Hey again peoples!
I wish I could hang around here more and not seem to only show up with my own problems, but I try. I'll try harder, (I know, I worry about that too much)

Anyway, last night I had a very awful D attack. Several, actually. Possibly the worst, if not moreso, than my "Easter Turkey" attack some of you helped with. I was so scared. I almost cried. I was power-praying (which has been a gigantic help). I was worried I would pass out from the burning and the pain-which I've never done. I dont know if it was the worst attack ever, but its surely one of them. It was really upsetting because I've had a fairly stable time for almost a month. I have a few minor attacks and I think once or twice I had a restless night that made me not feel so good-but those were fairly mild painwise. This was awful. I fear its still there-Im still really sore "down there" and am scared it'll hit me again at work.
I havent started my CDs yet because time has been inconsistent and I heard you should have a set time to do them. But after last night, I really want to avoid something like this ever again.

Ok, so my warning is on the only thing I ate that was new. It was the Kraft instant pasta salad. Its the kind where you add your own dressing. So I added this new extra virgin olive oil dressing that was uberlow in fat compared to the other stuff AND had no HFCS.
Has anyone else had a problem with either of these? If not, be careful if you do. Everything else I had all day was normal foods (I had leftover spaghetti for lunch, but I sprinkled sugar on the sauce the previous night and it didnt bother me at all. Dinner was Salmon patties and those have been a diet part since I started, so I know those are ok)
Just wanted to tell you guys. I'd hate for anyone else to have an attack like I did.

Also, I bought Heather's peppermint caps and take them at least once a day for stability. My question is: the directions say take one up to three times a day. But if I have a bad attack, is it ok to take two of them at that time? They seem to work well for daily function, so I wonder if a bad attack can be halted with two of them.


I hope you are all doing well. Looks like its broth for lunch again and rice for dinner(Which I do for any bad attack-give myself at least a day of easy foods), but I hope I dont have to miss work.
