This photo popped up on my facebook page memories a few days ago, from 6 years ago.. at first I didn't think much of it, and then I realised why it actually has a great deal of importance.. 3 months before this photo I had moved to Malmö, a new city where I barely knew…
4 years, wow.. to think that 4 years ago today I was saved. Stevie saved my life, gave me a second chance, gave me a new life. Sometimes when I think back I feel how surreal it all seems.. to think that ulcerative colitis nearly took my life.. a slow and painful death.. 4 years…
Hey there Everyone, it's Stevie here. Charlotte has been doing all the talking for coming up to four years soon, and you know what, I felt like it was time I got to have a say too, I've kept quiet for long enough now! As you know, I'm Stevie, Stevie the Stoma, and I was…
"How often do you change your bag?" I often get asked this question, and I can honestly say, I don't know. I use a drainable bag for my ileostomy, meaning I can empty it whenever I go to the toilet, which is what I do, or however often I want. How often I change my…
Have you ever wondered what life with ulcerative colitis or crohns might be like? Aside from reading about it, and never totally being able to understand, because in all honesty, like they say "you don't get it, until you get it". However I wouldn't wish it upon even my worst enemy, but, I know one…
The last few weeks I've been feeling really down about myself. I have felt fat, well maybe not fat, but I have definitely got a rounder face again (which, yes, I know, it's only me who can see it, but man can I see it!). I have also been having this really odd reaction where…
These past few weeks have been pretty difficult for me. Maybe I've been in a flare state, maybe I've been extra emotional and sentimental, maybe I've pushed myself too hard and got a bit worn out.. whatever it is, it's felt heavy. Yes my body has been exhausted, it's been aching and painful too but…
It's now been 19 days since we celebrated 3 years and I realised I haven't shared how the evening was! We went for a lovely meal at Gino's Italian, because we both loooove Italian! Our meal was so yummy, and when it was time for the desert the waiting staff all came with mine, with…
I don't know if I can share this video on social media so click onto my blog and watch it! I got this idea a while back for this special day, and me being silly decided it would be fun, also, me being as last minute as I can be, did't really give myself as…
I'm sorry if I haven't replied to messages recently..I feel bad about it, I promise! The past week or two haven't been fun. I have been in a flare up. My UC has been playing havoc with my body. I am so stress sensitive, as well as lack of sleep and bad food and drink…
Welcome to the Life o Charlotte
