Anybody have #IBS ? I've had an intermittent pain RUQ abdomen for 20 years. 20 years! During that time I've had periodically various imaging done when it flares up worse than usual, and nothing is ever found. Everything looks perfectly fine, but this pain comes and goes. Feels like it could be gallbladder pain. So I just had another ultrasound, my 3rd in these 20 years, and everything looks normal. It's pretty aggravating. #medicine

I may be into some hippie shit, but you can fuck right off with your "IBS is a trauma response, just work on your PTSD" bullshit.

Despite the tone of my previous toots I feel dreadful this morning.
My upset stomach continued to rumble on during the night and because of that I slept really badly. Goodness knows if it's connected to my #IBS - I hope not because if it is, it's a new twist in the long tale.
I think my guts are starting to sort themselves out now, but I need a hefty dose of shut-eye, which I won't get until the #broadband installers have been at some indeterminate time this morning.
Sacha is at the gym this morning and at U3A this afternoon - so I'm in charge of the house again (oh, the resposibility!)

The overlap in terms of care for an #ibs flare-up and a uterus during menstruation really is astounding. While I do not have a uterus, I *do* have IBS and damn...I wish I had known to just ask someone with a uterus what they do to take care of period cramps because it's been super effective to handle this current flare-up I'm just wrapping up.

Also the fact that we tell people they're just supposed to shrug this shit off and work during pain like this is fucking criminal.
