The Story of... Sarah, age 22

Hi, I have been sick now for 14 years and no one ever seems to believe how bad it gets....When you are going to the toilet 25 times a day and still get the pain so bad you pass out it starts to really take a toll on your life....I have read so many people say that they have no social life, I know how that feels 'cause every time you go out you're scared that you're going to need to go to the loo heaps.... What will all your mates say...And how would you explain it...Oh I need to go to the loo? They will think you're putting it on 'cause they don't go through the pain... Oh it can't be that bad they say....I'd like to see them go through 1 week of the pain I bet the story would be different then...When I am sick though I found hot water bottles help not make it go but a little relief
