health/history

good grief,i have been feeling really lousy lately. i have chronic issues,but for over a month now,i've had a steady flare of digestive problems. it really overwhelms me because even before this flare-up,i had a lot of health issues and other things in life i needed to attend to,and now this just throws a big monkeywrench right in the works there.

i blame it on trump. seriously,his being president has made me sicker than i would be,with all the stress and worry about what he's gonna do.

to cheer myself up a little,i've been reading a book called 'get well soon:history's worst plagues and the heroes who fought them' by jennifer wright. i love medical history,and this was really a good book. just finished it.

Ever since the election I've been more depressed, more headachy, more fibro flare-y. And more IBS. Lots more IBS. The nurse at my internist's told me they've been seeing TONS of people with the same reaction.

i'm sorry to hear you have experienced all those things. i have heard from others that a lot of people are definitely feeling the effects,one way or the other,and i don't think i've heard of anyone who felt healthier! our physical health is made so much worse by stress,and with this the trump white house along with others in power and so much focus on what they can take away from those in need and/or with poor health,it's no wonder it is not helping our wellbeing!
