Sweats in an attack

Loc: Within stray mortar fire of DC

when I have an attack, I get sweats and chills 30 minutes after I start eating. Sometimes I get so hot, I have to remove all my clothing (don't laugh!) and sweat it out on the toilet.

The D comes after that. Like the sweats, it comes in waves. I find having a watch to look at sooths my anxiety; I know when to expect the next wave by timing the sweats.

The only thing that breaks this cycle is opiates for me. I have tried a number of therapies. If I take 8mg of codeine + acetaminophen as soon as the sweats start, then another dose a few minutes after, it "resets" my system. Don't know how, but it works great.

For the last few years I've been on opiate therapy, and it's allowed me to have more than a half hour meal without having to run to the bathroom all the time.
