Feeling down today, and honestly I don't know why. I have done well for 1 1/2 months on Heather's diet. I have had little pain, much less cramps...if at all at times. And only 2 days with bad cramps, or some urgency. I haven't had "D" until today.
I took a insulin test (naturopath wanted me to do it). You have to fast for 12 hours and then drink a carbonated really sugar drink (orange)...I really worried when I did the test. I had to sit 2 hours to wait for them to take a blood test..and I was fine.
Today, I had "d"....I must say, it wasn't my typical 6-7 runs to the toilet..and after 2 bouts I was back outside.
However, the anxiety over having it rear its ugly head is getting to me. Having a new baby, and having this hang over my head is getting me depressed. I have always been a strong person...but recently, this is bummin me out.
I know you all know what I am talking about. My husband says I should be happy that I didn't get as sick as usual. He says that means I am getting better. All I can feel is broken.
Sorry, just needing a shoulder. I know you are all dealing with this stuff too...I appreciate you listening.
What do you all think? Am I on my way to stable?
Ugh! Thanks in advance for putting up with my rant.
