Feeling the pain...

This past week, well I would say since last Saturday, my stomach started swelling, I looked like I was pregnant again! Anyway I chalked it off to me just getting ready to start my period. I should really take notes about symptoms and such, hey that is what I am doing now! (d'oh) anyway I had a few bouts of diarrhea last weekend, nothing bad, hardly any cramping. So I just let it go.....I should have paid more attention because I think I was in a flare up the whole time. Last night I almost went to the hospital it got so bad. My husband stayed awake waiting for me to exit the bathroom, hoping that I would feel better but I think i stayed in there for close to 3 hours. Vomiting and Diarrhea at the same time, lovely huh? I lost 2 pounds just from last night. I hurt so bad I wanted to cry and thought I was dying there for a minute since I was in and out of it on the toilet (I just kept saying to myself, please don't let me pass out like this, on the toilet, how embarrassing would that be?) I locked the door , which I shouldn't have in case something would have happened. My husband kept calling from the bedroom "Are you okayyyyy??" All you would hear from me was "Agghhhh, no" I could barely talk. I did take notice that during the weekend, when my stomach started hurting, I ate a steak, medium. This was before the Monster Truck show, my husband had to stop at the drug store so I could pick up some Immodium. And last night I ate another steak, my husband cooked it this time and it was also Medium/Rare. I started feeling sick about 30 minutes after I ate, for some reason my stomach was rejecting the steak and tuna w/ assparagus. It just all had to come out. So maybe it has something to do with steak? Who knows.....Who knew my intestines could be so picky about food? Well this morning my back is sore and my stomach is sore and I am totally not hungry. I may try and eat an Avocado later.....More lovely updates later since I know yall are just all dying to know about my bowel habits right??

Doing bad

Today was a bad day today. I spent most part of the day on the toilet *sigh* This is so depressing sometimes. I was doing so good that I even forgot that I had this disease ;o( Maybe I spoke to soon in my previous entries, the one's where I was saying that I was doing good. I felt like I was going through labor all over again, yes that is how bad the cramping is and you just have to deal with it. The cramps come and go in waves, if you have ever been in labor you know what I am talking about. I have also been vomiting..... My back and stomach become so sore after I am "done"


My most wonderful husband took all four of the kids to the store to pick them something up to eat and he is getting me some Gatorade and Italian Ice, I love that stuff when I can't eat anything else. I guess it is about that time I look for another Gastro doc, I was really hoping I could get through this without any other doctors, but I really need to see one, one that won't be a jackass to me and pretty much tell me to deal with it, and one that won't tell me not to have any other children. He was very insensitive which makes me scared of seeing another Gastro Doc, what if they are all like that?? Anyway it could be worse....

My store

I make soap, I mentioned it somewhere on this blog when I first started. Anyway, gonna mention it again since I just opened an online store: Bayou Bath Shop I still have pictures to add but it is ready to go otherwise. Yeah I make soap to take my mind off of what else?? UC, Panic Attacks and whatever else is wrong with me, most of the time it works ;o)
