Ache
Ache by @Trezce (Lev)

A concept I've been thinking about for a while as a result of my multiple intestinal diseases I get every now and then. 

Pretty much this is how I feel whenever I get stomach ache, which shouldn't be a big issue, but in my case I get frustrated when I get stomach aches constantly, at least 8 times a year, each of that time I need weekly medication, though the process of recovery feels way slower, it got to a point I have an arsenal of medicine just for that, because sooner or later, I'm sick again, no matter how much I take care of my diet, how much water I drink, how much I work out or the fact that I don't do drugs, alcohol or smoke cigarettes, my health is not exactly the best. 

Watercolors are usually my favorite tool to express that.

This really illustrates your description exactly and her face just has the "give up" and exhausted expression so well. I can't even imagine how exhausting that must be. I agree, upsetting even when you don't consume alcohol or tobacco products like you said.

Well, I wish you the best in your future.

@Nigane: thanks a lot! 

It's so frustrating because these issues at times happen so randomly. Even a simple cup of tea can trigger these problems. Last time I ate a piece of pork and it took me three weeks to be fully recovered from all the nausea I got 🤢

Thank you! Thankfully, these late days I've been feeling well, I was able to drink coffee again ☕

You've mentioned rough health, but I didn't realize it was this bad. I have several friends and family with chronic conditions, some gastrointestinal, so I sympathize with your pain (literally and figuratively) even if I don't "know" it myself. The link between gut health and autoimmune disorders is one we're only starting to understand in detail—the "gut brain" used to be theorized as basically a separate entity; now we're learning it does relay with GHQ. In the mean time, sometimes it feels like treatment amounts to throwing a bunch of drugs at the problem and seeing what actually sticks.

@Thorvald: Thanks so much for your kind words! ^^

Thankfully, the good thing about being constantly sick is that I'm always ready whenever something happens or when a family memeber goes through the same.  Whenever somebiody has a stomach ache, my family turns to me, because I surely have something (and that's always true! haha)

I'm glad people here are so understanding ^^

I really love to come here because of that too ^^
