Just a diagnosis to see what our options are would be uplifting. It's hard to watch someone you love suffer so.

Frankly I dont really care what has actually stopped me but something has and I'm very relieved. Maybe I do have a fighting chance of making this stick after all.....
For me, God did what I could not do for myself. I finally just gave it to Him.
I'm trying to do that now with our struggle with illness.

I get it about IBS. I'm dealing with diverticulitis and colitis and an UTI. Uh. Don't tell me stress doesn't make it flare. Getting tired of banannas, rice, applesauce and potatoes this past month. Thankful to be done with the antibiotics!

I would have been, too, my dear. But in this life we have to take the good with the bad, don't we?Sorry to hear about your health issues. Antibiotics can work wonders, though.

I am sure sobriety makes life's challenges a bit more manageable and for that I am also grateful. Hang in there and please don't stop sharing. You have a lot of people here who care about you and your family.
