As a patient who’s lived with symptoms of #UC, @kimberlymhooks knows what it’s like to fight insurers for care she needs. Now her insurer – UHC – is trying to make it harder to access GI procedures. Patients can’t afford delays to time-sensitive care! 🔗 ow.ly/VrSo50RbBnA

"Management of ulcerative colitis after surgery...is a big challenge for physicians because patients who believed that their disease had been cured started experiencing very uncomfortable symptoms repeatedly." pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36687422/ RIGHT?!?
Out here in DC with @AmerGastroAssn for #AGAAdvocacy day. Meeting members of Congress today to advocate for all patients.
Today our @AmerGastroAssn advocates @DrKimEBarrett et joined our amazing GI patient advocates @kimberlymhooks to call on Congress to hold big insurance accountable & ensure patients can access the care they need when they need it. #AGAadvocacy

Daily affirmations can help us develop positive thinking, which can be hard to do when you're exhausted from a flare. If affirmations feel strange to you, tryin putting the phase, "I'm learning to..." in front of the statement i.e."I am learning to love myself."
Curious about IBD? 🤔 For patients, IBD means more than a term. It affects well-being, social life, finances & beyond. Educate yourself – it matters! You're not alone on this journey. Remember: 1️⃣ Listen to your body. 2️⃣ Be your advocate. 3️⃣ Find community. 4️⃣ Celebrate Wins.
Listen UP, academia! 🚨 📣 To the gender majority out there in medicine making the big and small decisions rn - will you be a part of the problem, or a force for forward change? And yes, it’s a choice. #womeninmedicine #allies
One of our COCCI Ambassadors, Kimberly Hooks @kimberlymhooks , was brave enough to share her IBD story. Being diagnosed with IBD can be scary, so community is more important than anything during these times. If you are suffering with IBD, remember that you are not alone.
We are less than a month away from our annual Equity in GI Conference - Registration is still open! We created this conference to put #healthequity front and center in patient education, community care, and access in GI #COCCI #guthealth #healthiswealth #equityinGI
We’re🙏🏼to our #IBD patients, caregivers, & advocates who share their insight with #MondayNightIBD 🏘 📊Let’s talk about family planning and sexual health 🙏🏽 led by @Sahara88uk @Empoweringpts9 📝Please share your #PatientExperience & retweet for more IBD awareness
🌟 Attending Digestive Disease Week (DDW) as an IBD Warrior! 🌟 DAY 1️⃣ Recap! @DDWMeeting @AmerGastroAssn #AGAIBDInfluencer #HereforDDW #DDW2023 #COCCI #IBD instagram.com/reel/CsRSPh5AS…
@kimberlymhooks Thank you for sharing this powerful photo and for highlighting events like #DDW2023 in raising awareness and breaking the stigma around chronic conditions, @kimberlymhooks! Through sharing our experiences, we can drive meaningful change.
After having my J-Pouch for 3 years, I can’t tell you how excited I was to attend this session! I learned so much!! Thank you for the amazing session @MaiaKayalMD #AGAIBDInfluencer #HereforDDW #DDW2023 @DDWMeeting @AmerGastroAssn
Thank you @ariel_jordan22 for highlighting that only 22.5% of IBD patients underwent screening for anxiety or depression during hospitalization, 77.5% noted no discussion of anxiety or depression during admission. I am that patient! #AGAIBDInfluencer #HereforDDW #DDW2023
Great discussion with @ChristianKarime as he explained the importance of vaccinations for IBD patients. Studies show that 75% of patients with IBD achieved immunity to HBV after 2 doses of Heplisav-B. #AGAIBDInfluencer #HereforDDW #DDW2023 @AmerGastroAssn @DDWMeeting
DIVERSITY + HEALTH EQUITY This photo shows patients from all walks of life supporting an important cause! Bringing awareness to IBD! To my fellow advocates, it takes a lot to live with a chronic disease and take on #DDW2023 but we did it! #AGAIBDInfluencer #COCCI #HereforDDW
It was a pleasure meeting you @drfolamay Thank you for all that you do in the IBD community! I am very inspired by @blackingastro and the mission to promote health equity in black communities. @DDWMeeting #AGAIBDInfluencer #HereforDDW #DDW2023 #COCCI

And later had my dx changed to #Crohns of the #pouch. My husband & I cried. We thought my battle was over & it wasn’t /2/
@PJWestlake @MondayNightIBD @ibdesis @Sahara88uk @kimberlymhooks @CrzyCreoleMommy @JournalingIBD @Youcantmakethi4 @HolubarStefan @DeviousDwyer So interesting that you mention this, Paul. 15 years ago, when I was offered a #jpouch, I was told it was a cure & I didn’t know a thing about #cuffitis or #pouchitis. That plus it meant I could be deemed “marriageable” in my culture, so I gave it my best shot /1/
@ownyourcrohns @MondayNightIBD @ibdesis @Sahara88uk @kimberlymhooks @CrzyCreoleMommy @JournalingIBD @HolubarStefan @DeviousDwyer 2) Systemic biologics were discussed but I’ve always feared & avoided them. There’s some new non systemic options being studied that I’ll consider when they’re available. I’m now at peace w/ my fistula because of the help of @FezaRemziMD & my wonderful hubby 🙏 #MondayNightIBD
@ownyourcrohns @MondayNightIBD @ibdesis @Sahara88uk @kimberlymhooks @CrzyCreoleMommy @JournalingIBD @HolubarStefan @DeviousDwyer 1) My JPouch returned my health and I’ve avoided pouchitis but I’m not without any issues.
