Just sort of drained,
I am still very tired from seeing a professional for an evaluation of a condition that I might have but also might not have.
It’s been back and forth wether I have this condition or not but hopefully this will provide the answers finally.
Whatever the result will be I will be happy with just knowing so it can put an end to this back and forth situation.
Aside from that,
I’m still losing weight though I don’t try to. I suspected it was my Crohn’s disease but turns out my Crohn’s is under control.
Is it possible to have the losing weight symptom while in remission?
It’s something I’ve never asked before as it never crossed my mind if you can be in remission but still feel symptoms.
My stomach pain comes and goes but is manageable while fatigue is and has been terrible, my lack of appetite is severe;
I never feel hungry and when I try to eat I still feel nauseous; I had been taking medicine for gastritis, the medicine has run it’s course but the symptoms haven’t improved still and it’s not my Crohn’s.
I don’t know why it is lasting so long.
My mental health is fine in a way; on one hand my depression is mild but on the other hand my anxiety is moderate to severe.
I know it’s from trauma as a result over a certain event; I feel it has been so bad due to appointments about my mental health as it revolves around mental health.
Unfortunately I have no solutions as I am having another appointment tomorrow that has to be in person and will likely be about the trauma.
I will hope I will be able to manage it but it gives me so much anxiety I don’t want to talk about the issue at all.
