When I was told that Crohn's & Colitis UK were launching a new app called 'In My Shoes: 24 Hours with Crohn's or Colitis' I was really excited about the idea. I really love the fact people can now begin to have an idea of how we live with Crohn's or Colitis and how it is a task just to cope day to day, because trust me the name says it's all. Nobody would choose to be in our shoes!
I set the app to 10am start and began my day. I had constant notifications including even the smallest things. I love how detailed the app is. However, I am in the middle of a flare up so my toilet trips might have beaten the app this time round!
I urged my mum to download and use this app, asking her how she felt managing the app and being at her full-time day job. This is what she said:
This programme was developed with and partially funded by pharmaceutical company Takeda UK, one of Crohn's & Colitis UK's corporate partners.
