Stomach hurt less today though it was still here, but I’m grateful it is a lot more mild today.
I am also very lucky I think that my Crohn’s has been responding to the infusion medication well,
It’s been hurting recently most likely because my infusions are coming up and it normally hurts close to that time.
So I’m in a good mood at the moment despite the other physical pain like my left knee.
Though it’s too be expected I think because it has been going on for years despite no diagnosis or explanation.
It’s hard to find a cause as well besides a fall or just me being in sports a lot growing up.
But anyway,
I was able to eat dinner today without too much issues!
That’s progress I think despite me likely needing to eat more, I guess one doesn’t immediately jump back into normal eating habits when facing digestive issues.
Besides that,
My trauma got triggered again but I was able to handle it better than most though some people could tell something was wrong with me.
But I just told them it was nothing,
I feel bad for not being completely honest but it’s just really hard to talk about with other people,
And I don’t know what to say when someone asks.
