Hi

This disease is awful, sorry you aren’t getting the support. Most illness you can’t see but with this one there’s too little known. They know from Edinburgh research the cells are and act in a similar way to cancer, maybe that would help them to understand. It’s also in the top twenty NHS most painful conditions. Don’t feel bad because you have a disease you couldn’t prevent.

Likely more hormones than anxiety but have the same symptoms, unfortunately drs say anxiety which makes me so cross as they know better. You can get through this 🙂 I know how bad it can get

Are you getting help with decent pain relief? I hope your GP is supporting you.

thank you to for your reply. I hate being a wino! I become my own opposite In every way. All I dislike demotivated, deflated, from trying to overcome the resilience mentality and the exhaustion and pains physically still hard the expectance to internalise specially when mistaken for depression, subjected to systemic discrimination, especially when your so desperate eg being at hospital, doubled over in pain, on the bus outside to see ppl get out there is the hardest part. If that makes any sense
