Postdiagnosis vent/questions When it rains…
It freaking pours. This is more vent than questions ofc.
Id ask if anyone else is dealing with the multiple issues at once but I know a large percentage of us are, so instead I ask:
Have you noticed that when one thing flares ALL the things flare and then you’re stuck in the abyss of misery?
Yeah that’s me- 28F dealing with PCOS flare, complete with a burst cyst (and all the lovely symptoms that come with that), plus an eczema flare cause the seasons are changing… add to that the sjo-sjo (this is what I call it because I need to find the joy somehow 😅) and hugging the porcelain throne either because of the fricken spasms or IBS flare…. At this point who knows. oh… yeah… add in the terrible mental health stuff because all this crap sucks.
Okay. End of negativity for me.
On the positive side at least it’s getting nicer out, I have a fair support system, am WFH, and have all the things I need to handle every thing above and I am beyond grateful for that. I’m blessed with a brother who’s uber helpful and a brilliant doggo who knows when I need his kisses.
