  1. "Today is not one of the easy days... I woke up feeling great, but as soon as I got out of the bed and started moving, things chenged drastically. I feel really sick and with colics. I am already used to the pai, so I can cope with it. But the part of being sick and feeling like I want to throw up is a bit harder to tackle. It leaves me exausted and honestly quite depressed. It's not easy to keep a bubbly personality when permanently uncomfortable. But, just 4 more days left to my exam, it's almost there."

  2. "I am not sure I belong to this group. I have not yet been diagnosed, but the doctor's main suspect is IBD. I have very intense symptoms that don't allow me to leave the house, especially because of the pain. I have been like this for a year and a half and I am starting to lose hope that the doctors will ever figure this out."

    1. There are many people here who have had quite a journey with being diagnosed, so don't think you don't belong here!!
