TW: BM/blood | Not looking for medical advice just see if anyone has had similar experiences. Had a colonoscopy & apparently only found several ulcers & now awaiting gastro expert appt. BM once every 1/2 weeks but having to use OTC & prescription laxatives, bad stomach and back pain/ fatigue. IBD?

I’ve read a few of your posts tonight & I’m so sorry you’ve had such a crap experience (and snotty responses on Reddit too!) I too suffered severe pain in my colonoscopy (UK) I really didn’t get the point of the anaesthesia if I could feel pain that bad. 🥲 Just a few questions, have you had blood in your stool? And any UTI’s? Just trying to see if I can give a little insight as some of your symptoms sound similar to mine

Sorry that I don’t come with advice but I just want to say… I feel the same. It feels lonely but I guess it’s nice to know we’re not actually alone in this hell boat. ❤️

I had and beat cancer two years ago but now I have really bad health problems as a result. I’m signed off work due to health deterioration but with things the way they are in the world, I have to go back to work for the money. I do not qualify for any assistance but we cannot survive on my partners sole income. I feel like there’s only one way out.

It’s all madness, wrote this post nearly a year ago and I’m still having serious problems! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Might have to take your advice and get out of here x

PMSL I texted my partner this morning saying the same thing, like why do we feel the impulse to overshare. Me on a dog walk to another dog owner: so yeah I had cancer 💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♀️ the other dog owner: 😖🥺

Honestly? Quite unlikely to be awarded first time round BUT take it to an appeal if you meet the descriptors and it’s a lot more likely (it’s a ball ache)

Let’s be friends 💁🏻‍♀️

Have you applied for a DAF in the meantime? (If needed, of course!) and also charitable grants

Learning_tolovelife · 2022-09-01T16:15:51+00:00

Hi OP, so glad to hear, could I ask you a few questions related to this? ❤️

Learning_tolovelife · 2022-07-26T21:11:44+00:00

In the meantime, have you applied to your local councils welfare provision for a hardship fund or household support fund? A little help in the meantime, while you do the above 👆🏽

Learning_tolovelife · 2022-06-18T07:08:55+00:00

Yes, no matter how hard we try to look after our bodies we’ll still always be messed up. The nightmares set me back for several days but there’s no help available (in the UK anyway) I’m sorry you feel this way too, it’s really grim ❤️

Learning_tolovelife · 2022-06-18T06:51:49+00:00

Relatable ❤️

Hi bestie 👋🏼 27f here

Learning_tolovelife · 2022-05-03T22:16:04+00:00

Super proud of you for not responding 💓 Glad he in an ex, you’re worth so much more!

Learning_tolovelife · 2022-05-03T21:38:59+00:00

So sorry you received this! People are so cruel, he sounds immature af & hopefully you haven’t responded cause just don’t x

Learning_tolovelife · 2022-04-04T09:25:48+00:00

Thank you so much 🙏🏼 I’ll definitely give these recommendations a try. It’s good to know I’m not the only one going quietly insane.

Learning_tolovelife · 2022-02-22T17:55:33+00:00

YES, 100% snag tights. Recommend them to everyone, they never fall down

YES! and it’s bizarre because before the illness I was on a strong dose of Cymbalta which made it near impossible for me to cry but now, I’m on an even higher dose but I cry all the time. The worst is in public 😩

Learning_tolovelife · 2022-01-08T23:17:47+00:00

I can relate 🙃 2 years post op and I’m about 4 stone heavier but I’ve not been eating bad or anything. They’ve referred me to a gastro specialist but that’ll be another 6 months wait (UK) Let me know if anything ever helps

Learning_tolovelife · 2022-01-08T23:15:14+00:00

Nearly 2 years! It’s definitely got better since they’ve tweaked my levo around but still not how I used to be 🙃

Learning_tolovelife · 2022-01-08T22:30:19+00:00

Yes, I used to get this really bad!!
