One after the Other

I have multiple health issues and have been dealing with a fair bit over the last few years and new diagnoses.

I had an appointment today related to an upcoming surgery and now another system - my heart - this time might have a problem.

I'm tired of this. I'm young (well maybe not compared to others on this site). How many unrelated things can be wrong with me?

I dont know how youare, or what is wrong with you. All I know is i am 43, and because of being diagnosdwith a chronic illness, I now use a walker. It sucks and is not fair. And i also feel too young to feel so old.

Doesn't help you I guess but you aren't alone.

Thanks, it does help to hear I'm not alone. People around me are supportive, but I still often feel alone with all of this.

I am glad people are supportive. My family and close friends are too but I feel alone quite often as well. I dont want to be always focussed on my illness and I dont want life to be about it so try not to talk about it all the time. So I often feel isolated with it. And they see me falling over and being unbalanced but most of it is invisible to others so they dont see how hard it is most of the time. I wish I had the answer to the aloneness but I am still looking for it too.
