Charlotte, think back to the beginning, do you feel as bad as that?? I bet not, so you are getting better. . . it just takes time. . . .nearly 2 years for me and I have days like you, really I only have the eye crap left and that does knock me off at times.
Chin up, we are on your side.

What a friend you are. Yes, I am so much better than the start. I know it isn't always easy...but much better. got some belly issues too...could be nerves.

Hi Charlotte, Strange that my stomach issues started 12 months into all of this, still suffering with it and they have said now it is IBS, I can keep it under control most of the time with peppermint capsules and watching what I eat, but that on top of everything else is enough to make anyone feel "off" , other than that I'm not too bad, just decided one day to get on with it and accept what I was going through and since then the anxiety levels have dropped and I'm more relaxed about everything, I've given up using it as an excuse not to do things and I do everything I used to do before all this started and possibly more. Just teaching our eldest Daughter to drive and to think it was only 18 months ago I was scared of driving myself around!
You keep thinking on the bright side Charlotte it will make you feel better.

Drives me nuts too, like I say as if we don't have enough to cope with eh!!
Try taking Peppermint capsules half hour before food, they certainly help me.

Hi Charlotte,
I hada wretched time when I hit yr 1 (Jne 27th), think I posted a/b it - my eyes were making me sick - felt nauseated just moving - awful stuff....seemed to last a few weeks then taper off...flared again for my period
HOWEVER - after that blip things have continued to IMPROVE - esp the eyes - I thought I'd never be able to say that - I've had some near 100% days with my VISION - thanks to Balances exercises I know I'll hit blips again - no doubt I've still got lots of symptoms - they just seem ....calmer.
I believe, like Jayne -that we will slowly get there...through time - it just sucks royally. Hang in there hun.

Hi Charlotte. You are doing amazing so keep it up. This recovery thing is definitely a marathon, not a sprint, and you're getting closer and closer to the finish line. Some miles are rougher than others.
One thought on the stomach issues is acidophulus- this really improved my co-workers IBS. I'm sure there are a lot of other natural options out there too. Do you have any food sensitivities to dairy or wheat?

Hi Charlotte, the pain is awful and if it's anything like mine it's in a different place every day!!!!
The peppermints caps help me, just seem to calm it somehow, I also now take a probiotic pill (the friendly bacteria) anything that will help I'll have a go at. The peppermint also acts as a built in air freshener. . . . so they tell me. . . .lol.
