Hi. My girlfriend has ADHD, Autism, POTS and Crohn’s. We don’t exactly know the details of her gut issues. She experiences a lot of chronic fatigue which takes an insane toll on her mood on top of debilitating her. I want to know what I can do, as her partner, to help her with this. I already run errands and try to encourage her, make sure she feels heard, etc., but it doesn’t feel enough. I also educate myself to really know what we’re dealing with.

I also want to ask people who’ve been in my shoes what they’ve done to stay positive themselves, what they’ve done to not lose themselves in the process of helping their loved one.

I know the situation is not hopeless. I know there’s something we can do. I have to know what.

Thank you.

Hi. I have naturally enormous tonsils that keep getting infected (three infections in February alone despite three different courses of antibiotics and constant discomfort due to allergies), so I finally decided to get them removed. Aside from obvious instructions such as drinking fluids, taking painkillers regularly, etc., do you have any unorthodox remedies that helped you following your tonsillectomy? My mom suggested ice cream, since it did her a lot of good when she got rid of them. Also, what was the pain like? Are you happier now? Do those of you with recurrent infections (tonsillitis, strep, etc.) keep getting them?
