00:00Hi, I'm Amy Dowden from South Wales, Caerphilly. I'm mostly known for being a professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing.
00:08So, Crohn's disease for me started when I was 11 years old, but I wasn't diagnosed until I was 19.
00:14Before then, I was a typical energetic, maybe a little bit crazy child, and then when I was 11, all
00:20of a sudden I started getting serious stomach cramps.
00:23I was in a lot of pain, I'd pass out, and I went from this really energetic child to one
00:29that couldn't get out of bed, and then when I finally got told, you have Crohn's disease, I actually celebrated.
00:35For me, it was finally I've got answers, finally I can get on the treatment to have the surgery, and
00:40for me it was just like, okay, I can get back dancing.
