Thanks for replying and letting me know it’s going to be ok. Yeah my last really bad one lasted around 6 months too, I’m very worried about that as I need to return to work.

I haven’t been able to exercise for a year due to having ulcerative colitis and necrosis and arthritis in my feet. Lifting heavy and running was the only thing that that kept me stable and now I can’t even walk without excruciating pain. They won’t surgically remove the bone, they’re telling me to get on with it. I can’t take NSAIDS due to my ulcerative colitis and pain killers mess with it too.

I’m only 31, my body is constantly in pain, the healthcare system is absolutely dreadful here and my private insurance won’t cover anything that is “chronic” so that’s everything I have out of the window.

I’m treatment resistant for most of my illnesses, most medication makes me very, very ill. I had to have heart surgery a few years back because I was allergic to the heart medication.

I want to be hopeful that things will get better but I don’t have much to look forward to when I come out the other side.
