School & Crohn's

Last year when I was diagnosed with Crohn's I gave all my teachers a handout explaining what I was living with.

This year I hadn't worried to much as I am feeling really good at the moment and hardly have to leave class for the bathroom. Yesterday one of teachers wouldn't let me go to the toilet as he was really mad with the class. It was just lucky my pain subsided and I lasted till the end of the period.

I carry my "Can't wait card" from the Australian Crohn's association, but this teacher wouldn't budge!

So now I have photocopied new handouts for the teachers, it is hard for people to understand, as on the outside I look healthy. They don't realise my insides are a whole different story!!
