what the hell is wrong with you

[CRASH]

I found my crohn's because I had a fistula. Basically my small intestine fused with my large intestine via an infection filled tunnel. Finally went to the ER with massive pain and 103*F fever. They gave me cipro, which did nothing and my fever hit 105*F. They got it down to 101*f and did emergency surgery, removed 12 inches of small intestine and 4 inches of large.

I had a fistula removed when I was 16 "the size of a baseball or softball", according to the surgeon. They sent it off for biopsies and came back and told me what I had. I freaked the fuck out because I was 16, and had never heard of it before so I thought I was going to die.

That was in '97. Then in '03 I had a hole in my small intestine and they had to go in and remove about the same amount of small and large intestines as you had removed.

Shit sucks sometimes, but fuck it. If this is the worst I have to deal with in life, I'll survive. If something worse comes along, well fuck it, I'll deal with that shit too ! LOL !

Oh yeah, I have fair skin, and constantly battle basal cell carcinoma. Every 6 months, they're cutting more out. I'm starting to run out of places they can cut, and by the time I'm 35 I'll be a large walking scar.


Did I mention my addiction to women? lol

@ Vertnut, thanks for the props. Knowing that someday all of this will make sense to them makes me feel much better having to walk that walk right now.

Hell I'll chime in...


Due to poor decisions in my early 20's, I have landed myself as single mother of 3 wonderful boys. Both dads are 100% absent so I handle all the responsibilities of parenting on my own... food, clothes, schooling, medical, shelter, extra curricular. EVERYTHING is all on me. That is very stressful daily but only because a mother naturally worries over the protection/safety/well being of her children.

I have small bouts of low self esteem on occassion, and insecurity. I'm easily exciteable/upset due to anxiety I've suffered from since childhood, so I take a daily Rx to keep me from getting upset over stupid fucking shit. When I can't afford to refill right away I feel the effects in a couple of days and it fucking BLOWS. I want to cry at the drop of a hat for no fucking reason and I HATE crying. So having to medicate daily just for a sense of normalcy fucking SUCKS TOO.

Money is always tight. If I budgeted better I'm sure I could really get those dollars to stretch farther, so there's another one of my weaknesses. Filling my childrens wants/needs before filling my list of necessities always gets me a scolding from my mom.

The monthly monster if a fucking NIGHTMARE that no one should live with. I am way overdue for surgery to rid myself of all that bullshit but alas... doctors like to be paid for procedures they perform so I'll likely not have that anytime this decade. NOTHING should be able to bleed and hurt like that and survive. It's just not natural!


Since I quit smoking back in February I cough ALL the fucking time. Doctor says my lungs are "on the mend", but it fucking SUCKS. Who wants to wake up coughing everyday? Sometimes I think I should've just kept smoking, but my children asked me to quit. I can't think of a better reason to stop.


I guess what I'm getting at is that we all have things beyond our control, and somethings well within our control that grind on us daily. It's how you respond to the stress that determines the rest. I could choose to get hung up on every little thing that isn't "perfect" about my life but I'd have no free time left to enjoy my family and friends if I did that. I'd rather just roll with the punches, let shit roll off my back, than to stay focused on the negative.

Juggz, my mom raised three of us on her own (I was the oldest at 7). It was an unbelievable struggle for her, and one I didn't appreciate until I myself, became a parent years later. We lived in section 8 housing for a few years, then moved in with my grandma for a couple more. I know it killed her for us to live like that, but we LIVED. I still have a "too soft-spot" for women, and for single moms in particular, but if that's the worst I got out of it, that's great. Some of us DO understand and appreciate what you go through, and your boys will, too.

Selfish, impatient, asshole. Dyslexic and ADD. Oh, and impingment syndrome in my shoulder kept me from working out for years. It's time for another shot, however, I have started strengthening the shoulder and will be working out like a regular person before you know it. And I have a severe addiction to women.

Most people complaining about acid reflux can reduce or eliminate their symptoms by changing their diet.

Male pattern baldness, thankfully I have a natural looking hairpiece. Other than that nothing that I'm aware of. I was going to a dermatologist for plantar warts and holy hell that sucked but they are all gone.

You may or may not know I have crohn's disease and every once in a while it bothers me mentally and I cope with thinking that most people will have their own challenge at some point in their life rather its a disfigurement, disease or condition. so I was curious what some of ya'll live with daily.
