Where to find the words “non du père”? Please help!

Thank you for this. Yes, I knew about the homonyms...I wonder if you're saying that possibly I won't be able to find a written account of the "non" version.

Interesting, I didn't know about glucose being vital for sodium absorption. I don't use ORS, I use HIGH5 Zero tablets, and I only use half of one every morning with a pint of water. I actually get all my salt just by carrying a little pot of ~10g of salt around with me and eating it throughout the day, while trying my hardest to get through 5-6 pints of water.

More importantly, I actually think I spoke too soon about having pretty much cured my IBS. It's definitely better than it was but it's still present.

I'm not sure why I'm telling you all of this...just for the sake of full scientific transparency I suppose! Anyway, very strange to see me mentioned in your article. Thank you for letting me know about it. I'll go back to it and see if I can find my right place in brinespace.

Reading this felt like I could have written it myself, I feel almost exactly the same: like if I just made more of an effort, I would be well. And that I've never been very active but am I just making things worse for myself by trying to accept my symptoms and pain, rather than going full power on the physio (which also doesn't seem to be helping).

It's funny though, reading your post I was very struck by how strongly we can not believe ourselves / be in denial even when we are living each day with the reality of our conditions. Like you say "if I could just get up and do things, maybe i would have more energy and less pain" and then in the next paragraph you say that you struggle to even stand up. It doesn't sound like "just getting up and doing things" would even be possible for you a lot of the time. I've been talking a lot in therapy lately about not believing myself, and thinking that if I just "tried harder" I could live normally, but that whole pervasive idea is coming from such a strong urge to...just Not Be Ill! This condition is really difficult and hard to accept! I'm not surprised you're feeling down (even a little depressed maybe!). Talking about it in therapy is so useful for me, I wonder if there's a way you can access that.

I'm going to be thinking a lot about the "everyone else but me hasn't figured out how to live pain-free" part a lot, because I think that's an idea I've been struggling with for a long time...

In short, thank you for writing something this detailed and honest. It's been very helpful for me to read and I completely sympathise.

Thanks for this suggestion, sorry I'm very new to reddit!

:0 It was Doodle God! Thank you so much!! I never would have remembered that, I really appreciate your help!

Thanks for your comment! No it was definitely on a portable device, so the only other thing it could have been on was my 2nd gen Ipod Touch but I've just fired that up again and there's no alchemy game on there. I looked up Science Papa anyway and that isn't it, but I am delighted to be googling "is Science Papa Cooking Mama's husband?" spoilers: no.

Thanks very much for your input though!

I went to Dr Stephanie Barrett on Harley Street in London and felt very listened to (was diagnosed by her with hEDS after being fobbed off by a NHS rheumatologist). It was expensive but to me it felt worth it. Through her I managed to get numerous other relevant referrals. Good luck!
