Well now my health is bad! I feel even more depressed than i did. I was meant to have a procedure in hospital but it was so painting it was abandoned. Doctors unsure why i'm in constant pain, hospital unsure and I am definite this is ruining my mental state. I don't want to be here in pain. I've just had enough. Every day i wake up in pain. I can't take any more. I'm persistently tired and can't do before i feel rubbish again. My family think they're experts, my mum thinks she knows best and i am left struggling with it, alone. That's the worst bit. No-one seems to know what this is. Great. Is living your life in constant pain part of depression? How do people cope with it?
I’m so sorry to hear that you are in pain. It is very difficult to live with chronic pain or a chronic illness. Have your doctors looked at autoimmune disease possibilities? Those will often cause unexplained symptoms, that are hard to detect. Look up the symptoms of ME/CFS. Not knowing your history, nor being able to diagnose, it sounds however like might be experiencing an autoimmune response.
I look forward to the time very soon when there will be no more sickness, or pain – mentally or physically. It is a wonderful promise, and one that helps me to feel hopeful even when I am in physical pain.
There is a website where i find articles and videos that are encouraging, insightful, and practical. It is jw.org. It not only offers hope for the future, but it gives solid explanations for why the world is full of so much suffering and pain. Take a look. I am sure you will find it comforting.
Please don’t give up. There is hope ahead.
Ooh you are kind, thanks for replying. I think there is more to this than meets the eye too. I will look at the videos you suggested, as i’m starting to need some positivity. I struggle in the dentist chair let alone something like this. I am going to try to find out why i need this. I have asked to speak to the consultant and my dietitian. I am going to try gluten free, well as much as i possibly can and then see if i still need the test.
Hi kind people who have replied on here. I may have FINALLY discovered why my IBS/health is so bad. I may have coeliac disease, but if i do that’s why i feel so bad all the time. If it’s coeliac disease it’s easy - just no gluten. It may well be OK. Fingers crossed for they’ve finally discovered what this is.
