Terrible for kids. I never knew it started so early. I know an adult female with it. The predinsone really messed up her bones. She’s now on some kind of chemo for the last several years. Also my dad had ulcerative colitis (and dementia from alcoholism). That was a very fun combo. ;)
uggh- you’re right, that is an awful combo- i was talking with a nurse today that said she was a caretaker home aid and had to work with an elderly man who had colostomy and dementia, and he’d always rip the pouch off- and she had to continually clean the mess and keep pouches on him- what a way to end up- awful- poor guy- poor nurse- all around bad situation- nurses deserve loads of accolades for their self sacrificial help-
