Hey, guys. I'm obviously having a bad week, as can be seen by the number of my posts. Here's my problem:
After I had my colonoscopy last month, I had figured that my GI would have an idea of a routine that would help, or else have a magic pill that would "fix" me. No dice. He says he's gonna pass me off to the thyroid guy or another specialist now because he doesn't know what else to do for me.
It didn't help that I felt so damn good after the colonoscopy either...I wasn't bloated or in pain or gassy for about 3 weeks. But after that, everything came back in full force. For the last two weeks, I haven't been able to go the bathroom except for every 4-5 days (I'm IBS-C) and I'm miserable. The bloating is constant. I'm tired from lugging this gut around, and completely demoralized. I'll admit to eating foods that aren't so helpful, and avoiding the gym to simply huddle under a blanket on the couch with my cats and be depressed. Yeah. Real healthy.
In short, I think I'm at the end of my rope. I'm tired of coping, tired of dealing, tired of scouring 3 or 4 grocery stores a week for special food, tired of wearing the only pair of pants that fits (I'm sure everyone at work is tired of that, too!), tired of feeling "fat" and unnatractive, and dammit...I WANT SOME CHOCOLATE!
I suppose I don't have to add that I'm PMS-ing, do I?
How does everyone else cope after a few weeks of feeling good and then feeling so absolutely terrible? Sorry. I'm just pretty down in the dumps today.
