Hi, my name is Andrea, I'm 46 Years old and live in Sussex in the UK with my fantastically supportive fiancé my two gorgeous boys aged 12 & 15 and my shy little rescue dog Meg! I work full time as a Teaching Assistant with children aged 411, a role I completely love and find challenging yet extremely rewarding. I was diagnosed in 2004 initially with Crohn's and then changed to Indeterminate Colitis in 2016, and, as a result, now have a JPouch.
For years, I have served as a useful source to those seeking information, help, or advice about my experiences living with bowel disease. I finally decided to own that role and be intentional about it. I started writing about my experiences, my thoughts, and what I feel others can benefit from being shared. I founded JPouch Warrior with a mission to give others a taste of what goes on in my mind, and I have been at it ever since.
Take some time to explore the blog, read something interesting, and feel free to reach out.
