[chronicallyillsoup]

My stomach when I eat even just a little: *slams big red wrong buzzer* you must now suffer

My stomach when I don't eat: *slams big red wrong buzzer* also wrong answer

I'm going to fucking cry.

Mom brought home a big batch of wings, and some were unsauced, so I had a chance of eating them. I asked her if they were baked or fried because I CAN'T eat fried food. It's a super bad trigger food for my GERD which exacerbates my POTS symptoms horribly.

The last time I had any kind of fried food I was bedridden for three days straight.

She reassured me that they were baked.

I am now finding out, after eating three, that they WERE fried. Just "lightly" to where it "shouldn't matter."

My heart is racing so fast, and the brain fog is starting to kick in. If this sends me into a flare, I'm going to be pushed back months in recovery. I'm so unbelievably upset.

I think one of the reasons I often discount my own physical and mental health issues, and fear I’m overreacting to pain and discomfort, is just because in the context of my family… my health problems are minor.

Besides having worse vision and more food allergies… I’m better off. I don’t have back problems yet, my joints are less fucked, my acid reflux only acts up when I’m stressed and asthma when I’m really sick, my trauma outwardly presents itself mostly as childhood memory loss instead of larger issues, my sleep apnea is manageable, and my immune system is relatively good.

But I think that gives me the false impression that I’m not really disabled, because I don’t suffer that much compared to my family members.

That’s wrong.

My family is a bad sample group for what is “typical” health wise.

And as I kid… I was just told I was a boy and like all boys… overacting when sick or injured. That my pain tolerance was bad. No… I think I have problems.

Every person with acid reflux should be paid $500

[dog-soul]

Why do people who don't have hiatal hernias and GERD talk about it like it's not a big deal as if I wasn't in living hell before landing in the acute medical unit for 3 days on 24/hr nurse watch because I was so ill,,, and every other person I have spoken to has had beat for beat the same experience
