Well, it's a half-hour after I've eaten, and the discomfort has not gotten any worse. (cautious cheer - huzzah!)

The reason this is significant is that this is the time when the pain first started yesterday. I figure it's when the food passed from my stomach into my gutty-wuts and started the brouhaha. So, I may be in the clear...not sure yet. So far I'm just somewhat uncomfortable but not in real pain. In fact, it feels like whatever it was may be dying down. I'll know more this evening.

After work, I'm going to stop by Whole Foods and try a remedy that too_shy suggested. I hope it makes me feel better already, because I really don't want to miss tomorrow with the family, you know? My stupid guts can go back to tormenting me after Monday, when my sis goes back to Spain.

Cross your fingers for me, all. And thanks ever so much for the encouragement and kind thoughts. Really, it helps to know people care.

*gingerly hugs*


ETA: Now I'm getting those gurgly/bubbly sounds in there. That I can deal with, 'cause I know what those are - just plain ol' food grumblings. They don't predict a very pleasant evening, but at least they are familiar, and I know what to expect. Much better than OMGWTF.

*fingers crossed* Health issues are Not Fun - hope this resolves quickly.

I'm glad to hear you're feeling a little bit better. It makes me feel so frustrated that you're in pain and there's not much you can do about it, except go to a pharmacy, maybe? It really makes me hate your government! It's just inhuman to put people through stuff like this. People saying: "I hope I don't break my leg or I'll lose my house." It's ridiculous. Grrrrr.

*soft hugs*

Just a quick fly-by to say that you're very much in my thoughts, and I hope that you'll feel better very soon. I also hope that this country wises up and provides universal heath care ASAP, as it will be even more of a disaster than it is if we don't.

*careful hugs*
