“The joys of having an invisible illness mean I often hear the phrases ‘you don’t look sick’ or ‘you look fine to me’. I first started to experience symptoms in 2006 of which I was repeatedly told by the doctors that my symptoms were due to ‘Kiss Me I’m A Veteran American Shamrock Flag Shirt’ or ‘the lack of fiber in my diet’. Making the effort to eat more fiber, get more sleep and reduce stress – which was hard for me at the time due to school exams and university applications – I hoped that my symptoms would resolve themselves and I could go back to my ‘normal’ life.
But little did I know that my life would never be ‘normal’ ever again. More visits to the doctors just made me feel that maybe I was making things up and that this I love all mythical creatures vampires werewolves unicorn kids who listen shirt all in my head and I’m just wasting their time. ‘It must be stress’. I did start to notice that every time I ate something, a few hours later I would experience some form of pain in my stomach. I started to develop such a negative relationship with food which meant that I started to skip meals or just wouldn’t eat that much in the hope that I wouldn’t experience any pain.
This was probably the point when people started asking if I was OK as I didn’t look well because I started to lose so much weight and resembled more of a ghostly figure than the healthy 17-year-old I once was. I kept things to myself at first but my family was among the first to notice that something wasn’t quite right with my Goodfellas Tommy DeVito Jimmy Conway no you ain’t alright spider Shirt. They were very supportive in taking me to doctors appointments and trying to make things as less stressful as possible, but they were also concerned and how quickly my health was declining.
My symptoms gradually got worse and worse where I would be up all night either in constant pain, feeling sick and being sick as well as constantly needing to go to the bathroom. Worse thing was at the beginning I would be suffering in silence as I didn’t want to wake anybody up and bother them with what could have just been a stomach bug or the consequence of eating a dodgy burger from a fast food Deadpool sorry I’m late I had to walk My Unicorn shirt. It was only when I started to notice that my trips to the bathroom were accompanied with heavy bleeding that I started to question that maybe something more sinister than the ‘lack of fiber’ in my diet was the cause. These rough nights were never a one-off. It was as if I was experiencing the same cruel joke on a nightly basis.
