19歲的艾咪 (Aimee Rouski) 跟許多同齡女性一樣,喜歡自拍上傳臉書,也樂於分享自己充滿自信的模樣。光看她的照片,你絕對想不到住在利物浦的她患有無法根治的疾病「克隆氏症」。

克隆氏症是一種發炎性腸道疾病,這種疾病也讓艾咪從15歲起就必須戴著迴腸造口袋生活,因為她的大腸跟結腸都被手術切除了,大腿內側的肌肉也被切除去填補她的傷口。

她在臉書的貼文上表示她一直都想拍這樣的照片,因為她看過很多自拍照是為了喚醒大家對體重的意識,卻沒有太多人是為了喚醒大家對隱疾的意識。她說克隆氏症讓她必須一輩子戴著迴腸造口袋。
![Aimee also posted a picture of the scars on her legs left behind from surgery. Her inner thigh muscles were removed to cover her external wounds](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/576b99fc15b50.jpg)
她說她可以調適,但很多人卻難以調適。所以她想藉此對那些人說,「懂你的人仍然會愛你,而且覺得你很美。你不需要為了你的疾病感到羞愧或尷尬。」
她的臉書貼文已經被分享了5千多次,許多人都在底下留言為她加油。

艾咪在11歲時就被診斷出有克隆氏症,當時她一直胃部痙攣、毫無食慾,體重也驟降。

而且那些症狀愈來愈糟,直到她在15歲時動了手術。艾咪說手術後她的狀況好多了,而且她也能接受必須永遠帶著一個袋子,因為她知道那會讓她舒服一點。儘管如此,她有時還是會覺得不舒服或疲累。
![She says she is pleased with the response that the post has got and hopes it will give others more confidence](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/576b99fc958a3.jpg)
艾咪也說她很高興收到臉書上很多人的回饋,很多人都說艾咪激勵了他們、讓他們更有自信、更能接受自己。而她覺得能聽到這些反響真的很棒。
