RE: I Just got Through the Most Painful Flare of My Life - Sober!

in #life7 years ago

Hi Laura,

Hang in there girl! That's one hell of a battle, not only physically but mentally. Definitely tough times a head. I'am usually only on this site for crypto related post's but decided to branch out. Glad I found your post, its quite inspirational to see. If the isolation gets to you, feel free to reach out! I am definitely a good listener. Good luck with it all.

Thank you. And yes, there is going to still be many tough times ahead. Many people want to simplify it and say how now I am going to get help so I will be back to normal "soon" but in reality this disease will take a long time to heal because even diet changes alone can take 6 months and sometimes you aren't even aware of something that is causing a flare, it could be on the safe list because everyone is different. Couple that with that fact that there is no great treatment for IC and people have to try many different ones usually which all can take about 6 months to work...yeah it won't be a simple recovery.

Getting a doctor made it possible where as fighting alone without insurance it was IMPOSSIBLE to get better so all this did is make it possible not easy, not fast, just possible. :)

Thank you for the kind comment and I will reach out if I need to. Lately, I am just sinking into the isolation and hermitting and feeling angry and robbed of my youth but I am still sober and on the diet.
