Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Update on me

You know how I said I thought that my sense of "stability" (really, the ability to break the rules with no big consequences) was cool, but I was aware the other "shoe might drop"?

Well...it sorta did today. I find that a bit ironic.

So here I am, after not sleeping more than a few hours over the last several nights, having coffee drinks, loads of chocolate at all hours of the night, etc. etc. - home feeling nauseous & "off", and wanting to kick myself.

** DON"T TRY THIS AT HOME!

Breaking the rules too early doesn't do you any good...even if it's been o.k. along the way, it will catch up with you if you aren't truly stable! I knew this and STILL continued to break the rules!

I started eating lunch - pesto pasta - and suddenly felt the most intense nausea. I had been hungry right before. So I attribute this to the TWOish hours of sleep from last night, and my coffee drink this morning. Maybe the pasta/pesto was extra oily too. Whatever...it made me miserable regardless.

Serves me right. But I can always start over. yippee.
