Traveling Abroad with HS
I’m on a long holiday, supposed to be having the time of my life- just arrived in New Zealand today and am having such a bad groin flare up that I don’t have the capacity to leave my Airbnb. I’m laying in bed in tears at 2am wallowing in self pity but also in such pain. How do you handle trying to take advantage of being abroad, lots of adventuring and activity, and managing the pain of a terrible flare up? It’s so distracting it feels like I can’t even be present in what should be the most wonderful experiences of my life thus far.
Mostly just venting here bc I’ve dealt with this for 15+ years and know the remedies to help treat a flare up- but I’m just so bummed and bogged down by it. It’s so unfair. Ugh.
Going to try to be positive in the morning- I sure hope it starts to go down by then.
Oh no,
, I am so sorry to hear that you're experiencing such a miserable flare on your vacation! How frustrating and discouraging!! It is very understandable that you're feeling so bummed and bogged down. We go on vacations to enjoy ourselves and be (mostly) worry-free! I really wish that your HS had gotten the memo of staying away while you're on your holiday. Please know, you are welcome to vent here anytime, and this community is here for you. I'm crossing my fingers that things calm down and the morning is better enough that you can get out of the airbnb and enjoy yourself! Sending you gentle hugs. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
