      @KaraZorEl I'm on multiple vitamins and a probiotic ordered by my gastroenterologist. It does help temporarily with the nausea. I occasionally go in for nausea shots too.

      I know it's hard. It honestly doesn't get easier, you just learn to cope better. I do recommend taking a probiotic. It will help cut down on the vomiting. Not a fix, but you can at least get a few days of relief here and there.

      I'm at 5 years into this and I just can't fathom how I can continue like this. How the heck are we supposed to live with a decent quality of life. 😞 I'm just so tired.

        @Kcmichelle it makes working do difficult too, the nausea, the pain, the doctors appointments all the time. Spending more time in the bathroom than at my desk at this point 😭

      Yes I do. It literally almost killed me. Took me ten years to just accept that this is it. This is every single day. My therapist doesn't even know what to say to me half the time.

        @KaraZorEl I'm only at the beginning of my journey and it's just so difficult to accept
