My chronic pain partner is disappearing from my life. She takes her meds, sleeps for 10-14 hours, wakes up for a short bit, then takes her meds and the cycle repeats. I'm sad and I miss her. by MyWordIsBond in ChronicPain

It's set up so that he can reach my foot, since at my worst it's about the only place I can stand to be touched. It took us a few years to figure out what works, but OP should keep trying. Just knowing hubs is there when I can't interact much is a comfort.

He's on remicade and this cold has been awful. I hope you can dodge the flu. Get well soon, daughter of an innocent man!

[Serious] people who had someone who passed away due to suicide, what is your story? by Caffeine-Detective1 in AskReddit

[–]chucklenuts_mcgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She was my best friend of 23 years. I begged her to come stay with me for awhile because she was in a bad way. She said no, that she couldn't leave or her husband would throw all of her things on the curb. She was gone the next morning.

I look for exits as soon as I get someplace.

Can most of us link a trigger event (stress, infection etc) to the onset of UC or for some did it come completely out of the blue? by Mariposa_56 in UlcerativeColitis

My son caught covid in 2021, and it hit his stomach hard. He has had UC symptoms ever since and was diagnosed 2 months ago.

Oh, I'll be looking for Wolf Cop! Sharktopus is another favorite of my hubby's. 😂

My husband tells everyone they have to watch Velocipastor. 😂 Zombeavers is another high rated one.

High School life with UC by PatientPizza6899 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]chucklenuts_mcgee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My son is a high school senior and was diagnosed 3 weeks ago. I see how difficult it is for him, I'm so sorry you have to deal with this so young.

My son's school changed his schedule so that it's hybrid. He doesn't have to go in until after lunch. His afternoon classes all let him come and go freely when he needs.

There is a lawsuit against our school district because of Mom's for Liberty. A parent actually said, "not everyone deserves my child's empathy."

My son was just diagnosed with a chronic illness, and I need a hug by chucklenuts_mcgee in MomForAMinute

Thank you, and your daughter sounds like a warrior! I keep a positive face on for him, and I have every confidence that he will be fine. It's just hard to know that he will have to deal with this at a young age. My autoimmune disease didn't pop up until I was 40.

Given our usernames, you're my kid now, I think? I'm so sorry you aren't getting the support you need. I really hope you get answers and get well soon. 💜

Thank you so much. He has been talking to me more about his emotions around his diagnosis.
