10 reasons to join the Crohn’s and Colitis Support Group

1. It’s full of other people with connections to IBD.
2. It’s a safe forum to ask any and all IBD questions.
3. It’s a way to connect with others on the Mighty community.
4. I’m one of the group leaders (living with #UlcerativeColitis ), and I’m pretty cool.
5. We want to normalize talking about poop.
6. We do Q&As with partners like Girls with Guts.
7. It’s a small but “Mighty” community that we want to grow.
8. It’s supportive.
9. Why not?
10. Do it today!

Would y’all in the #EhlersDanlosSyndrome community say this is hyper mobile? I’m working with my doctors to get an hEDS diagnosis. I have several hyper mobile joints as well as passing the Beighton Scale. Multiple other systemic issues as well - been diagnosed with POTS, Interstitial Cystitis, IBS and more. #EDS #JointHypermobilitySyndrome 🦓🦓🦓

I'm new here!

Hi, my name is Sunflowerlilypad0186. I'm here because I have struggled with Anxiety GAD and Depression, Panic Attacks etc since I was 14, I am now 26 will be 27 this year and I’ve been struggling a lot with super bad severe anxiety and depression, but it’s been really scary because my body symptoms are different than usual, now leading to bad full body stress cramps especially the legs/ calves, sometimes my hands. Being lightheaded, faint feeling or dizzy, and IBS etc, sleep issues. Last year I had really bad Sensorimotor / Somatic OCD, especially the breathing type. I really hope things get better I feel really down :( and feel like I’ll be struck this way, I try so hard but I always feel stressed.

How do I get doctors to take me seriously?

These past four months have been one of the worst times of my life and I'm at a point where no doctor is helpful at all. The "it's all in your head" bullshit is stronger than ever right now. From both my family members and the doctors. I can't find any doctor at all that'll take me seriously. What do I do? I'm really desperate.
