I'm so sorry to hear that you're struggling this week, Charlotte. Times like these are very difficult to get through, without using food as a comfort, which is what most of us have relied on in the past.

Try to see that your craving isn't really hunger, so food isn't going to help, or give you a hug. Find someone that can give you a hug and, in the meantime, I'll send you a big, virtual ((((((HUG))))))

I hope things turn out well for you and continue to come here for a chat and some support and empathy.

Be kind to yourself and take care.

Hi Charlotte,

I know how your feeling, I have Crohn's and suffer with my joints and back. I'm on lots of meds as I'm sure you are.

I have good days and bad days but on my bad days I try to remind myself the journey I have come with condition and that I won't let it rule my life no more. I suffered with depression during a really bad bout, but had to take a step back and take control.... not easy until your results are back.

Remember what you've achieved and what you will achieve.

As for cravings try to substitute for a healthier option but one that you enjoy. But if you do have something naughty try to poem only have a little bit

Good luck with your results 🤞

Sorry to hear you are feeling unwell Charlotte I hope you get favourable test results back.

Take comfort and advice from others on here like danny1990 who are the ones that have the experience and knowledge to advise you better than people like myself as they experience your health issues too.

Let us know how you get on and I hope you soon get rid of the joint pain and feel happier. ❤💐 Best wishes Bev
