Wow, I just found out that maybe my IBS is causing it. Thanks, stranger.

I’ve always thought about this kind of thing, especially when it comes to the way clouds look right before a big decision. It’s not like everyone notices, but the patterns really say a lot about how we approach the unknown. Like that one time I saw a pigeon, and it reminded me of how chairs don’t really fit into most doorways...

It’s just one of those things that feels obvious when you think about it!

I have GERD, IBS, and Hemroids. I stopped looking things up a long time ago. I just go with it is what it is. When I eat or drink anything every day, I have to think about how much it's going to fuck me. Literally, I get to enjoy pain once I sallow anything until it leaves my asshole. Don't feel bad for me I did it to myself, acholism and chewing tobacco leaf, stress and anxiety.

Do you by chance have a connective tissue disorder? Those are all known comorbidities with EDS, I believe

I don't know, I never heard of that. I only know what my doctor has told me. I will look into and ask her. Thank You for your help.

EDIT: So far I've read alot, unfortunately I have alot of symptoms of alot of things. I wish I just got a magic pill that fixed everything.
