Wow!!! Your a true warrior and I always say there are people out there that have it worse. I feel your pain ....your a fighter and a hero in my eyes.  Bless you and Iā€™m glad I got to read your story ā¤ļøšŸ™šŸ»šŸ’ŖšŸ¼

It's funny you say that "have it worse".  I worked as a patient transporter for radiology in a hospital.  I got to see a lot of patient charts and talk with various people.  There's always someone who has it worse that would kill to have your situation. I imagine someone dying from cancer would gladly take 10-15 painful bowel movements a day, or someone who is blind might even trade up just to be able to see again.  It helps us keep things in perspective.  At the end of the day, if your are suffering at any level below healthy, it's a huge challenge.

I'll tell you one thing I think we are truly blessed to have, and that's the internet and this community.  Being sick can keep you isolated from others, and this is a great outlet so that you don't feel alone.  I image if we all lived within driving distance of each other, we'd probably all find ways to get together even when we aren't feeling well.  Thanks for reading and keep on keepin on!
