Yes, I AM doing better -- MUCH better. I have MUCH fewer attacks. Gee, I'm sorry that my post gave the wrong impression; I may have to go back in there and change it.
Yes, I am able to get out and go places and do things now -- and I wasn't able to 4 months ago. That's incredible! Yes, I am SOOOO much better.
I even went to the new property and, typical construction site, it was full of debris. Hubby and I spent hours picking it all up and hauling it away. Sweat was pouring down my face, my hair was dripping wet, I worked my BUTT off! I could never have done that 4 months ago. True, it hurt when I bent over to pick up the stuff; my tummy did not like that at ALL -- but I just ignored the pain; after all, it's not going to stop me anymore.
I really think bloating and gas are nothing compared to having panic attacks and being home-bound, afraid to go anywhere, having extreme cramps and URGENT diarrhea all the time. Oh yes, I am SOOO much better now.
Also, it's a matter of priority. I have just been diagnosed with high blood pressure and high cholesterol and tryglycerides. That's not good. Very scary stuff. That's at the top of my list of complaints, believe me. A little gas and bloating are nothing compared to placque-clogged arteries. I have SOOO got to do everything possible to reduce it -- my daddy died from it.
Sorry, I'm rambling now. CrampGirl, thanks for your concern. You're a keeper, Girlfriend!
