I’m new to this group. I appreciate that you feel safe enough to share. You sound at wits end. I empathize with you. Thank God you have an understanding husband. Having Crohn’s, diverticulosis, colitis, fibromyalgia, and arthritis (I’ll stop there), seems most “helps and meds” are short lived. The entire process of living in these nightmares is a personal Hell. Yet, you struggle onward even rage against the pain and suffering. Why? Because you still have Life! Not as you want it to be but AS IS. You are not about to give up or give in…and, I know the fatigue, pain, and anguish can feel overwhelming but You Keep Fighting the good fight! We WIN because we Believe that we can! We don’t look pretty at the finish line but these auto immune disrupters know we put up a good fight with Intent to Win!

What choice do we have ?
I have two grown kids that just got married ( both have been out of the nest since college ) now 30 and 34 . They both just got married in 2022. So I’m sure they will be starting families soon .
I have two loving dogs that depend a lot on me and my husband. I have some close friends but in other states .
No real friends here where I live . My kids are 2 hrs away and we only see them every 3-4 months for a day and a night .
I don’t drive last 4 years in FL , it’s too crazy here .
I want to give up … I really do . I’m tired as you I’m sure are of living like this and being so sick you can’t enjoy a meal , can’t sleep 💤 well , can’t just be w/o suffering .
It’s a double edged sword 🗡️. Staying here or not want to ne here anymore.
Life has not been enjoyable for almost 10 of my 61 years .
I’ve had plenty of ups and downs before that but I was healthy then .
So we keep going …
We pray maybe one Dr. Or that the Lord would help us .
I’m tired ,
We leave for a weeks vacation after 4.5 yrs not going on one .
I’m not at all excited.
That’s sad …
I’m going for my hubby and my pups 🐶.
It’s an Ocean front townhouse two hrs north of us .
I’ll do the best I can .
Thank you for your kind words and I pray 🙏 for you too .
