What diseases do you have, r9k?
I have Crohn's, Psoriasis, and Dyshydriotic Eczema.
What do you have?
How do you cope with it?
What do you take to treat it?
>What diseases do you have, r9k?
my life
>>35365736
Rosacea, androgenetic alopecia, and seb. Dermatitis on my scalp. I don't take anything for any of them right now. I'm off at school so I don't have access to my dermatologist. It doesn't matter anyhow, my life would still be shit

Are the itches really bad?
>>35365928
Same OP stuck with the same rosecea bullshit that amplifies acne
>Crohn's disease
I'm sorry, buddy, but I know how it feels to have a disease that will never ever be cured, and can only be "slowed down". Hopefully there will always be good days, or not-so-bad days.
How are you holding up, friendo ?
>What do you have?
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Asperger's, and Eczema. I guess that's not so bad, at least I can feel the pain.
>How do you cope with it?
I just do, I couldn't tell you how I work, because I don't even know... I've been depressed for pretty much ten years, my body's aching everyday and except my family, I don't see anyone else but doctors. You guys help me get my shit together, or at least be able to talk to someone and explain how I feel.
>What do you take to treat it?
Ixprim, Morphine sometimes and Cymbalta (also for my depression). Side effects aren't fun.
Hey, how many hospital dwellers do we have on /r9k/ ?
>eczema and psoriasis
I fucking shed my skin every day get me out of this itchy scaly hell

do you have a tube through your nose op? my friend had crohn's and he had a tube for a while

Crohn's hurts, a lot.
I'm having a flare-up right now so it's bad. Sucks really but not much I can do. I've had good times and bad times with it.
What side effects do you experience with your drugs.
Also, does EDS hurt a lot?
>>35366303
No tube in my nose. No colostomy bag either. I just deal with it myself. Eventually, I'll need surgery sadly.
I haven't heard of a tube being used besides for a diagnosis.

Yeah they can get pretty bad at times, but I've learned to cope. When I go home for spring break, I may ask my doctor for some shampoo or something

Everybody feels pain differently, but I can understand. What do you do when you have a flare-up ? You absolutely can't do anything or is there a little something that can be done, like, I don't know, eating ice-cream ? That's a stupid idea, I know, but you know what I mean.
Vertigo, nausea, insomnia or really bad sleep, constipation, can't masturbate most of the time, itchyness are the most common side effects. The problem is that EDS really is a general disease and my depression doesn't help to recognize side effects. Some are pretty "normal" like a lack of concentration, because that's how I usually feel without medication.
EDS hurts a lot, and every single second but a different levels. It's a vicious type of pain, always changing.
who else /epileptic/ here?
>>35366372
Try to get some cream, it can help out. I got a cream for my eczema and psoriasis, it didn't cure it but it keeps it down when it flares up.

I basically just kinda stay inside. I don't work currently (yet), but it makes life difficult. I try to go outside and I end up rushing back in once I start moving. My diet has changed to basically just rice, not much fiber and very little sugar, still no dice. I don't have Celiac's or lactose intolerance either.
I'm sorry for about EDS anon. I can't imagine that. The pain that always changes must be horrible not knowing where it'll go next.

Don't worry man. There will be better days, we can be hopeful. I'm kind of in the same situation concerning going outside, so I'm with you.
I'm sorry but I gotta go, it's late and if I want to wake up to take my meds before 6 PM tomorrow I better head to bed.
Much love, maybe we'll see each other again ? Post a contact if you want us to stay in touch, hopefully when I wake up it will still be in the archive.
