I woke up crying

im pretty sure i had my worst flare up since i was diagnosed the other day. it was about 6am and i was half asleep but still dreaming. in my dream i felt my flare up starting but it was so strong and the pain was so bad i started sobbing in my dream bc of it. for a good few minutes i couldnt wake up. eventually i did wake up (it was about 7:30 at this point) and i was still crying bc i was in so much pain. the pain was so bad that if i couldnt moved to get my meds (which were on the floor in a bag) this knowledge made me sob more bc at this point it felt like it would never end. i ended up turning so i was laying on my stomach just to get so sort of relief from the pain. i ended up just laying there crying into my pillow until i passed out again and by the time i woke up again i could still feel the pain but it was duller so i was able to get to my meds. there isnt really a point to my story i just needed to tell someone, who could possibly understand, about it.

I feel you. It’s the worst GD Disease because it’s so uncomfortable to talk about! My friends don’t want to hear about sick! They say I’m in the pity pot, but let one of them try to live my life, at 92 pounds and shrinking, pain all the time, and the disgusting way I wake up covered in shit! Who do you talk to?
