Hello.

In my first post I stated that I joined this site because I have health problems.
And I want to write about my experience hoping to have a positive effect on
people in the future. 

Maybe things I learn along the way will inspire other people with health problems.
Or even better inspire people to prevent getting chronic health problems like I have.
Tough even if they seem chronic I am still desperately looking for a way to get rid of them like most people would.
And I know the more severe the problem the more that finding a cure is all people can think about.

At the moment my health is stabilizing. But it's still bad. My stomach and intestines are over sensitive. 
Very often I feel nausea. I have been to several doctors and they have been unable to find much, except for inflammation in my stomache during a endoscopy. I now go to physical therapy twice a week trying to fitness, wich is going better. The problem right now is that my health problems are still so frequent and unpredictable that I am unable to get a job.
It would be a disaster to have to call in sick every one or two weeks, and having to end up on welfare because being unable to work is one of my biggest nightmares. And as a young adult you can imagine this creates some huge desperation.

I feel like I have to be creative to still get to be completely financially independent.
So I went to my old internship and registered myself as a freelancer. From time to time I make a motion graphic videos for them in wich they hire me and I can earn some pocket money.  Tough the market is not really asking for these types of videos alot right now. Or maybe I am looking in the wrong place.

By now my health troubles have been lasting for almost 5 years. And slowly really slowly gotten better. 
I have set some long term goals for myself because I want to get stronger. At this moment on advise of my doctor I have been going trough physical therapy, wich has been a massive help for my body in some ways.
I do sports twice a week. I had to do it because up until 3 or 4 months ago I had hardly any muscle left at all.
I hope that by the end of this year. I can manage to do exercise 3 times a week. And I want to keep that up for the rest of my life. I am also slowly changing my food pattern. Trying to find out what my stomach can and can't handle.
If things pay off I hope I'll be strong enough to start applying for a job again.
This is a tedious process that requires alot of patience and may hopefully get rid of my problems permanently.

On the short term I usually try to do some basic tai chi or meditation exercises to keep my head calm and stay relaxed.
I am trying to reduce and avoid stress as much as possible. Because stress is a huge catalysator that makes all my
health problems 10 times worse. And its also a really good breathing exercise that has helped me reduce my hyperventilation,
wich is also caused by stomache problems sometimes.

Another thing I do is because of my problems Is use medicine I got from the doctor. I got Pantoprazole wich is against excessive stomache acid. And I got metoclopramide. Metoclopramide I rarely use except when my problems get really bad. Because I know and have read about the long term side effects wich scare me alot. 
I try to use the pantoprazole as little as possible too. To compensate for it I take liquid aloe vera. Because of that I don't need the Pantoprazole as much as I used too. Not sure if that would work for everybody but maybe something worth researching for people that have simular problems as I have.

There are a few other ways I am coping with my current stomach problems.
I'll write about these ways in some seperate posts. These are just things that worked for me.
But can't garantee they work for somebody else. I hope they do tough.

I want to thank everybody for the patience to read my post.
And remind to keep your stress level at zero as much as possible.
