Okay, okay I know I've been complaining lots about the birth control pills recently, but they're just problematic I guess - and even more so when I forget to take them. So I forgot last night and so last night I took my pill that I'd forgotten and took the one I was supposed to take that night this morning. Tonight I will be back on track. Meanwhile - there is too much of something in my system and it is making my tummy turn! To make things worse I had this big long boring meeting this morning at work and I was worried about staying awake through it, so I had a small cup of hot chocolate - I know some people can handle that, but it's usually a trigger for me and my tummy is wining. I'm having waves of cramping about every 20 minutes or so and I have a feeling that as soon as I have something substantial to eat I will end up with D. All I've eaten so foar is a slice of bannana bread and I've drank about 20 oz of water on top of the hot chocolate. Any suggestions on how to avoid the oncoming D that I'm dreading here? I could just not eat for the rest of the day - but I don't think that would be good for the blood sugar thing. We're supposed to have dinner at a freind's house tonight too and I have no idea what he's cooking! Why am I getting the feeling that this was NOT a well-planned day?! So let me know what you think of getting myself out of this self-induced mess!
Thanks all!
