Mouth burning and digestive issues

[j2]

Like most folks, 2020 has not been kind to me. On top of the pandemic, my son had major brain surgery and my mother passed away. I worry everyday about my son and my health anxiety is through the roof. I am almost 50 and been dealing with this for decades but I never seem to get any better dealing with it. Lately I have been having burning sensations in my mouth. My lips and mouth seem like they are burning even if I eat nothing hot. My stomach is a mess with bloating, nausea and diarrhea. I am also dealing with what my doctor calls "slow" kidneys. My list of fears is long and growing. The blood test I recently had, had no other problems besides the "slow" kidney function.

Basically I am mess and just wanted to "talk" with others who can empathize and not judge.

bless you all,
J2

Hi J2

So sorry you’re going through this HA as well

I can’t relate to burning mouth and stomach issues I am pretty confident it’s anxiety messing up our stomachs and drawing our attention to the sensation in our mouth

I’m so sorry for your loss I lost my mam 12 years ago and that’s when all this started for me

I hope your son is making daily progress and continues to

Be kind to yourself you’ve had a year worse than most even with this pandemic hopefully things will start to look a bit brighter for you soon

Much love xx

Thanks for listening and not telling me to "buck up" or just "work" through it.
