Sending you love. I don’t know if your symptoms vary by day, but I hope tomorrow is better.
<3 This isn’t a ‘symptoms’ thing really, other than symptoms of being in a generally pissy body. I mean, I guess technically anything tummy is soooort of related to IBS, but it’s also mostly a matter of what I eat and typically my own fault. My GI system is angry because I ordered Thai food for lunch, and then tried to eat some more for dinner, and my body’s just not accustomed to dealing with that much grease. I’m trying to burp a lot, chugging the last of my seltzer (oops, I thought I had another bottle, oh well), ‘cause that helps some.
The yawning hurts because I pulled an intercostal muscle a few nights ago, and it’s taking a while to heal. It is definitely healing though -- the first couple of days all my sneezes were abortive because it hurt too much, but I sneezed a few times today. Yay sneezing! Um.
I also tend to be extra-whiny and grumpypants when my stomach is acting up. Something about that particular kind of pain... Also, because it’s partly IBS and I used to treat it very effectively with Maalox (Extra?) but that’s been off the market for a few years and nothing I’ve tried yet works as well. GRUMP.
Also I’m hot. And have to be functional and outside tomorrow when it’s very hot and relatively early and there may be drama. I’m just mumbling and grumbling because of the weather and a tummyache ignore the GRUMPITY GRUMP.
