I Am Worried About My Health

Parents listen to your kids sometimes. A headache may not always just be a headache. Or their ears ringing my not just be allergies. I wish my parents would have listened to me when I was hurting all the time. But I was accused of faking and begging for attention. Now I have a chronic illness that attacks my body 24/7. And the only time they care is when they can get attention from my condition.

Get those check ups, make sure your kids are healthy please!

@Nine9 omg! That’s horrible . I didn’t know it lead to so many other disorders . I’m so sorry . Would early diagnosis have made any difference ?

@TexChik Thank you, early diagnosis could have made a difference. I would have been more prepared and possibly been more educated of what could happen to my body but the longer I was undiagnosed the worse I got. I'm secure in what's happening to me now because I've been handling it for years but I can't stress enough always look out for kids and the next generation.

@Nine9 surgical intervention is not an option ??

@TexChik Unfortunately no. I have a higher percent chance of being worse with surgery than without.
