AngGoc79's Journal, 01 July 2016



Feeling a little sad today. I just had my follow up appointment with G.I. doctor this past Monday. I do have to take pentasa forever. My symptoms had been mild the past week I thought the pentasa/low residue diet was starting to help. Then Tuesday night it got bad again . I'm in pain and tired. Ugh and I get no compassion from my husband. Sometimes I just feel alone and no one understands. I don't want to be pitiful just having a rough week. :/ I'm really trying but sometimes I feel like I'm gonna break down. At least taking prednisone in the morning has significantly helped me sleep better through the night. Although I'm currently on a schedule of asleep by 9:30 or 10:30 and up anywhere from 4a.m. to 5:30 a.m. The other night was 3 a.m.! Anyways have a beautiful weekend everyone ..Happy 4th of July!

sorry about your discomfort and pain....does your diet leave you any leaway for wine or pot? It is medicinal for chronic pain now......when hot baths won't cut it....

I am 16 months sober and nope don't do pot anymore lol What's really funny is nicotine is said to help relieve u.c. so the patch is suggested by some. I am an ex smoker too going on almost 11 years so that just isn't an option to me. I think I am going to give these meds until my next follow up appointment in August. If it isn't helping then I just may need to change it. Also I think hotdogs are to blame or at this time my body is going to freak out anyway. Kinda at a loss at the moment. No more hotdogs for now though! Lol

Having had to learn to adapt to a lifetime of chronic pain and recognize what you are going through. I believe it is very "NORMAL" to feel sad, alone, misunderstood and frustrated. I feel this way on and off depending on how I am coping with it. Rough stuff, but please know there are many of us out here. We can take care of ourselves when our emotions and thinking start to drag us even further into rough ground. I found meditation, imagery and breath work to be useful tools. I am sorry your husband is not in a place to support you right now. Maybe really tough for him to get his head wrapped around what it all means to your relationship. I imagine he went through alot in your journey to sobriety and maybe he is overwhelmed himself.

Yes he is going through a lot right now too. So it's hard for him to be there for me and vice versa. I really take a lot out on him too on bad days. He's one to mess with me and joke around. Kinda feel like I have a third child most of the time. Just stressing me out more than cheering me up and he does not listen when I ask him to stop certain things. Like pounding on the wall out of no where for no reason but to be annoying ! I love him just really wanna be left alone half of the time lately. I just have no patience right now.
