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.

Hi, my name is Rae. I'm here because I have a lot of chronic disorders. I’m only 23 and it is almost impossible to live. Every year I get diagnosed with something new. I don’t know anyone like me. I know people who have the individual issues and disorders. But I’ve never met or talked to anyone who struggles with everything. I just want to know more about these things and how to deal with them. I came from nursing but it’s different to be in it. It’s also taken over my whole life to where I cannot work. I pass out consistently. I just need someone who can understand some what.

The constant battle between sweating and pain!

This is me every day!!!!! I am always hot and sweaty from my POTS but need the heating pad for my pain. My husband knows if I ask him to fetch my heating pad he needs to bring the fan as well hahaha #PosturalOrthostaticTachycardiaSyndrome #POTS #BackPain #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #ChronicPain #JointHypermobilitySyndrome #PolycysticOvarySyndrome

Help Metformin users!

Hey my PCOS buddies. I am thinking it’s time to try metformin. I am wondering what people’s experiences were with it: good, bad, side effects?
I am desperately hoping for something to help with weight loss and regulate my cycles. I also have POTS so I am a bit worried how the meds may affect that. #PolycysticOvarySyndrome #POTS

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* 😅

POTS life

Spent the whole day in bed trying to hydrate. POTS + rhinovirus + PCOS flare up and painful cyst+ ER visit for fluids and CT scan with contrast = my butt kicked 🦵😒🤧🥱🤒There is not enough salt and Gatorade in the world to keep me hydrated when I am sick. Praise God for IV fluids!!!!🙌
