This week we talk to Stacey Calabro who has decided that makes her "Stacey C- The Deuce." Stacey has been living with IBD since she was in high school. She's been a social worker, probation officer, and finally her IBD prompted her to go to nursing school. She's done travel nursing and had some fun adventures because of it including some brushes with celebrities! We talked to her about what it's like to travel so often with IBD and live somewhere with less accessible healthcare, we discuss how IBD affects her joints and other illnesses, we talk about how she found her IBD family through support groups and volunteering with a camp for kids with IBD, and how she's basically famous. We laughed SO hard during this episode. I know you'll love Stacey C The Deuce as much as we did.
