It took Tocomba Murphy years to find out what exactly was ailing her, then even more time to find an effective treatment for Crohn’s disease.
Now, the Shaker Heights woman is taking her experience full circle, becoming an advocate for those also afflicted with the illness, and appearing in the pilot issue of Crohn’sAdvocate Magazine, which premiered this month.
There's a new magazine available in both print and online, designed for Crohn's patients. It's called Crohn's Advocate.
The magazine is free - sign up on their web site here - http://crohnsadvocate.com. It's published by the drug company UCB, (they make Cimzia) so there is some possibility of a bit of conflict of interest there of course... But, if it is helpful it's all good, right?
