A Wee Spark of Inspiration With Author Kathleen Nicholls

This is the second part of my conversation with Kathleen Nicholls, author of "Go Your Crohn Way: A Gutsy Guide to Living with Crohn's Disease" and "My Flare Lady: A Handbook for Today's (Diseased) Dame." Hear the first part in Episode 97, where Kathleen tells us about her Crohn's disease diagnosis and how blogging became the way she processes her disease journey.

We talk about how to answer when people ask us how we're doing. Which leads to another topic, and that's how providers can ask patients about whether or not they want to pursue parenthood. Kathleen also gives blogging tips, including a hard truth, and offers advice to anyone who is newly diagnosed. However, I think her wisdom is important for long-term patients as well.
