Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

Hi guys,

I have a theory that i cant find any research on. I have a question for you guys, but heres some background.

My mom has ulcerative colitis. It was really bad when I was a baby, she said 30 to 40 times a day. She was breastfeeding.

I have BPD, but was not subjected to any child abuse.

I have a theory that I was accidentally traumatized by my mom constantly having to put me in my crib to use the bathroom.

*** Does anyone else have IBD and a child with bpd? What is/was your experience?***

Sorry for the sudden absence!
I have a lot of things going on at the moment and have many milestones close together with appointments.

Biggest milestone is that I’m seeing a doctor for my left knee pain after three years!

I’m very nervous about the appointment though as I’m worried it’ll just be getting to know the doctor and the doctor getting know you with no treatment being done or recommendations or because I’m so young they’ll dismiss me.

I don’t know if it falls under health anxiety as I don’t think anything major is going on with me but rather I’m anxious about being dismissed or misunderstood.

I’m also in a lot of pain because of my stomach too, I have IBD, Crohn’s disease, and when it gets close to my infusions the pain just ramps up really bad to the point I can’t really bend over to pick something up for example.

But I’m being optimistic as my infusions will likely help and everything gets sorted out.

Sorry for my absence! 🦋

Hello Mightys, first I want to thank everyone for the suggestions and support I got on my post!

Secondly for some reason my previous attempt at a post didn’t go through so now I have to retype everything.

The past few showers and days have all been the same exhausting and irritating experience;

Nausea, Dizziness, Faintness, Shaking, Tremors, Winded, Fast Heartbeat, and Exhaustion.

I have to repeatedly sit down every minute while attempting to shower which is very unpleasant as there is nowhere to sit and I end up sitting on the shower floor and it’s very uncomfortable.

Those who suggested a shower stool, I am looking into it and can see how helpful it would be; it would make me not dread showering and make the task overall easier for my chronically ill body.

I did finally reach out to a doctor and got back from them, I will see them soon.

I didn’t mention or suggest PoTS though I know it was mentioned previously, I’m just too shy to be that direct, but I will be seen and likely go through a test that should make it see if anything indicates that.

I will keep all you informed and share how things go. 🦋
