yikespanic Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Hi all, I just needed a little place to whine today. I have been trying not to complain to family to much, hubby has been so wonderful and I don't want him to be over burdened by hearing me complain all the time. I started my period today and I've been misserable for over a week. I have been extra weak and on top of that The antibiotic I'm on for my lyme has agravated my IBS and I have had the "runs" (i know gross) after almost every meal for over a weak. It's been difficult keeping up with fluids and I feel like I might be getting dehydrated. And on top of that my last bloodwork said my RBC was a 3, and the iron is adding to my stomach pain. I have been sleeping till almost noon everyday, getting up to only before that to drink and eat eat a little around 8am. My doc said to stop antibiotic for 5 days and sent me to get a refrigerated acidophilus from health food store, which I did yesterday. I am suppossed to eat yogert 3 times a day, but I am lactose intolerant and I wonder if that could be agravating it. I know yogert is not supposed to have hardly any lactose in it but I wonder? It like a catch 22, eat yogert to keep intestanal flora up and it might give me trouble. I hope the pill form works better and this all calms down. We leave for vacation on July 9th and I am just shuddering to think of it. We havn't had a real vacation in 10 years and weve been planing this for months. Yesterday my husband took us to a really nice park to go for a little walk, I felt sorry for him cuz as soon as we got to the half way mark I had a stomach EMERGENCY if you know what I mean. We had to turn around and go home. He ended up going on a bike ride alone and brought me back chocolate soy milk and raison bran for me. Some drown there pain in ice cream, I do with soy milk and raison bran and maybe tufutti ice cream on top. Sounds gross but it's really good. I just want this all to go away.....

Guest dionna Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 my boyfriend almost wants me to complain all the time because i hardly ever say that i am feeling bad and i will pass out and he gets so upset. i'm just like you though. i only say it once and it should apply to the whole day. all people have to do is look at our faces anyway. i do hope that you get better soon and hopefully everything will just go away just as it came. good luck to you.dionna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yikespanic Posted July 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 bright spot today, I got my Dysautonomia info braclet in the mail, and I went to get my hair cut. Thanks for all the good thoughts everybody. Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneEyre9 Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Hey Kim,i can sure relate about the antibiotic giving you stomach problems and your period at the same time! I am also lactose intolerant, and i can't handle the yogurt either. The acidophilis pills worked for me but they took a couple weeks to kick in. I hope you start to feel better with those. As for the tofutti, i'm right there with you! It's great for a down day, or even a good day. Hope things start to feel a little better. Enjoy your trip!Kristen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
