I just thought I'd share another crapped-my-pants story for those of you who are feeling a bit down...the other night I was sleeping nicely (a feat in itself) but woke up suddenly and realized I had made a watery boo-boo in my undies!  Proceeded to trip over my cat in my quest to reach the bathroom before this got any worse.  Rinsed and hung my dripping drawers over the tub to greet my man in the morning, LOL.  He was absolutely delighted. devil

((((Sarah!!!)))) What happened!?! You poor dear. I’m not sure I’ve heard of this happening to you before. Geez, did you have to tell Adam what happened or did you lie and say it was something else?
You are 1 of the rare bread that keep a good attitude about this. Kudos to you!!!!

Actually he woke up when I got back into bed and I told him what happened...he smirked (as did I) and the snuggled with me, what a guy!

Yeah, this has been happening a lot lately - not pooping myself, but waking up in the middle of the night with diarrhea.  It's gnarly!  I'm going to tell the endocrinologist about it but he'll probably want to send me back to the freakin' GI.  Blarg!!!

Waking up in the middle of the night with D reminds me of my high school days... every night :(

So since the endo wants to send you back to the GI are they thinking that its more than your thyroid now? Are you going to have to start back at square one with the GI??? I hope not (((MORE HUGS)))

Man, what a trooper Adam is!  Glad he's not put off by your GI issues.
You think your pooping has anything to do with your meds?
Ditto what Des said... I hope you don't have to start all over again with the GI's.  sad

Hey dudettes,

No, they never really told me what I had.  They all agreed I couldn't possibly have IBS, but no one gave me a better answer, so that's why I still pester y'all here :-) .  The endocrinologist also doesn't seem to think that my Graves' disease is causing the diarrhea.  He said an overactive thyroid can cause loose stools and increased frequency, but not 10+ times/day of watery diarrhea!

Ugh, I don't even care anymore!  I swear, I am just absolutely done stressing about any health-related issues.  Diarrhea?  Pop some Immodium.  Heart palpitations?  Beta-blockers are a wonder.  Insomnia?  Right on, I can have more fun since I don't have to spend as much time sleeping! 

Sometimes I feel sorry for myself or I feel very crappy but most other times I just think to myself...Sarah...you'll be a doctor soon enough, you can fix yourself then!

Nothing like prescribing yourself your own meds (just make someone else prescribe you pain pills--got to keep that on the up and up). I would practically never see a doctor if I could get BC and antibiotics over the counter.

I didn't hear, where did you decide to go to medical school?

I haven't pooped the bed before, but one night, when I had a bad cold and was coughing constantly, I apparently picked up my water glass in my sleep (one of those huge 32 ounce things) and proceeded to pour ALL of it out on my chest. Stuart and I woke up about the same time and jumped out of bed. He admited the, when he woke up, he thought I had peed in the bed, until he realized it was really cold! ROFL. It was in the wee hours of the morning and we had to pull off the foam mattress pad and put on dry sheets. Luckily he thought it was funny. I put the water glass back on the bedside table, but with MUCH less water in it this time.
