1/2 It’s important to keep to schedule on #biologics. My 1st #stelara #ustekinumab is due for #crohns today (8wks post infusion). @LloydsPharmacy said a nurse was coming to administer – I chase it as not heard and they have n/o avail for a WEEK.

A small but telling poll. 91% of our #IBDwomen say they struggle to engage in or enjoy sex as a result of their #IBD. Another nod to the absolute importance of whole-person care.
How can things improve? What help is available and how can it be accessed?
#IBDWomenPoll!
Ahead of tonight's question on #IBDwomen and sex that I'll post at 7pm (🇬🇧 time), here's a shotgun poll for women with #IBD. Please RT! Thanks.
Q: Have you ever struggled to engage in or enjoy sex as a result of your IBD?
12%Yes – physical challenges
9%Yes – mental challenges
70%Yes – both of above
9%No, it's always been fine

While UK gastro's great and good are huddled at #BSG2018, may I politely 'abuse' that hashtag to let you know I'm launching my #IBD patient blog, The Perianal Diaries, in a few weeks or so. Follow @perianaldiaries for info. Thanks!
