Today was better,
I got up and took my medicine with a complete breakfast for once as it’s something I need to work on.
Eating has always been a struggle for me due to various factors; mostly my GI issues but also just never being hungry despite going without food for a whole or nearly all day.
But also the texture of the food; it could be my ASD causing my distaste for certain texture like not looking gooey cheese.
However,
I just can’t eat; not hungry, gross texture, stomach irritation, feeling disgusted and nauseous while eating anything no matter what it is.
I was on medication for gastritis for a while and all medication has run it’s course; I should feel better right?
But not really.
The stomach pain hasn’t been too severe but the disgusted feeling and lack of appetite is so intense that I find it difficult to eat anything and there have been days I haven’t eaten anything at all because I’m not hungry.
It’s not my Crohn’s apparently as it’s still in remission but I’m struggling so much with eating and I don’t know why.
My physical pain was average today but it seems it gets worse particularly at night for some reason; left knee and both thighs.
The thigh pain is relatively new and I can’t pin point a cause.
But, more positive things are worth mentioning to me as well!
My win for today; I went outside for a few minutes and got to enjoy nature and watched some birds.! 🦋
