I've been dealing with chronic abdominal pain for about 6-7 years now. Occasionally I'll have what I call flare ups where the pain gets significantly worse, typically with a side of lost blood flow to my hands, feet, and nose and severe nausea. But outside of my annoying flare ups the pain is always there, just enough to remind me that something is worth but not enough to knock me down. Unfortunately because I was young adult when it started, I often got overlooked because I wasn't actively bleeding out in the hospital. I still don't have a solid idea of what has been causing my constant pain all these years but with the help of some new doctors we are closing in on what appears to be an autoimmune disease. The current theory is celiac but until I can get in for more testing we won't know.
