I've been in remission for like a little over a month for my Crohn's and let me just say...WHAT THE FUCK!?

I look MUCH better! How did I have like 7 different doctors trying to tell me I'm just a hypochondriac. I even had my peds pcp go and tell my other doctors that I was a hypochondriac.

Only my psychiatrist and peds gyno believed me.

MOTHERFUCKER OCD DOESN'T CAUSE YOU TO LOSE 60+ POUNDS IN LIKE 6 MONTHS 😭💀. Like I was out here sleeping 13-16 hours a day, kept forgetting shit, was getting auditory hallucinations, my hands and feet were purple like all of the time (no reynards), my vitamins were all low, borderline or defiencient. I was getting sick every 2 seconds and would take a month to recover and was shitting for 2-3 hours a day. My stomach constantly hurt and I was always nauseous. My body ached all the time, hand tremors, constant yeast/bv infections.

But yes... all in my head.

I feel like the fact that I could only drunk mango juice and lime jarritos without pain should have also been a calling card. Though let's just go with 3 day booty bleed because of a zinc vitamin.

Then had a colon cancer scare, finally got a priority gi appointment and colon/endoscopy.

Literally by the time I got someone to listen I was told hey we are going to try this heavy duty steroid for like 2 months, if we find that the inflammation has not gone down we will have to remove a part of your small intestine.

It took me 10 months to get an answer to be told yes you were right but also we might need to do surgery because no one listened.

Thankfully the steroids worked and brought down the inflammation enough where I could get on tremfya and let that med do it's thing. What the hell though?

Being in remission right now has me feeling crazy because I'm just like how did people think I was lying?

Beware I curse a lot

I work in a tipped industry and have been talking to this guy for a bit. He's heard me on so many occasions speak about the mistreatment I get from my customers. Usually some form of weird racist sexual comments.

He's asked me oh why don't you just go to a different job? Like my dude you are a software engineer, I'm in nursing school. The flexibility I need to finish school is why I work in these places. He didn't have to work in school since his parents paid all his bills. I was totally fine with that knowledg, like working and being in college at the same time sucks. Like love that for you.

We are at the restaurant and this asshole is literally complaining about the sweetest server ever. The place was obviously short-staffed and tbh our food didn't even really come out late. This chick was RUNNING everywhere, so nice, so polite.

I thought we were just gonna split the bill but he offers to pay. I'm like um okay. I see he puts down no tip. I'm like um...you're going to tip right? He's like no, if we keep tipping at these establishments restaurants will keep relying on us to pay their workers wages.

I told him that was stupid because if he actually cared he'd be starting shit with department of labor and not stiffing this nice lady. Especially after she gave us excellent service.

He said he's not tipping for her bringing over some plates. I told him he should be tipping her for laughing at his lame ass jokes. He got mad and is going to tell ME that I should be grateful that someone like HIM💀 took someone like me out. Then said I'm lucky I'm pretty because if not no one would take my frail ass out.

Girl fuck you. Anyway I told him eat shit and die then got up.

I was done at this point and I had like 30 bucks on me and gave it to our server. Walked out because what the fuck?

My dude you are making well over 6 figures. You couldn't tip her 15 bucks. Fuck off. God it's hard enough to find a decent guy/girl who is accepting of my disabilities. I feel like everytime someone asks me out on a date they play nice and then when we get to the date they end up being a fucking asshole.

Do people just think I should accept their piece of shit behaivor because I'm disabled? Fuck you, I'll kick your ass.

A lot of people tell me I'm to strict, I give no fucks. If you can't treat others well I will not be spending my time with you. I'm not going to let myself recieve LESS because you think I deserve less.

It's so crazy because I literally had my fucking airway nearly get swollen shut this week which HE KNOWS and that's why we had to reschedule the date till today and he pulls this? What is this traumatizing ass week??

I don't know if this is the right place to put this but I did read that PFD happens pretty frequently to people with Crohn's disease.

I just think it's crazy that I finally go into remission, I'm like I want to get back out there. I'm starting college I'm going to be free to love.

I go to my gyno for some issues I had been having. She can't even get the peds speculum in, then even with a heavily lubed up finger can't barely get that in. I get diagnosed essentially on the spot with PFD and a referral to a pt.

This disease is just...such a gift giver...what the hell man. Does anyone here have expierence with this??

So I became disabled officially over a year ago but I have been getting sick for about 3 years give or take. I was paranoid, expierencing severe mood swings, memory loss, auditory hallucinations and probably more idk. I'm in remission finally and want to reconnect but obviously just because I was sick doesn't mean she has to forgive me. Though for how close we were and I mean spoke everyday for hours, constantly hanging out, like I'd say platonic soul mate level. My brain started convincing me that she hated me so I blocked her. That was almost 2 years ago.

I texted her explaining myself and saying hey it's cool if you don't want to talk but I have 0 idea if it's her number still or if I'm blocked. I still have her discord and I'm unblocked there. Should I text her there and be like hey like I texted you on your number but idk if that's your number anymore but I want to reconnect if not feel free to block me.

I don't know how would yall react? Idk, this is first month actually just feeling like...me again? So I have literally 0 idea what to do.

I am a Hispanic woman who lives in the bronx, I like living in the bronx. I work at a coffee shop on the upper west side of Manhattan with a bunch of white transplants. When I say I live in the bronx I get a "oh wow really? It's pretty dangerous over there." I'll also occasionally get like an Ew look. Anytime I speak to a transplant and I tell them I live in the bronx I get a negative response, sometimes they'll make a joke about shootings or call it ghetto.

The casual elitism and racism from people who aren't from nyc extend towards the bronx is crazy. Especially since places like Brooklyn or Queens used to be similar or exactly like the bronx. Brooklyn is unrecognizable and a lot of the culture is gone but I guess it's what these people prefer.

It's like you guys come here diss what made New York, NEW YORK and then gentrify the area.

What's worse is that these people who I speak to can barely afford to live because they want to move to the rich areas and have to live in a closet with 3 roommates.

I honestly rather these folks continue to hate on the bronx because truly I don't want them over here. It's just mind boggling that someone would move to a city and diss a pretty important part of it.

My stupid fucking job didn't send anyone for like 5 months to clean the ice machine. So me and my coworkers who actually have been consistently getting sick a bunch and not understanding why....this is why.

I hate these people.

They haven't told anyone about what happened. Like none of my coworkers know. My Gerd has progressed into a fucking grade 3 hernia that hasn't been responsive to any medication, my thyroid is damaged, I can't get into remission, I keep getting sick, my sinuses are constantly inflamed and that's literally been the past 3 months of my life. Including all the neurological issues I've been experiencing for the past couple months. Literally at 21 just found a bunch of white spots on my brain during my last mri.

I HATE these people.
