Hyperchondriach

i have, Fabriomyalgia, diverticularitist, IBS, ortho athritist, IBS, enlarged liver, etc, but yet again after a falling out with a family member, she got real bitchy and said that I just pretend to be ill, and said I was a hyperchondriac, and only acted. I'm furious, I told her to live a day in my life then decide, however out of all the nasty things she said this hurt me so bad, as I do struggle day to day. Anyone else had this nasty comment?

Hi Trisha! Nobody understands! Think about it we barely understand this disease! Smh. Question for your diverticulitis what symtoms do you have?

I get flare ups, which start with pain in the abdomen and then pain spreads down my left hand side, I can take diaharroah or constipation or both, I then have to go to hospital for intravenous antibiotics, it can be so painful

Yes friends mostly and work colleagues they don't understand as it's mostly an invisible illness it hurts when people have a go at me
