Do you have an illness/condition

That for MOST people isn't that painful or debilitating, but for you it's horrible.

It makes me so depressed that for some people it's no big deal, but for me it's just so bad and people just don't care because "hey" it really can't be that bad.

UHHHH it smurfing is that bad. It really is.

What is it?

Well, right now I have an ulcer, for most people it's just really bad heartburn, but for me, it makes me vomit nearly every night. So yes, I sort of understand.

Not sure.

Never met another person with tuberculosis

I don't have it nearly as bad as others with my condition. At least I can still eat food.

I had an ulcer too, and it made me throw up almost everytime I ate.

no. i have back problems and gallbladder issues but they're usually pretty painful for other people too when they have them, lol. but... everyone reacts/responds differently to pain, so maybe some people don't get it because they have a higher tolerance. or maybe they just don't get it because they have never really had an illness/condition to speak of.

Alot of "unseen conditions" people tend to pass off for pretend arent real. I just brush those people off and dont give a rats ass what they think.

Yes. Both physical and mental

Quoting Asher's mommy [Expecting :" What is it? "

I hate telling people.

But I have type one genital herpes.. so basically the oral kind but genitally.

I remember when I first got it, all the research I did said it wasn't the ideal place to get it, but because it was type 1 I probably would be okay.. and it wouldn't be that painful.

Yeah they were wrong. Right now I have an outbreak in my ass crack and I can barely walk.

My brother has SEVERE acid reflux. We all thought it couldn't be that bad because its just acid reflux and he is young. We thought he was making a bigger deal out of it then it was. Well it turns out that its really bad. So bad that the doctor was surprised that he didnt have an ulcer. It goes all the way his throat. Poor kid. We didnt believe him for years.

That's horrible.. is there anything they can do for you?

fibromyalgia. most people think it's just me bitching and tell me to "take a tylenol"

I'm so sorry!   I would imagine that would be extremely painful!

I just wish people could be more compassionate.
