I'm new here!

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

Little Reminders

Today has been one of those days that you come home from and feel like it all could be alright🥹 I spent some time with family and the new baby in the family and got to give him cuddles and love- always a good idea! Feeling excited about all the new family arrivals and all the love coming our way. Then I got to pay a visit to my childhood bestie (who I don’t get to see much atm because of life) and got to meet her gorgeous new baby girl 😍 all the tiny little smiles and that new baby smell!!! The joy it’s brought me to see her little family, her amazing mam abilities and her wonderful partners support☺️ Sometimes it really is the small things that make you remember all the wonderful, strong people in your life and also- how far you’ve come with what you’ve had to go through. And then you remember that you can do it again and get to a better place again, cause you’ve don’t it before! It might not be today, or even tomorrow but one day❤️❤️ #IrritableBowelSyndromeIBS #Endometriosis #Depression

Overwhelmed

I can’t stop crying today :( since January, I haven’t had even a few days without dibilitating symtoms. Everytime I try to start over and start fresh and feel like I’m coming to close to being out of this flare and having a little relief- something new comes into the mix or I’m back to 11/10 pain. I need a job and soon so I can live! So I can pay for my meds, my hospital bills, my food so I can eat the right diet, my bills! And everything else! But I know, in my health, it’s not good for me, especially right now. I feel so envious of everyone in my life, as I watch them go out and do the things they love and live their lives. I just wish so badly to be able to do that. And I hate that I have nothing to tell them, no news, nothing new, everyday when they come home. I’m still just here in my pjs like I was when they left. I feel like every day is just the same thing and I feel miserable 😓 I don’t know what to do anymore #Endometriosis #IrritableBowelSyndromeIBS #Depression
