Hello folks, 33F here, who stays alone. I was fortunate to have really good health and a body that supported me to build a decent life for myself.
Since the past three months, I have run into multiple health problems at the same time - 1) disc bulge and radiculopathy 2) esophagitis and gastritis 3) respiratory infection with fever, cough, cold 4) skin infection due to low immunity. Every day feels like I am basically fighting for life with several illnesses at the same time.
I am fortunate to have financial resources and good medical help through multiple doctors. However, life has changed completely. I have stopped working, cooking food at home, working out at the gym, being social and am mostly confined to home with the support of my boyfriend and a close friend. It's affecting my mental health now after three months because some days it feels like the physical pain just isn't ending.
I am looking for support from people who have been through a bad health phase and have bounced back from it. How did you do it? What made you have hope every day.
