known medical or surgical cure for Crohn's disease.

I was told this past year I might have that too.... I've had stomach problems for years and years... it's all in the diet and the way you look at life.... and exercise.

Yeah it's scary how many people it affects, and yet still a lot of people don't know what it is. Lol, maybe it's just not glamorous enough! Hahaha.

I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease when I was nine years old... I'll be turning seventeen soon. Some days I wish for a cure, and other days I feel glad that I have it. It makes me stronger.

I have to agree with you - I kind of feel the same way.
