People just love to compare their pain to mine so often. I get this the most from my mom, who does have a chronic illness that I also have. But this does not mean our pain levels are the same. I have quite a few chronic illnesses that cause pain. And i feel like everyone experiences pain differently. Just because we have the same chronic illness does not mean we feel the same way. It makes me so frustrated when i am compared to others who also have chronic illness. it just doesn’t feel fair.

Hello everyone! i’m unsure if anyone else is having issues but I use the brand “Functional Formularies” Liquid hope meal replacement for my feeding tube and the last few boxes of feedings i’ve received have been very chunky and hard to pour, almost like it’s not blended all the way. i wanted to see if anyone else was having issues with this or just me?

I’ve been told a lot recently to stop talking so negatively about my life because it apparently makes other people uncomfortable. But how i see it is why shouldn’t i talk about how i feel? it’s my life and I have to live with the issues i have, mostly revolving around chronic pain. Should i really not be talking about it to make others feel more comfortable?

Hi! i just started working at WFM and im having a hard time finding outfits to wear. so im wondering what people wear usually?

I’ve been on dicyclomine on and off for over two years. i started taking it again recently and instead of it helping, i’ve had some of the worse stomach cramps i’ve ever had in my entire life. So bad to the point of me crying. and i’d like to say i have a pretty high pain tolerance too. my IBS symptoms have gotten significantly worse since i restarted it. i can barely have a bowel movement at all. it’s mostly mucus and blood. i’m in so much pain and i really don’t know what to do. i think it’s also caused me to have a really bad disassociation period. i haven’t had that since last year at the least.

i will take all and any advice as i am suffering.
