Finding Hope and Connection with Chronic Illness

Hello, I finally found a great doctor and treatment plan that's been helping me get life back, after surfing for years and having become bedridden. It took away everything. The roller-coaster ride I've had through trying to find answers and the way people and doctors have treated me over the years took an emotional, physical, and mental toll on my health. I am wanting to meet new people, people who understand I'm not being negative, but have lived a different path. I want to meet people that understand my health condition don't define me, but they are a huge part of my identity.

I'm glad you've finally gotten some answers and found a doctor that's been able to help you. I'm still trying to figure out the underlying cause to some of my stuff, and I haven't found any effective treatment yet. These illnesses have taken everything away from me as well, and they're stealing my youth away. This shit changes you. And it's hard for those who have never experienced it to understand what it is we go through, they can just go about their days not even being very aware of their bodies, and get to take it all for granted. It's really isolating to be in this situation, because so few people are in a similar boat, especially so young in my case. If you ever need someone to talk to or vent to, someone who has been there, my dms are open. oh btw, I love jubilee lol (assuming it's a reference to the YouTube channel)

I can relate!! I feel so isolated sometimes and useless because my IBS keeps me from being productive so often when I have goals that I don't accomplish!!
