Well, Pretty Lady, it doesn't sound like you're O.D.-ing on the SFS. And only an occasional glass of wine? You're not drinking any coffee, are you? Even decaf? That would do it.
You don't mention anything about fruit or veggies. Maybe you need to try a fruit smoothie or some vegetable soup?
I don't know, Steph, I really don't. There's obviously something going on here; you should be stable by now, and you obviously are not. You mentioned getting on to the hypno wagon. Have you started Michael's tapes? I think "getting on the wagon" is a good idea.
I know you said you didn't feel stressed out, but I sense it in your posts. You've got that awful job to deal with, and that's stress enough (are customers still grabbing you?!), but you've also been waiting for the Police Dept. to come through -- for MONTHS now -- and that's just added stress that you don't realize. I personally had stress over anticipating the inevitable attack when I was on the road (such as the bus, the mall, etc.), and the anxiety would bring on an attack. Michael took care of that problem for me.
You don't mention family issues that could cause stress, maybe stress you don't realize you're carrying around with you? At least you recognize that you need more "ME" time; that's a good sign. I hope you find a way to get it. I also hope you get on the "hypno wagon."
Going back to your food journal is a good idea -- if it helped you at all before, it'll help you again -- but I think there's more going on than food.
What kind of antispasmodic and/or anti-diarrheal are you on? Hyoscyamine? Donnatal? Peppermint caps? It sounds like you could use some Lomotil or at least Imodium.
Honey, I've run out of ideas. Maybe it's time to go back to the doctor; you need some help. Keep us posted.
Bev
