Hey!

Don't let it get you down!!

I know how you feel, I'm the same age and have had to break from uni myself whilst I try to get diagnosed. You feel like your life is stuck on pause!! I've tried to keep up some reading and start my dissertation now so it's less stressful when I go back. But some days i'm just too exhausted! Try and keep positive!! That's half the battle!!

Hope you're pain free atleast xxx

Hi I'm in the sam position as you. I am consedering of leaving my course as I can't concentrate any more because of my terible pain. I have been waitng 9 months now to do my lap operation but up to now no appointment. my advice to u just is dont let it get u down,just think positive and always take your pain killers before the pain come. make an alarm for every medication u have to take.

lots of love.

I am back at Uni and have been since march I'm now in year3 and have 2 assignments and my dissertation to do. I feel so stressed with it all. Thanks for ur help xxx

I tend to find all my symptoms worsen when I'm stressed so please try not to get too worked up. Have you tried following some of the diet? I know a few women on here have mentioned how it's really helped them with bloating etc. I'm seriously considering going back to university part time but am unsure if I can afford to do it that way. Have you spoken to your tutors to see if there is any extra help you can get? I found most of mine really helpful when I explained what was going on xxx

Keep smiling xxx
