Hi KateUK! Thanks for sharing your story and welcome!

Welcome! That's great your brother has a support team :)

Absolutely, you're not alone. I have other health issues too and am "different" and feel very left out when I see healthy and happy girls. Do you get involved with things, like social groups? I have joined one through my college and think it helps a lot. Just talking to people makes me feel...

Absolutely! I agree with everything written there ^^^ You deserve so much better. If you have the opportunity and ability to walk out, I think you should. He is treating you like crap though he has no idea how you feel and that is causing stress which makes everything worse. He is not worth it.

I have to say I agree. I know that sounds sad, but there are just things that I would do much differently. If I had to choose an age, I honestly would choose to be like 15 when things were easy. Most of our parents/families/caregivers did so much for us and most of us had no idea how stressful...

What have they tested? Have you gotten all your hormone levels checked, such as your thyroid?

I get migraines too, and they are very annoying and totally ruin a day or a few days. I agree with the stress bit - that always seems to make everything worse. I have actually seem multiple articles on "Stress is making you sick". I sure hope you can find what is causing yours so you can get...

When you say 'greatest success', how great would you say it is? Is your pain a little better or a lot better? I need to get some of that if it helps you a lot!

Welcome! Glad to have you here. Good luck with school, I know you'll do great!

I would not be going to that clinic! If you have found what works for you, I think you should refuse to go. I would wait til your PCP gets back and talk to him about it first.

Definitely not petty! It is totally understandable. I'm sure most of us have been there. Maybe he is used to you being in pain and doesn't realize what a constant burden it is. All I can suggest is that you two don't get really angry with each other over it because that causes more strain on the...

I have never read a scientific study on this, but I have seen on many forums that there are a lot of people who experience this. Personally, on the issue of cost, I buy drinking water jugs by the gallon...they are like 80 cents for a gallon as opposed to paying for a whole case. I hope you get...

Welcome! Nice to meet you :)

I don't live there, but you can look at some names of doctors to choose from...then I suggest you google them to see if there are reviews for them :)

Congrats! I wouldn't worry too much about it - it only stresses you out more. If your husband is understanding and truly loves you, he will not let it get in the way of your relationship. One day at a time, and hopefully you will be feeling better really soon :)
