Are you making your health worse?
June 3, 2009Inflammatory bowel diseases are notoriously difficult to get under control and in remission. Those of us who suffer with them try every medicine and treatment and diet we can find to find relief from the symptoms. Since I’ve been through the thick of it I have sympathy for others who are unable to find relief from their suffering.
That being said, we are all in charge of our health. Responsibility for our health ultimately lies with us, not the doctors and nurses assigned to treat us. Many times, those of us with IBD get frustrated and impatient when treatment isn’t working. So instead of being persistence with our treatment, we can get lazy or passive, which leads to no good.
So I posit the question to all: are you making your health worse by ignoring your disease and treatment? In the end your only hurt yourself and prove no point to no one.
Keep fighting,
~Dennis
