The worst part for me is never knowing how the day is going to go.
It is extremely frustrating never knowing when or how severe pain or symptoms will shift throughout the day. Hugs!!
I totally get you I was diagnosed in 2010 but my pain management doctor think I might of had to as a child in the juvenile settings. Currently my condition is chronic. I’m in constant pain and it is depressing my sleep is screwed up I’m always bloated its not easy it would be easier to die but that is not an opinion no matter how bad it gets. Screw driver in your joints and other tools as well. I wish there was a cure. You like myself are not alone. Someday people will understand.
It’s not an easy life. I do hope you’re able to find some relief.
