Crohns’ disease and Takayasu's with Artie Carden

We caught up with Artie who joined us in a Sunflower Conversation back 2020. Artie has hypermobility syndrome, Crohn’s disease and Takayasu's arteritis. After extended bouts of sickness and diarrhoea Artie sought a medical diagnosis, unfortunately it was this was a misdiagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome which was later changed to a Crohn’s.
Artie’s conditions are autoimmune and result in inflammation across the entire body which can be extremely painful. Artie is on a combination of medications and spends a lot of time researching so that when visiting the doctors is already armed with the information to support the treatment plan.
If you are experiencing problems discussed in this podcast contact your GP or healthcare practitioner.
