Feeling Much Better...finally!

Hi,

I just wanted to write a quick word about how well I've been doing recently in the aim of encouraging anyone who is new to this, or is having a hard time in general.

I have been gluten free since march, and have been in pretty bad shape with the usual run of symptoms for about two years.

Anyway, since march my energy levels have gradually been getting better.

Last week I had a really really long week with work and starting back at university, as well as having loads of wedding planning to do and having the flu. Halfway through the week, I was walking into university in the rain with a giant backpack full of book and feeling pretty sorry for myself when it dawned on me that only 6 months ago I barely had the energy to get off the couch and was sure that I was dying!!!

I am so grateful for my diagnosis - there were times that I found it really difficult finding anything I could eat and sometimes I thought I would never get better, but finally I am feeling like my old self again :D

Thanks for posting. I can be amazing how far back we can come from being as sick as we were. Physically I feel younger at 50 than I did at 20. :D Well worth the initial adjustment. Glad you are doing better. It sounds like things are very busy right now.

      In the thread I linked to above, one of our sponsors here sells gluten-free nuts, dried fruits, etc (a coupon that might work for you there is GF20) https://www.tierrafarm.com/

      I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this, and what you’re describing is very real—even if other people can’t see it. Many kids and teens with celiac disease or other autoimmune conditions can have chronic joint and body pain, fatigue, and flares that come and go, which is exactly why it can look “fine one day and awful the next.” That doesn’t mean you’re faking anything. You deserve to be believed and supported, especially at school and at home. It may help to talk with a gastroenterologist or rheumatologist who understands autoimmune pain in teens, and to let a trusted adult help advocate for accommodations when you need them. Wanting to feel like a normal kid makes complete sense—and you’re not alone in feeling this way.

      Don't  let one bad apple spoil the bunch,. as they say. Many health care professionals are doing their jobs the best they can, so it's important to try to work with them in a respectful manner, if when they might be wrong about something.
