The IBD Fatigue Scale is the product of our charity’s successful scientific partnership with researchers at King’s College London, University College London and the Addenbrookes’ NHS Trust.
For the 10,000 newly diagnosed young people with Crohn’s and Colitis every year, fatigue is a deeply debilitating symptom and Crohn’s and Colitis UK is delighted to welcome the support of Sam Faiers. Sam is helping the charity to fight IBD fatigue by improving awareness of this ‘hidden symptom’.
The exhaustion I experienced was horrible, life limiting and a typically untreated symptom for people with Crohn’s or Colitis. This new Fatigue Scale is a breakthrough and will make talking to my doctors much, much easier. This really is great news for everyone with IBD.
