Pain spiked to 9

Gonna wake up Pauley for meds. I'm coughing up so much junk and almost puking. I'm gonna take a break from the vape. I need to see if the gummies and vape are causing my gerd to relapse. Or it's possible that the new meds my headache specialist put me on are causing the horrible gerd and acid reflux.
I really really really don't feel good. My throat hurts from coughing so much. And my regrown tonsils feel awful from the near constant acid.
I'm starting to get a migraine just above/beyond my left eye. I've had a few migraines in the last week... The Botox didn't work? Dammit.
Does anyone know anything about nerve ablation? Like my back and hips and SI joints all hurt. Which of my pain points can be done?
I keep coughing and blowing my nose. It feels like wet fire. The throat pain is at 8. I need a hug.

I’m new here!

Hi, my name is sickofbeingsick. I've been diagnosed with severe GERD/acid reflux. Even prilosec isn’t helping. My throat & esophagus have been swollen for 7 days & I’m scared. I’m barely eating or drinking. Even plain water causes swelling & acid. I’ve had to sleep sitting straight upright for 7 nights.

Happy Diabirthday to me

I got my CWD (Children with Diabetes) award for 25 years of type 1 diabetes! Just wanted to share this milestone. It was weirdly emotional to get the medal in the mail and be recognized for one of my hardest invisible battles. 💙

And no, I did not eat too much sugar as a kid. It was a total coincidence being diagnosed on Halloween! Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. 👍
*Been asked that question soooo much* 😅

Breathing very difficult tonight.

GERD like thing is producing a heck of a lot of phlegm which is making it really difficult to breathe. Which causes dizziness and a lot of coughing, to which makes sleeping difficult.

Which reminds me this is going to make living on my own all that more difficult. My pains won't let me work full time, and this GERD like stuff will make me too lightheaded to learn a new career easily. Then on top of that I'll have to spend a lot on food to ensure my GERD wont be too much of a problem. plus I'll have to ensure I pay for a cleaning service as I won't be able to keep my place clean while doing all this, too.

Oh please, oh please, brain. Let me learn a better skill quickly so I can relax.

im new here:)

hi, my name is Lor Eleanor and I've been diagnosed with Undifferentiated connective tissue disease, ibs-c and gerd (+some mental health issues). it's been such a struggle to get those diagnoses. im struggling a bit right now through a flare up i guess, which seems to be triggered by me really just doing anything outside. :') i don't have many things that i do when I'm feeling bad like this, i have trouble laying in bed/falling asleep (its 5 am right now lol) because laying still honestly hurts the most, i get so sore. anyone have any idea or tips for things they do on bad pain days ? i take ibuprofen but it's bad for my stomach and doesn't really do much

I'm not currently on medicine, my rheumatologist appointment was last year but we decided my symptoms weren't worse than the side effects of the medications yet, but lately it has been feeling worse, I've been more active and eating healthier than i ever have yet the pain is worse than ever. i like to try to excersise everyday and it's really hindering me, im worried the pain wont stop unless i rest for a week which i hate doing. xc

I'm just feeling really stuck i guess, like why me :[ any advice is greatly appreciated!♡♡♡

Hi, my name is Linda. I'm here because I have been in the process of getting several diagnosis, and awaiting others to get started, and searching for clues about symptoms I'm experiencing with no answers. My feelings can be best described as being on an deserted island with no compass, no resources to help me survive, wondering if I will ever find my way back home.#MightyTogether #RheumatoidArthritis #Lupus #myopathyoverlapsyndrome #Osteoarthritis #SupraventricularTachycardia #Dyslexia #SleepApnea #Asthma #heartmurmur #Hyperacusis #Tinnitus #Costochondritis #ChronicPain #GERD #Chronicbronchitis #IBS #OpticNeuritis #anemic

When do you stop looking?

I've been chronically ill most of my life. And I've tried A LOT of different things to help or find answers.

But I'm tired.

Worn out.

Exhausted.

Grieved.

I wonder if it's time to stop working so hard to eke out a possibility of feeling better, and just let things be as they are. Live as I am, and let it be enough.

But I'm scared that that's giving up.

Or...is it giving in? Surrendering my denial that this is how it is?

I'd love to know what my Mighty family thinks of this.
