Ranga Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 When I am in a flare, I have pretty much a consistent symptom pattern - My gut starts slowing down, I do have regular BMs, but gas clearance becomes an issue, my pee starts to dribble. It's almost like someone just shut down my pelvic/abdominal area. When that happens, I have more bloat, my upper body starts warming up, I have more burping, I have sinus pressure, and leg paresthesia... when the gut finally settles down and relaxes, my feet feel really warm with paresthesia, gas starts releasing downwards with good urine flow and I feel cold in the rest of my body. This makes it hard to figure out what part to cover up. And if it's really bad, I go into fight/flight mode, with obsessive thoughts about returning symptoms, until symptoms subside. The flare used to last days, but these days, the worst has been half a day, and breathing is the only thing that helps me deal with it. A saving grace is that I know the pattern, but I am still clueless what triggers it.. and it always starts from the gut. As long as the gut is moving well, I am good.
