Bad night

It's late and I should be in bed but instead I feel like crap.    I had a not so great snack about 6 hours ago and dinner about 5 hours ago so I don't get why it has taking so long to affect me.  I started with the nausea right after dinner but then a couple hours ago it started to get worse and then about an hour ago I had to hit the restroom twice (but I feel like I will have to go again soon).  I'm also occasionally getting pains about 3-4 inches above my belly button.  This is new to me.  Usually I get them lower and have D (you all know those D cramps).  Anyway, I feel like my stomach, or whatever that is that hurts, is spasming.  I feel like if I was a puker I could have puked by now.  Does anyone ever get this or know what it is?  I don't like this and I really need to get to bed.  I've just taken some probiotics so I hope that will help.  I don't know what to do next.  I hate playing this waiting game.  Sometimes it takes an hour to pass sometimes it takes several.  Ughhhhh.....

If you get this stomach problem frequently, you might want to investigate getting a prescription for reglin. Reglin causes your stomach to empty. My mother has gastric problems and has always kept a prescription of it for those times when her stomach gets upset. I've used it when I get something that sits on my stomach and just will not go away. I had chips and dip a few weeks ago and ug... so greasy. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling like there was just this huge pile of grease sitting in my stomach and making me nauseated. I got up, sat around for about 15 minutes, decided it wasn't going to go away by just sitting up, took a reglin and sat on the couch and read for about 30 minutes or so. When I didn't feel like there was stuff still sitting on my stomach, I went back to bed and slept well the rest of the night.

Since it empties your stomach out completely, you will be STARVING later. I was very hungry when I woke up the next morning, so I ate something and was perfectly fine. I don't know that it will help you if your stomach is cramping, but if you could take it when you first feel like your dinner or whatever is upsetting your stomach, you may get whatever it is that's bad off your stomach before it causes it to cramp.

I'm sorry you felt so crappy last night, Lil.  I hope you are feeling better tonight...are you??

D + Aunt Flow = Pure Misery.  Have any Midol?  Did you work today?  You have that crazy long commute, right?  I can't imagine...I hope you're back to your cheery self soon.

You're not a downer by any means!  Vent all you need to...that's what we're here for!
