Dirty Pots , Washed And Clean At Last .

[willows]

Hello all .

Did you like the title I've been stuck in bed, up and down like a yo-yo for the past 5-6 days , so unwell and unable to stand for any lenght of time I've been unable to get a shower or a proper wash and have been feeling so grubby , the title is rather appropriate dont you think .

I went to see my doctor today as I've had so many 'full blown' pots attacked in the past few weeks I am getting very worried , I dont know about you all but I'm moving forward again , well one cant expect to keep at this level for ever can you .

What is most frightening is the inability to swallow now when Pots is full-on now , its so awful , I've been having bouts of this for sometime over the years but over the past 5 days or so I've not been able to drink much .............out it comes again head down the loo ............OMG not a nice thing , and as well as that I cannot keep things in lower down ............out it comes the other way again and so I've now lost around 6-7 lbs in weight and have this level as a steel ruler flat stomach !

It appears that when the full-on session starts my digestive system closes down completely , if it lasts for just a day I'm OK , but if it carries on I'm in big trouble what with the 'flue like symptoms' hitting me in every single joint I have and some I never knew I had ..........the vomitting for England ......should have gold medal by now ............and the sore bottom symptoms , ( cheese grater comes to mind ) ........blimey now I know how a baby feels , bring on the nappy cream ouch, ouch , the excessive sleeping , vision all over the place , headaches , feeling cold ............ami , cold blimey she must be ill !!! inability to eat , lay flat , walk , talk .........wow this is a good one , I called my boss on day 2 of the big pots session and she thought it was one of those 'strange phone call' if you get my meaning , she did not recognise my voice at all and when I said its me Ami , well she immediately thought I was having a stroke or a heart attack mmmmm, hubby's said almost the same my voice goes very weird , mind you I'm weird all over so whats new !

So girl here's fed up , hungry , sore bottomed ( still ) and unable to eat much at all , its almost as if I've had my stomach cut into 4 , yes, 4 I can manage to eat say a slice of bread and I'm full or say half a baked potato and thats it , lifes getting rather 'weird ' here in the South , must be the water or the weather , drugs may be ...........nah , can't be they have been checked and re-checked by doc , so friends it looks as if I'm having a big pots session,mmmmmm hope it turns out to be a roasting dish or a huge casserole with a lid as i could do with one of those for christmas use !

Well a girls go to laugh at herself or she'd cry , tired again now and need some sleep if I can , so its Bye -bye from a clean Ami , smelling of baby talc and nappy cream .............OMG what has my life come to

Sorry, Ami. That sounds miserable!

I'm glad you got a chance to clean up. It's a nice feeling!

I hope you feel better soon.

BIG HUG TO YOU

I know just how you feel with the stomach. When My POTS first hit me, it felt like my digestive system was just shutting down. I was smart to keep eating and not let my stomach atrophy. That would have been ugly. I still couldn't eat much, but nibbled when ever I could. Lots of cheerios........ vitamin fortified---

I hope this passes soon, and your able to function better soon!

Hope things are getting better! Hang in there!

I like your sense of humor! (I guess it helps to have a good one with everything going on.)

But, I did like your analogies! I can understand exactly where you are coming from.
