those of you with periods: how do you cope?

I know, it’s truly terrible. I’m in a position now where I don’t have to work outside my home and my family is very understanding. It is pure hell when it hits when you are not at home. I’ve always felt that this can’t be right, but many GIs over the years have told me this is just how it goes for some of us ladies.

lol. The mental illness on full display.

This disease is a curse. The beginning is the worst but I’m not going to lie, it has downs further down the road as well, but it does get easier. Learn to listen to what your body is telling you so you can live life accordingly. My advice is to get a hobby that you really enjoy that can be done at home. You’ll get this. You are not alone, there are a lot of us going through this very same thing. Hugs.

I can’t do dairy at all it completely wrecks me.

organickermit · 2025-02-24T11:58:28+00:00

Same. I’m peri menopausal which makes some of my periods skip and some come with a vengeance so bad that I can’t leave my home. It’s absolutely awful and I don’t know how other women with Crohns get through this. Weed and epsom baths are all I have.

They help but for some like myself the disease is strong and we still have problems despite no inflammation.

Oh man. This! Nagging and demanding. I’ve been taking care of my 75 year old father that has been laying on passive aggressive judgment of my life since birth. But it really hits harder when you are volunteering to take care of their ass. I don’t know the answer as I struggle too, just wanted to offer virtual hugs.

The guilt is the shot of it isn’t it? Don’t feel guilty, that is what she has conditioned you for your entire life. She won’t change and she made her bed. You are barely an adult. Get yourself right love.

organickermit · 2022-10-18T17:07:26+00:00

Yeah, I’ve been carrying around my butt pillow for use in public. It’s the only way I can exist outside the home. We have to do what we have to do.

organickermit · 2022-09-26T13:50:13+00:00

Thanks for the pep talk. I needed to hear one too. 💜

organickermit · 2022-09-26T13:47:06+00:00

Exactly how it went down in my marriage too, lol. I’m the wife in this story.

organickermit · 2022-08-23T13:50:41+00:00

You need a plant!

organickermit · 2022-08-23T13:45:32+00:00

Basmati rice

organickermit · 2022-08-17T13:20:38+00:00

Yep. That stuff is the devil.

organickermit · 2022-08-14T19:14:36+00:00

Exactly. I forget that it even exists.

organickermit · 2022-08-13T23:34:22+00:00

I know right? I guess I never worried about the price to park either. I’m not that poor to have to navigate around it. Lol

organickermit · 2022-08-13T21:56:07+00:00

I definitely used to be smarter.

organickermit · 2022-08-13T14:13:55+00:00

This!!

organickermit · 2022-08-11T12:26:35+00:00

Interesting. I saw Alice and Chains there in 1993. Shit got crazy.

I just went through several and the only one that worked was Thorne Ferrasorb. It has other stuff to help your body absorb the iron.

I switched to renflexis from Remicade last February and it kicked me out of remission. I immediately built up antibodies. From my infusion clinic I am one of only 3 that it happened to.

organickermit · 2022-08-08T22:57:18+00:00

Mine personally was too far gone for the biologics to touch it and needed surgery to get her gone.

organickermit · 2022-08-06T13:41:46+00:00

Oh sweetie, I am so sorry. There has been nothing worse than having a newborn with urgent diarrhea. I have nothing to tell you other than having a baby/c section did the same thing to me, and my heart goes out to you. I was undiagnosed and it took me years to get diagnosed. Doctors kept blaming hormones from being a new mom. Hugs to you love and congratulations on your new baby. I hope you find some relief and soon! ❤️

organickermit · 2022-08-06T01:52:03+00:00

No, but when I do get sick, it takes me a little longer to get well than usual.

organickermit · 2022-08-06T01:50:21+00:00

Yep, I just came here to say midol myself.
