Tired of Fighting: Living with Chronic Illness for 20 Years

A new symptom today, my feet feel like many ants are on them. Oh well, another thing to worry about. It feels like besides the chronic pains, more symptoms are surfing up. Ears are always ringing. It feels like everyday is something new. But I still have faith even though it has been 5 years. So find something to smile about and keep pushing forward. Like that we can all share anything we want and not sound locos!.

Be strong I know it is easier said but you got to get

Tomorrow I have Physical therapy let’s see how that works 😜

Let’s stick together and talk daily about what is going on. 🤟🏽

I understand and since they can't see it they think it's not there. Invisible disease the adhesions bowel issues l am tired of it too. 😥

I am with you. Medications not working, pain 24/7 and the lack of sleep is wearing me down. Emotional wreck and I have to work. It’s getting worse. Medical cannabis did not calm pain enough to sleep. In 25 years I’ve tried it all lol. But I still have hope. Past 6 months awful and Hopkins doc says meds have augmented so I have To detox off current med, 18 years. It will be a nightmare but hoping the Lord will carry me thru. Thankful others understand on here and we’re not crazy. Praying for relief and progress for all us.

Let Me give u inspiration. 🙏 ❤️. My time here to help each other in providing comfort has given me hope. You never know . You might wake up one day and all your pain is gone.

God created you unique and there's no one like you. So hang on to Jesus and see what miracles He can do

I truly understand what you’re feeling! I’ve been dealing with chronic illness that disc just cannot resolve. I do the tests, drugs but nothing helps! People feel I’m not cooperating or hate doctors!!!! Trying alternative/holistic treatments costs a lot…tried some many and others think I’m a lunatic with what I’ve tried! So many get a drug to help their issues and able to carry on a good life… has not happened for me! I tried tons of drugs. I’m trying a program but not supported by others… very lonely and hard to do! I am getting some good results! I know that feeling…tired of it all! You are reaching out!!!! That’s a good thing!!! Pain wears on your soul, your well-being! Good you are here to talk! Willing to listen and offer some advice if needed! 🤗 ✋ ❤️

We are all in this together. Thank God we can talk to each other on here. My name is frustrated because that’s how I have been feeling for the last 3 years. People who aren’t dealing with these issues think you are nuts and doctors send you to more doctors more test, I am fortunate that I have a PA that truly listens and doesn’t think I’m nuts. We can all do this, we know our bodies better then anyone.

Please don't give up! I am a disabled Veteran who is in constant pain most days and yes it is a struggle. I had to learn to laugh even if it's not funny. Laughter lifts the spirits. I struggle with losing independence but I do what I can If I can't I rest Please don't give up This too shall pass

You are special, you are unique and loved! I wonder that same question almost everyday, why keep going? But then God reminds me I am loved by family members and friends that if I did call it quits, I would pass a pain in their hearts that cannot be forgotten so for this reason, I keep living, going through the hoops and loops. Taking it one day at a time and sometimes, hours at a time. You can do this.

So sorry. I honestly don’t think anyone understands unless they are going through it. I have been dealing with my autoimmune disease for the last 3 years with pain everyday, but I have so much to live for my husband, my girls and 7 grandkids. Just hang in there you’ took the first step by writing this post to talk to other people that are dealing with the same issues. You matter you are loved.
