The story of Veronica
My name is Veronica and I’m 38.
I suffer from chronic intestinal pseudoobstruction since I was six but the path to diagnosis was long and difficult.
I was subjected to numerous surgeries intestinal resection and because of the difficulty to eating it has always very hard to maintain a normal weight.Some time I had to resort to parenteral nutrition.
Five years I have a permanent ileostomy that was my salvation and I started a new life even if many problems remained.
Scientific research is the only hope so is very important to raise awareness of this rare disease
