How others perceive UC
I have been affected by this illness since I was eighteen. I was in the hospital and couldn't walk because I lost so much blood. I take Entyvio now, and luckily it seems to work. I still have symptoms; I don't even count my trips to the toilet anymore.
But it seems like no one really understands that this is an illness. It's so weird to me.
It affects my life so much. I am scared to go outside when I am not on an empty stomach.
When I work, I suffer from my symptoms there too, which is why I am trying to heal now and take time off...
But talking with people around me, sometimes even the doctors seem like they don't see a problem. I am young and stuff, but fuck, the biggest problem is probably that you don't really tell everyone around you how often you shit daily.
But fr, I suffer from symptoms that make my life harder, and my doctor, who is specialized in this, won't do anything else. I even asked him if there is anything else I can do, and he told me yes, but he can't list all that right now. Bro, why do I even go there...? Yeah, actually I am trying to find a new gastroenterologist, but it's hard because I'm tired most of the time and all that stuff. Honestly, at first I just wanted to rant about how other people don't get how much this illness hurts you, that it is indeed a very bad illness, but now I just wrote about a small part of my life (´∩｡• ᵕ •｡∩`)
