And by that, I mean if things turned for the worse, this journal would say something very different.
I’ve been in the hospital for a week for severe and I mean SEVERE abdominal pain. Before I was in the hospital, I dealt with it for over 6 weeks. When I went in, I was on the brink of a system shutdown. Turns out that I have severe ulcerative colitis. Kinda baffles me because my diet is pretty good, but learning my family has a history of it and that stress is a major cause, well there’s the culprit right there. Everything about my life is stressful. In fact, two days earlier before I had testing for anxiety and depression disorders, as well as a test that might put me on the autism spectrum. So I might have that too. Also, here’s an easy one, (31 + 1).
Sorry for the dump, but better this than “hey brohs Rim’s dead lol here’s access to his online backups have at it!”
Maybe next time.
Coming from a medical perspective, I'll say that the cause of ulcerative colitis is mostly genetic, but with environmental triggers. I wouldn't blame yourself for your diet, and there's nothing you can do about your genes.
I have friends who live with ulcerative colitis for decades. I have friends on the spectrum. We all make it work somehow--it doesn't mean it's easy. There are very effective treatment for UC, but you'll need to deal with side effects.
In fact, one of my pediatric colleagues became a pediatric gastroenterologist because of her personal struggle with ulceratis colitis. Maybe you'll end up in medical school.
Hang in there. We are here if you need to vent.
Also happy Belated Birthday!
Fuck.
Hope you're okay, mate.
Better bring a laptop to the hospital so you can polish SMJ from a ward.
And yes I did do work on my phone for things. I never stop.
Ugh. Steroids rant.
Don't try to look for reason or justice--there isn't any. Good people die every day, while assholes get to be presidents.
Hang in there.
