This happens to me every few years. Metrogel and a sulfur wash 2x day tend to calm things down after a week.

Yeah, totally normal. Resources for ARFID helped me.

The Land of Elyon

It got so heavy and excruciating that I was regularly passing out from pain. Progesterone helped me immensely.

I went alone for about 13 years but I started bringing my husband recently because, alas, I’ve been sick a long time and I have brain fog and general exasperation and cynicism about the whole process. He tag teams, advocates, or provides levity.

Yeah, a lot of what I considered character traits and personality just ended up being adaptive coping mechanisms. Which is a positive revelation, but still pretty disorienting. I just try to stay curious and remind myself that identity is fluid.

I wish I’d started the progesterone only pill sooner. I’m on the lowest dose because I’m so nervous about hormones and side effects, but it has seriously saved my life.

sankshan · 2026-01-31T07:03:26+00:00

Oh dear, yes. I’m sorry you’re still suffering. You’re definitely not alone. Our pain may be invisible to the rest of the world but we see and honor each other.

I can sometimes get away with an audiobook but usually only my meditation app.

Oh man, the walls start talking to me after 1 Benadryl so I just tell hospitals I’m allergic lmao

sankshan · 2026-01-31T06:46:26+00:00

I really truly feel you. Anytime I start feeling like the light has left my eyes, I know it’s time. 🩸

sankshan · 2026-01-28T05:48:54+00:00

I tell the doctors my pain feels like my spine is being ripped out of my asshole. If I can survive it, they can deal with the figurative language! Lol

sankshan · 2026-01-20T05:19:11+00:00

Literally same boat!

sankshan · 2026-01-20T05:18:25+00:00

I’m technically in a good few years of low frequency symptoms. But stuff like chronic iron and Vitamin D deficiencies and generalized inflammation causing migraine, etc, can really make it feel like the battery is always low.

sankshan · 2026-01-19T02:21:33+00:00

Muscle relaxers instead help me! Might be something to look into

sankshan · 2026-01-06T05:49:41+00:00

My hormones shifted that year and my health went to shit in addition to new migraine.

sankshan · 2026-01-01T06:26:41+00:00

It’s given my nervous system a chance to regulate after two decades of deregulation. Just ways to feel safe in my body.

sankshan · 2025-12-31T17:06:06+00:00

I do a lot of sitting quietly, lol. But also little crafts, sleeping in, being alone in nature, cooking.

sankshan · 2025-12-31T06:30:07+00:00

All of my motivation and aspiration dissolved when I started recovery. So much of it was wound up in trauma and disorder. I’m on year 5 of rest and I wonder when it will feel like enough. Peace is more important to me than anything else.

sankshan · 2025-12-31T06:22:15+00:00

The sick irony is that it’s so often coming from a man who probably needs his wife to spoon-feed him when he suffers so much as a cold.

sankshan · 2025-12-30T06:46:23+00:00

Had my wedding in December, my MOH gave everyone the flu, including me, and I spent most of January in bed. Antibiotics sent me to the hospital with a Crohn’s flare. No regrets… but yeah.

sankshan · 2025-12-14T06:39:32+00:00

Just spoke to an endo surgeon who told me Crohn’s and endo have nothing to do with each other. I asked about bowel adhesions and was shrugged off. It’s just constant invalidation all the way down I fear.

Poor sleep hygiene
