I find that work distracts me. It's very difficult to live with this where all social activities revolve around food and drink . Although I try very hard to remain positive, it just isn't possible all the time. I miss my old life

I personally find it extremely difficult to cope and ever be happy, mostly due to my co-morbidities interacting with the GP. You have to find a way to manage symptoms, plain and simple. Excruciating pain combined with intractable retching, malnutrition, and migraines due to dehydration (when no meds help), make it impossible to be happy. During the less severe times, no pain for 5 minutes in a 30 day period makes me bawl like a baby because I feel so thankful for the rare treat. It's important to appreciate the small things in life, because you don't have the capacity to do that during a severe episode/flare up.

It's very hard at times but
Surround yourself with support system
Monitor and keep track of your symptoms to learn your triggers and make changes as necessary
Limit stress
Get appropriate sleep
