I feel yucky and I need to whine.

For some reason, for the past few days my tummy has been acting up, but I can't figure out why. I actually had to take Levsinex on Wednesday AND Thursday. I usually hardly ever take it, let alone 2 days in a row. This morning I was having loose BM's and it felt like someone was just grabbing my left side and squeezing. Oh yeah – of course this had to happen today, because this morning I had my good ol' gyno exam! Yay for me! So anyway, I ended up having to take 2 Imodium to finally get things somewhat calm. Then, I went out to lunch with my fiancé and the left side cramping started again while we were waiting for our food. I just tried to ignore it and eventually it subsided. Oh yeah – did I mention I gained 5 lbs since last year. 
Well, on the plus side, when I went to find the Imodium this morning, it wasn't in the medicine cabinet. I found it in my travel bag from when we went to the shore in July. Yes – I have gone since sometime before that trip since I've used the Imodium. Also, I used the relaxation stuff I learned in the hypno cd's during my exam, and it actually worked. No pleasure for sure, but definitely more bearable. And if I had been feeling any kind of yucky at all in the day four months ago, there would have been no way in hell you'd find me in a restaurant, but going out to lunch was my idea. Ha! Does finding the good in all this make me an optimist! 
Oh well, I feel a little better now. Thanks for the vent guys!

Oh Mags, I feel your pain! I also have had a miserable IBS week. Big time pain and bloat. I just cannot figure it out. I actually felt great last weekend. Then all of a sudden, I am worse than ever. For the life of me I just don't see any pattern or particular triggers to explain these ups and downs. I suppose I should be grateful that I don't always feel this bad. So sorry you are not feeling well. Hang in there. artist

Hey Mags!
Sorry to hear you are having such a tough time
I understand how frustrated you must feel - it seems like once you get stabilized and then you have a flare up it bothers a person more, because you sit and analyze everything you could have done wrong in the past few days.
I hope you are feeling better!

Thanks LB!
I seem to be doing better now. I'm wondering if I was just getting stressed with everything I had to do this weekend (doc appt, picnic, bridal expo)? It's funny, because I didn't feel stressed about it. Oh well, who knows, who cares! As long as it's outta here! LOL
Thanks again.
