Moving right along!!
Hope: I have had many more hours or days of pretty good/good in the past month. Still having bad ones but when I do the tally- it's looking better.
Vent: Feeling the burden of not being myself for a year now. It is hard to believe this started last November. I do better when I just focus on each day as opposed to looking at the whole thing as an incredibly tough year.
7,5 weeks in....
Hope: I had 3-4 good days this week with minor pains and aches. Pllus, my bowels have improved now that I'm on two superdophilus caps (moved from 1.5 caps/meal). No anxiety and no depression this week.
Vent/Anxious: Frequency started up this morning, I'm freezing cold and burning down my legs.. contemplating if I should try and ride this out or emai DR. B... Frequency right now is about every 20 minutes... This gets my anxiety up quickly! Wondering if insufficient sleep could be part of it?? Also skipped dinner last night... wondering if that could have thrown me off? Ugh... I hope this passes soon...
lack of sleep makes me worse
lack of sleep makes me worse for sure. This WILL pass
Hope: My 27 pound pug sat in
Hope: My 27 pound pug sat in my lap for a 20 minute car ride without setting my bladder off.
Vent: I got my organic soap confiscated at LAX airport on my way back from seeing Dr. B, and had to be escorted by security! LOL, I can always get more.
Soap??? What the heck did
Soap??? What the heck did they think it was? I hate airport security!
Melbell - definitely best
Melbell - definitely best vent thus far!! What CAN they have thought it was?!
Deir, SO delighted your tally's improving. Am just plain thrilled about that xxx
HOPE: Had a dodgy week when I started doing killer commute couple of weeks back (am also blaming tomatoes, which I tried) but since then, things have been lovely and quiet, even over period. I measure my pain/irritation on a scale of 0-5 (0 being perfect) and have had a string of 0.5 days for getting on for a fortnight I think. Just the smallest niggles - maybe faintest urge, or slight itching; as I type this I can feel ever so slight burn around entrance to vagina. But all totally ignorable - could live like this now (though naturally would rather not!). And had a gorgeous long sleep from 10.30-7am last night - didn't wake at all, and crucially when my son woke me at 7 I didn't think "If I don't pee this INSTANT I will explode"! Everything feels fundamentally calmer. Blissful :)
VENT: vexatious waitress at the restaurant I went to for my sister's hen night (bachelorette night, would you say, in the US?) wouldn't let me eat my own food, insisted they could cater for me off the menu, then brought me chicken cooked in marinade! Gah. She finally let me eat my own stuff, at least, though had to pay for the meal I didn't eat!! Sheesh. Also have a big spot on the back of my neck!
sounds really good Sarah!
sounds really good Sarah! wonderful!
I know!
Christine and Sarah, I have no idea what they thought it was. They also saw my pills, so I jokingly told them the soap and pills was part of a new diet by Oprah ... one person thought it was funny, the other one - not so much.
hahahaha If anyone should
hahahaha
If anyone should be able to get you through security it should be our resident royalty- Oprah
BTW- So glad you've started treatment!
New found hope!
Hope - I guess.. For those of you have been following my path since Sept, I've posted that I had strugged with IBS (very loose bowels) which is dreadful to say the least as the pain post BM lasts for me all day. But, I think that I have turned a corner (at least for now). I am now constipated! The last time I was constipted was in July! I dont know if I should be happy, but now I need to find a happy medium...
Vent - too early in the morning to vent, yes, there are some daily morning pains but I'm hopeful and keeping a positive mind that today will be good.
** Vent for tomorrow: I will have to face 40+ people while I give my 1st speech/tour at work for 1.5 hours. I pray my anxiety and stress doesnt act up and get me worse. This is a very scary thing for me to and the pressure is on for me to finally manage these monthly tours. STAGE FRIGHT!! UGH!!! I sure could use some funny words of encouragement before tomorrow....
