Someone told me I should not tell people that "I'm OK" when they ask how I'm feeling as this lessens others' struggles who also suffer from Chronic Lyme disease. I'm not sure why I always say that. Maybe it's because I often feel/felt a little under-the-weather due to Diabetes, and so it's more habit.
I decided today I would talk to the internet wall that I can't see. Today was mostly like all other days of feeling so tired I can't concentrate and feeling thick-minded and dumb. Then started the stomach bloating which turned into some intense gas pains. Would these gas pains run their course or turn into something worse?
They decided to turn into stomach cramps/gas pains so bad that it felt as if my digestive tract was going to explode. It makes my head feel white and hazy, and makes me feel that I could pass out from the pain. This usually turns into a bathroom visit that feels like burning in the digestive tract. You would think that after this would be relief, but the bloating/cramping continues and so do the bathroom visits.
Usually I can pinpoint this to eating corn, tortilla chips, popcorn, anything with corn, etc; but sometimes it's random. No corn on the cob for me this summer or maybe ever again.
Hopefully this week continues better for Wes and I as he also had a rough weekend.
On a positive note, I think Marshall gained another 5lb today! I can't hardly pick him up anymore.
Hope you keep this public diary up-it is good to know what you are going through. Hugs.
