Unfortunately, having chronic illness and/or chronic pain... Or frankly any illness that can come back.. Means being nervous pretty much 24/7.
Sometimes you get a break, and then your stomach will hurt for a sec, and all of a sudden you are reminded that you are chronically ill and that stomach cramp could mean any number of things.
Today, for instance, I am waiting for a doctor's appointment to go over some results. I already know these results. Someone has already gone over these results with me. And yet I still have that burning nervous sensation in the pit of my stomach. There isn't much she could say that would surprise me, and yet I am nervous.
Just the way the game goes! Nerves are pretty constant for me.
