So, did I mention that my stomach pain returned? Yes it has broke through. Very sad and scary. I thought we had found a magic bullet, Rx combo, and I still think it's way better than before, but yesterday -- dammit! So, the past 2 weeks I have been feeling wonky in my tum, even tossed my "cookies" a few times, but the pain was pretty much not around. So a piece of the puzzle was tamed...or so I thought. On Tuesday, I had complained of some pain, like fingernails scratching at the inside of my stomach, but it was not a major debilitator, just a cautionary thing that made me eat very cautiously and not very much of it. Then, yesterday. Damn. It was pain! I took stadol, phazyme, tums, phenergan, and fasted. This AM I had some cream of wheat, so we'll see if it's history or not, but yesterday, it was scary stuff to have it return. On the plus side, it was not so bad that I ended up in the ER! Yay! But it was enough to put the family on "defcom alert" that it might happen. Oh, yes, there was a very weird symptom(?) to add to the new incarnation of this stomach thang -- it is deep deep hunger pangs. Go figure. I know that my emotions and stresstuff is contributing to it, because it was a very emotional time with Marilyn yesterday, and I believe that the session, and all the unwanted truths I had to face, put my dicey tum over the edge during, and later on apex'd, the day /night. So, let's hope that THAT was the worse I'll ever feel again re: the mysterious stomach thang now living under the IBS umbrella. I can live with that, especially if I know it won't get to ER phase w/my self-medication. Toes and fingers are crossed big time!!!!! All good vibes and energy and prayers are welcomed! Peace. ##
