stomachissues

I can't even begin to describe how horrible 2026 is. It's like a meteor imbued with a curse targeting specifically my family has hit earth

This is also my third attempt at sharing my story. First attempt, I got halfway through my story before reaching the character limit; second attempt, I simplified it, pressed post, and nothing happened. Here we are, attempt three, even further simplified

My physical health has been on a decline, I've had constant stomach aches every day since February 16th, the entire future of my education has been destroyed by one selfish man, and unaided by many others, leading us to try and pursue a lawsuit, but 2026 has been too hectic for us too, my sister had a pacemaker put in at age 14, not too surprising as my uncle had his put in at 16 for the same reason, and my nan has been diagnosed just yesterday (September 23rd) with a cancerous tumour in her intestine. Her prognosis is good, but the story is fucking insane and unexpected, and there are many situations in which she could've unexpectedly lost her life. Her story starts with her brother dying at age 60 unexpectedly from a heart attack, and now the family is rather strongly investigating our heart health. I swear cardiological investigations are related to the discovery of bowel cancer. There is now a concern I may have the same issue as my sister and uncle due to a rather severe syncope episode I had on Monday, different from any of the few fainting episodes I've had, but the same as many of my sister's; a syncope episode that could've been caused by bradycardia or even my heart briefly stopping. My mother also has a very large gallstone, which she will be having surgery for on the 30th, which may result in her losing her gallbladder, something both her mother (my aforementioned nan) and brother (not the one with the pacemaker) have had to have done themselves. And this does not even cover everything with my stepcousins, also having had physical health issues manifest this year, including asthma and epilepsy, and an ongoing domestic violence case which we have been working towards aiding since 2024, and it only got worse this year, and now the children's, toddlers by the way, mother has a restraining order against her, although she appealed it on the 21st, however, and so now they now have a contract with similar conditions to the VRO, slightly lesser, but should she break it, it will be back to the restraining order #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #Cancer #HeartDisease #Epilepsy #Depression #FamilyAndFriends #fuck2026 #FuckCancer #bowelcancer #Legal #stomachissues #Fainting #Asthma #gallstone #Depression #Anxiety #Education #LivingWithPOTS #endthisyearalreadyplease

Hi I'm new to the mighty and I am in need of some advice! I have diagnosed Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Central Sensitization Syndrome, Endometriosis and Symptomaticly diagnosed POTS (waiting for appointment with cardiologist) and I am going for a late holiday dinner with my grandma, aunt parents and my spouse. Now like alot of granny's she loves to makesure everyone eats enough. Except for me eating is extremely painful and makes me get monsterously bloated and my fatigue gets bad as POTS makes you feel all wonky after eating. But she always keeps insisting. Currently I have one small meal a day of chicken and potatoes as they cause the least pain. So does anyone have any advice of how to nicely, make her understand that I simply can't eat all the food the others eat? #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #PosturalOrthostaticTachycardiaSyndrome #IrritableBowelSyndromeIBS #stomachissues
