UC for 8 years, before finally kicking its butt and having a permanent ileostomy April 17 2007! 

Thanks Summerstorm, looking forward to some responses from Aussie women :) As a nurse I have seen some really sad situations. Womens maternal responsibilities are rarely considered during treatment and hospitalisation, even though the mother role is really important to women.

I'm an Aussie but I don't have human kids - only furkids (don't really want any other kind). I'm guessing that's not what you're looking for though lol

Hi Im an Aussie I live in QLD and I am a mum but my kids are now grown women, however I have suffered with chronic illness now for the past 22 years and I believe it has affected my relationship with my daughters over the years. If I meet your criteria I would be happy to answer some questions,I am 47 years old now my daughters are 28, 25 and 22. Good luck with your research
