FFS. Chronic illness pity party

[EmMcK]

My own party. I just need to let off steam. I have had ulcerative colitis for about 13 years and then after lots of pain and bleeding also got diagnosed with adenomyosis about six months ago. I know neither of these are life limiting and with my specialist’s help I am pretty much on top of keeping my UC manageable and am hoping to get there with the adenomyosis, and 90% of the time I am fine and chirpy and positive, but on days like today when I am sore and tired and so so so nauseous I just want to curl up and cry, I get pretty bloody despondent about my health. In the bigger scheme of things, it isn’t so bad, but today it feels like it really sucks.
As you were.

I feel for you OP. Chronic illnesses are often not seen as that serious but it really wears you down. You are perfectly entitled to your party.

Is there a colitis support group you can join? I am in one for psorasis and it can really help to talk to people suffering the sane problems as you. (party supplies )

Thanks for the supplies SitUp. As soon as I don’t feel like vomiting, I will be right into them. Especially the wine
