My Weakness, My Strenght, My Story...

Hi my name is Lilly I'm 30 years old. At the age of 18 I became severely ill and no one, not even the doctors could determine what was happening to me. In 2003, I started getting a lot of abdominal pains, diarrhea, vomiting, excessive weight loss, loss of appetite, headaches and most importantly I was losing a lot of blood through my anal passage. In 2004, I was diagnosed with a disease called ULCERATIVE COLITIS. This is a gastrointestinal disease that becomes inflamed and... messes up the digestive tract severely. Yes, it is indeed embarrassing to let the world know what I have been through, but if I could help one person today with my experience of this disease then the embarrassment is all worth it. Today, after two major surgeries I am a lot better and grateful for life so for this week 1st December to the 7th December I ask you to take some time and share information about these diseases Crohns and Ulcerative Colitis and help me and others like me find a cure https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/crohnsandcolitis?source=feed_text&story_id=495352777335488 https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/fightforacure?source=feed_text&story_id=495352777335488.
