I've had better days...

I've been sick since Monday. I'm sure it's an IBS attack, but I'm usually much better by now, three days later. I have the usual nausea, cramping, burping, (TMI?) stomach pain, but also just hurt all over. I feel like I've been beat. No fever so I doubt it's Covid, but seeing a PA tomorrow. I've tried not to eat hardly anything, but even dry toast and a plain baked potato hurts. Like I said one time, IBS is like having a spoiled brat living in your stomach. You never know what's going to piss her off. I know it could be worse, so I'm trying not to feel sorry for myself. Some of y'all are much worse off than me. I'll write an update tomorrow. Love you guys.

My heart breaks for you, you sound so ill. I hope that when you go to bed tonight that spoiled little brat learns to behave and change her tune. Feel better my friend, feel better.

@1creekgirl You're welcome. You remember to put that little brat to bed so that she stops misbehaving.

@Juliaacv I never know what's going to set her off. One time it was a vitamin pill. One time it was a marshmallow. A marshmallow!

What do you do when you have an IBS attack? Mine usually is better by the next afternoon, but not this time.

@1creekgirl I take the pill they prescribed or I'd die of pain..it's called amitriptyline and it is a lifesaver

That must be tough !! Stay strong. As for food, I suggest you eat the easiest stuff that digest, like boilet veggies with almost no spices and definitely no oil.. Or pasta also with no oil, or white rice ..

We have a stomach virus going around our school and I have read that the norovirus(stomach bug) is now trying to be the biggest disease on the block.

I'm so sorry you feel so ill. I'm sure IBS is incredibly hard to manage. My niece has it and I know it wreaks havoc with her life sometimes.

I'm sorry that you're not feeling well. I hope you feel better soon. I was on meds for my IBS-C but had side effects that I won't discuss here. Now I just have 5-6 prunes a day and am not bothered by the debilitating nausea, etc. Good luck.
