Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | plummet to a 1.... bad night

this is the worst i've been and in retrospect i guess i should have stayed in tonight....

the movie (Man on Fire) was GREAT- probably one of the best i've ever seen. my dinner was good, too (sushi).

aside from that, the evening sucked.

i was beginning to get a migraine before i had to pick up my friend. add that to the fibro frog that started earlier in the day. i'm still new at this. i should have been paying attention, but my thinking was "i'm already in a flare so... it can't get worse, can it!?" famous last words. i got naseaous. i got dizzy. i got us to the restaurant and thought if i had some food and a coke i might get my bearings. felt fine while sitting down. got up and got woozy. pulled it together. almost cancelled on the movie, but daggonit i wanted to see it, so we went to the store, first, 'cause we had some time to kill. had to sit down while she browsed for some stuff, but still hanging in there. got out into the parking lot and drove to a nearby store for some bottled water (mine was gone, she forgot hers). she ran in 'cause i was feeling woozy, meanwhile i broke out into a cold sweat. i mean a really bad one--- was mopping sweat off of my forehead. scooted over into the passenger seat and let her drive. you'd think i'd just cave in, but no! i'm stubborn. i'm seeing the daggone movie. we get to the theater and my legs are wobbly when i get out of the car. sheer force of will gets me into the theater and seated. good movie, as i mentioned, but my arms started getting wobbly 1/2 way thru. thought the movie would never end. i stood up when it was over and almost fell right back down my legs were so weak. they just gave out. not to mention the freaky shooting pain in my left knee! so i'm grabbing the back of seats and the wall trying to walk out of there with some composure, which i promptly lost 'cause i started crying from the sheer strain of it all. composed myself in the bathroom and slow-walked to the car, holding onto stuff the whole time. thank god the wanting to vomit feeling was gone (though it's back now) and i managed to drive her home and get home myself.

shouldn't have gone out.

sorry for this post if it doesn't make sense or if things are messed up and misspelled. i think my brain is getting ready for another vacation without me--- my apologies too if my cognitive issues mess up any posts in the next few days. just bear with me. if it's a really bad post, tell me and i'll delete it.

is this ride over yet? i want to get off.....
