    Thanks for sharing. I wish it was this easy to apply when it came to chronic illness for malnutrition and chronic pain. If you can eat you weak and body shuts down u basically can’t do anything it makes it hard to make goals etc. TPN (nutritikn through the vein) is short term but I did it for over 2 in half years but got 9 DVT (blood clots) because of it! Feeding tubes you say yes yes 19 of those and infection remember I am sick in my stomach bleeding ulcers. Do to stress. Of course show me how to not be stressed lol I try but very difficult because sometimes I stress within myself and don’t realize. Anyways live the video❤ keep them coming

    Thank you for your video. Very explicative on your story. My situation is exactly the same, without endometriosis and fibromialgia, but together with the bladder (it all started 7 years ago) I have blurred vision. Is there any blood teste that could indicate the MCAS syndrome? Also do you mind to share the last medication your reumatologist put you on? I'm asking because I followed anything relatable to IC and EmbeddedUTI but nothing worked.

  • @BG-lr7zg
    @BG-lr7zg 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Look into Mast Cell dysregulation (could be due to a suppressed immune system that is overreactive). This may play into the issue with the IC pain. Check out Mast Cell 360. Antihistamine and many other things like quercetin, luteolin, bromelain and many other things may help. Also, Anti-inflammatories, could be considered. Things like Boswellia Serata, SPM (pro resolving mediators), Black Cumin seed oil.

    Hi I am wondering if you had the endometriosis on your bladder? I had a full hysterectomy 12 years back and had the endometriosis on my bladder, that I had several operations to remove it including laser treatment to remove it, now.I am experiencing sharp pains in my mid lower abdomen, in the bladder area, and groin pain, as well.as.other symptoms. It's a nightmare with docs.who.just.want to address one area.one symptom, when I think.they are all connected. Most docs don't listen.

    My biggest trouble has been dealing with the guilt that comes with being upset/sad when plans change suddenly, and then I am informed it’s due to my partner’s chronic illness. I’ve been getting better, both with being more understanding but also allowing myself to feel emotions :))

    • @mfg2324
      @mfg2324 24 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Absolutely. Allowing to feel ones emotions is always important, and being able to express them to loved ones can help so much. But when I feel sad/disappointed/stressed/... due to consequences of their conditions, I can't really let myself express those feelings - or else they will feel guilt and shame and keep their struggles from me in the future to not hurt me. All of which I don't want, I love being there for them and don't want to make them feel even worse! And at the same time, things can be challenging, and expressing that seems helpful to me. Well, I guess it's a shared learning journey. Feel free to let me know some tips or what you've learned along the way :)
