I’m new here!

Hi, my name is Beck Noyes. I’ve read many articles from the Mighty online. I was surprised many of my diagnoses didn’t come up when I was signing up. I do have a few more rarer syndromes, including CRPS (complex regional pain syndrome/reflex sympathetic dystrophy - I have it full body and internal organs), gastroparesis, POTS, IBS, GERD, Fibromyalgia, chronic migraines, occipital neuralgia, chronic pain syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, OCD, C-PTSD, and an undiagnosed heart condition, possible undiagnosed other conditions.

Harder each day

I am struggling with chronic pain. I am still trying to work. Yesterday I was so out of breath I had to go in my office and put my head down to catch my breath. Today I tried a nebulizer treatment but it won't last until I need it. I am getting weaker and more in pain every day 😢 gastroparesis, asthma, chronic pain in left lung, PTSD, BPD, GERD, dyslexia, hearing loss, depression, microvascular angina, pretty much everything wrong with me 😩

I’m new here

Hi, I am always looking for new ideas or suggestions for treatment for Narcolepsy, I have struggled to find the right treatment since I also have insomnia and restless leg syndrome. Since the first of the year my insurance company for prescriptions which is new again this year, has decided not to cover the medication I have been taking during the day to help with my daytime sleepiness. I have been taking for approximately 4+ years and works the best for me. It is so frustrating. I feel like I am starting all over again.

Where is Hope? She is so quiet today.

At 6 it was sexual abuse
At 12 it was type 1 diabetes
At 14 it was IBS
At 16 it was PCOS
At 17 they took my gallbladder
At 18 It was Anxiety/Depression
At 20 It became agoraphobia with panic
At 21 Chronic pain began
At 23 it was Migraines
At 24 it was GERD and reflux
At 25 it was kidney stones
At 27 It was fibromyalgia
At 29 it was CFS
At 31 it was balance/vertigo issues
At 32 it was IC
At 34 it became PPPD

I turned 36 two weeks ago and spent it in the ER and still don't know what happened.

Today I am depressed, discouraged, and desperate for some hope.

I'm Christian and I have been praying for answers.

So I thought I'd lay my burdens here and see if you Mighty Warriors have anything to share with me.

I wish you all the best in your own battles as well.

Hi, my name is Jess. I’m here to learn healthy coping mechanisms, receive feedback/advice, and understanding from others who experience the same illnesses as myself.

Hey y'all!

I'm new, my name is Labradored. I am here because of multiple medical and mental health issues. My oldest daughter was born with Rett Syndrome (a pervasive developmental disability with serious health issues) and died from a seizure in my arms at 12 years old in 1993. My youngest daughter died in a car accident at 17 in 2000. They were my only children. I was so very blessed to be their momma.
My medical issues include long term insulin dependent diabetes II, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, Celiac disease, asthma, osteoarthritis, severe food, drug and environmental allergies, dysphasia, Barrett's esophagus, eosinophilic esophagitis, GERD, chronic stomach issues, and IBS.
My mental health concerns include Major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety, OCD and ADHD, and complicated grief related PTSD.
The memes on this site are helping me get through this current gastro flare, I've been nauseous all day today with vomiting and diarrhea for the last 12 hours . This happens about twice per month. My food menu is quite limited due to allergies to gluten, soy, most non citrus fruit, lactose intolerance and tree nut and peanuts. I feel like I develop a new food allergy every year.
My medical issues began shortly after my youngest girl died. Don't let anyone tell you that grief is just an emotional response, grief has wrecked serious havoc on my body.
I have a wonderful husband, supportive and loving friends, a great career as a behavioral health counselor and three fur babies who provide unconditional love and entertainment.
Most of the time I manage pretty well, but when my health conditions flare, it tanks my mental health as well.
Looking forward to sharing and receiving. 🩵🩷 Blessings upon you all.

ALL MY LIFE MEDICAL TEST SUBJECT

Burnt-out from the ignorance that comes from the mouths of so called trained medical professionals whom attended society's schools to acquire a stamp of approval that they specialize in whatever 🙄 and obtained A DEGREE.

concussion migraines & pressure

Hello all, hope everyone is doing alright. Ontop of my already chronic health issues ( EOE, GERD, IBS, anemia ), I suffered a pretty bad blow to the back of my head around 2 weeks ago in my ncaa lacrosse game. Have had a lingering migraine with loads of pressure in my head that won't go away. Was told I have a concussion. Any suggestions for migraine and pressure relief ? I eat super healthy and was told to not do much excersise because it will make the pressure worse. I fear I may have post-concussion syndrome developing. I am very behind in school (nursing major) because of this, so any tips for studying with migraines would be helpfull to!
