Hi everyone, Really hoping for a handhold please. I’m on my own and just feeling so down and alone.
My daughter has had medical issues for the past few years that we haven’t quite been able to get to the bottom of. She is 11.
She has stomach issues and has had countless tests. We have a gastro appointment again soon, but I’m just reaching a point where I am just so afraid. I’m trying to tell myself that if it was something serious, we would have answers by now. She has had ultrasounds, scopes, swallowing tests etc. but sometimes she is just so unwell.
I want her to be able to finally enjoy a childhood with this behind her, but we have been fighting to get answers for 3 years. She is on medication which really helps - omeprazole and an antibiotic to speed up her digestive system. But still, she is weaker than her friends, she is struggling with stamina. I’m actually in tears because I just can’t get this fixed. I’ve tried so hard for her. I feel somehow responsible. Maybe just guilt that I haven’t been able to fix this.
I don’t have any family around and I do have friends but I don’t feel I have anyone who truly understands what I am going through, and what she has gone through.
I am always being practical with any issue we face, but underneath, I am emotionally broken by it. I wish I could win the lottery and get her the best medical care and someone who will find answers for her.
I just need to make things better… but I can’t!
