Allow those diagnosed with Crohn’s and Colitis to access Medical Exemption card

Petition Details

Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis are Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBDs). They can cause painful sores (ulcers) and inflammation (swelling) in your digestive tract.

Crohn’s and Colitis are lifelong, chronic conditions and are not curative. Treatment like medicines and surgery are available.

Additional Information

As a Crohn’s patient myself, I have often become anxious about the inevitable future of my illness. This debilitating disease fluctuates between flare ups and remission. Since my first symptoms appeared in August 2021, including blood in my stool, I have had to pay for 3 different medications - which didn’t have a positive impact on my illness.

Those with Crohn’s and colitis are at greater risk of developing bowel cancer. I ask does it need to reach that point for me to seek free prescriptions?
