Hi there gays, fruit flies, and allies!

I'm Barrett Laurie; an aspiring traditionally published author. Good chance if you've landed on this video, you want to be a traditionally published author too. Here on this channel I talk books, butt stuff and fun stuff. Books: Writing & Reading. Don't get it twisted when I say butt stuff I am talking about my journey with Crohn's disease and the Fun Stuff is everything else that makes life great!

In my first video of the Let's Talk About Butt Stuff playlist of 2021 I decided to discuss the one year anniversary of my seton surgery. Rereading my diary from a year ago reminded me of how far I had come on my chronic illness journey. I reflect on the medicines that I credit with saving my quality of life, Remicade and azathioprine. I discuss what I've learned and offer my sympathies to those suffering without answers.

This playlist (Let's Talk About Butt Stuff) is an overview of my experience with IBD & Crohn's disease from the point of getting sick in September of 2019 to diagnosis in March of 2020 of complex perianal Crohn's. It is my Crohn's Disease Vlog or Chronic Illness Blog. My hope is that these videos can be informative to others who are seeking information about Crohn's and the treatments available to them. Be prepared, I tell it like it is, so these videos will go into pretty graphic detail about the "butt stuff."

Since January I had two EUAs (Exam Under Anesthesia) that resulted in one partial fistulotomy and two setons (drains) being placed. Those were to repair two anal fistulas. Two colonoscopies and two MRIs. I began Remicade infusions in mid-March and by May I felt like I was getting my life back. I'm also currently on Azathioprine an oral immune suppressant (chemo).
