I carnt belieave people speak so bad about the NHS. I wouldnt be alive to write this if it wasnt for the NHS. I too have UC, and have had the surgery.
my sister has colitis,but its not as bad as this type.
she is beauty ))
u r 1 brave gal…kleep it up
The truth is, NHS is just a corporation and are only there to make money. The government has the cure for AIDS, Cancers and other diseases such as UC – they just don’t want to provide us with the cures as it’s part of their “depopulation” program, the less people, the more control, a one world government is what they want, the people who really control the world from behind the scenes.
These people are sick.
Nice video, good ending! I have Crohn’s disease and it’s an absolute nightmare, been hsopitalized 4 times this year – I’m in so much pain, lots of bad symptoms, suffer bleeding etc and had to go on a liquid diet because I couldn’t eat anything. Watching this makes me think there is hope of a better quality of life on the horizon somewhere.
i was diagnosed with UC at 13 :\
i had this operation not but 3 months ago,just aged 16 and its drasticaly changed my life for the better.
good luck claire, and to anyother who has to suffer through this
na man thatll make things worse
Does this mean she has to have a bag attached for the rest of her life?
my mum has had this and has done for 8 years.. NHS is a fuckin joke.. she hasent had this operation mind u .. and i for one have to watch her go through pain every day cuz they wont pull the finger outa the arse and do something about it .. load of shite
Good luck claire x
And by the way you kinda look like lily allen
I’m sure they would have investigated further, she was obviously really unwell. It sounds like they did a fantastic job, and she’s really happy with how things have turned out.
I know this sounds like a stupid question but my girlfriend wants to know if it’s safe to go anal?
i had this op at 18 had the bag now for 27 years was diagnosed at 12 had the op later youre doing great good luck x
i had this. It all happened in three months, at the age of 14. it hurts man. But you’re brave, i know how you feel x
you are a very brave young lady,good luck claire.
My son had this op at 16 – was the youngest at that time in Somerset. He is now 21 and doing great. – no side affects and he healed up really fast.
poor claire, much love xx
was so good of her to do this to help others.
great of her to comment like this to help others……
I note she only got diagnosed after her Grandma brought up the family history.
I’m sure she would have just had the ‘You have IBS deal with it’ speach if it was not for her intervention.
Thanks for this, a very eloquent and brave young lady, I have been diagnosed with this too, my Gp’s missed it for over 6 months until I was finally sent to hospital for tests. However it must be said Im very impressed by the level of care at the hospital since going.
Thanks Claire for making this film, my Daughter was diagnosed two years ago at the age of 11. She has had a rough couple of years. So glad you are feeling much better.
It’s good to know you are well.
I hope the NHS help more people as they are there to do it. Too many people slipping through the net and also getting a very basic ’service’ from an organisation that has deteriorated to a very unsavoury image and practise.
This girl is lucky she got help, it would be nice to know her experience because i was in hospital awhile ago and it was bloody awful. uncaring rough nurses, filthy rooms wards and rooms. i hope to god when i’m old i’m not at their mercy omg
