Well, it has been quite some time since I wrote all about my poop. And I know all of my followers (yes, all 4 or 5 of you!) have been waiting with baited breath to hear what is going on in my toilet. Until recently, my bowels have been behaving themselves. This isn't to say they never gave me trouble, but generally, when they acted up, after a couple of days, they calmed back down.
However, that all ended about 3 weeks ago. Right around Christmas time I started having more abdominal pain. The lower right side. That is never a good thing with me. Then the diarrhea started up. And then more pain. Pain that wakes me up at night and keeps me from sleeping.
I had a GI appointment on Jan. 3, and at that time, I wasn't overly concerned, as it had only been a couple of days and I thought things would follow the pattern they'd had for the past 9 or 10 months. Nope. Now I am woken up at night to go to the bathroom. I am in pain so often, that the days I work from home I have a heating pad on my tummy the whole time. Working in the office is a new kind of torture. I have decided I don't care what my co-workers think. So when I'm in the bathroom, I just let loose with the loud, noisy disgusting, smelly diarrhea. If they want me to work in the office (instead of at home) then my co-workers will have to deal with the bathroom issues.
I just wish they wouldn't come to work sick. My mercaptopure dose has been increased, and every little germ or virus that I come in contact with decides to set up housekeeping in me. I can't remember the last time I didn't have a stuffy nose or sore throat. Oh, well.
I hope this is just an unusually long period and everything will calm down soon. But I wouldn't bet money on it.
