Summary
Today is World IBD Day. Sarah O’Connor, from Crusheen was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in 2020 after years of symptoms, and later received an MS diagnosis in 2022. She says living with both conditions has been a “constant juggling act,” affecting everything from daily energy levels to treatment options. Despite the challenges, Sarah has continued to build a career in digital marketing, contribute to research at the University of Galway, and raise awareness of chronic illness through advocacy and social media. She joined Derrick Lynch on Tuesday's Morning Focus to share her experience as part of efforts by Crohn’s and Colitis Ireland to support others living with inflammatory bowel disease.
