UC.crohns & Ibd- c.

I have had 27 abdominal surgeries, I have no relief! Everyday I just want the good Lord to take me I am so sickly and I am so sick of being sick I have gone to so many doctors and specialist and no one seems to help me

  1. I am so sorry you feel in this dispair. I do understand exactly how you feel as I have suffered quite a lot to with crohns, although fortunately I haven’t had to have any surgeries and I hope I never do. I have suffered crippling crippling beyond imaginable worse than any child birth and beyond, with excruciating stomach pains over the course of time I’ve had Crohns and constant bad gas problems where it’s near impossible to socialise properly without lots of disruption and annoyance. I have also felt a number of times exactly the same way as you - saying that exact same thing to myself BUT you mustn’t loose hope my friend, keep saying to yourself that relief is around the corner, a cure is around the corner, believe truly that miracles can happen too and in the mornings, even when you’re struggling, say positive things to yourself, positive affirmations like “I deserve to be healthy” “I am a fighter” “I deserve to be happy” “I am loved” “I will get through this” “power of now” “just breathe” “deep breathes help to ease the pain”. I’m sending much love your way and thinking of you at this very challenging time for you ❤️🙏

    1. Thank you so much! Unfortunately I've had 27 abdominal surgeries and I haven't been able to get any help! I am a widow and I am all by myself! I do have pcas, other than that I'm all by myself! I also suffer from vasal vagal syncope,so I Black out a lot. May God bless you and watch over you and all your loved ones two legs and four legs thanks again for reaching out

  2. My heart goes out to you. I know how you feel, and it is the worst feeling. Have you considered seeing a functional doctor or Naturopathic Medical Doctor? I saw an NMD and it was only then that I began to get better. -Elizabeth (team member)
