How to Cope with Infusion Medication Anxiety

IV infusions and IBD - let's dive into ways to make the day more comfortable. 

In this podcast we dive into the challenges and practical aspects of getting infusions for Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's disease. We discuss common fears associated with treatment, the importance of communication with healthcare providers, and strategies for making the infusion experience more comfortable. It is important to weigh the risks of treatment against the risks of not treating IBD.

Takeaways-

- Discussing fears with healthcare providers can alleviate anxiety.
- The risk of not treating inflammation is significant.
- Comfort during infusions can be personalized.
- Self-injecting medications can be an option for some patients.
- Pairing difficult experiences with positive activities and self care can help.

We love helping provide quality content on IBD nutrition and making it more accessible to all through our podcast, instagram and youtube channel. Creating the resources we provide comes at a significant cost to us. We dream of a day where we can provide even more free education, guidance and support to those with IBD like us. 

We need your support to do this. You can help us by liking episodes, sharing them on your social media, subscribing to YouTube and telling others about us (your doctors, friends, family, forums/reddit etc). 

Can you do this for us? In return, I promise to continually improve what we offer to you on all of these platforms!
