Thanks for answering my post, Puddytat55!! It makes me feel better knowing I'm not alone with the suddenly keeling over syndrome! Sometimes it's like as if I've been suddenly shot in the stomach. It sure looks like that to my coworkers!
You're totally right. Normal people just don't understand. I don't think others have any idea about Real Pain!!! How do you handle it at work? I want to dodge the drama, but I must look possessed, sweat dripping, gritting my teeth into a grin, trying to politely squeek out an whispery excuse to dash out the door and "pool walk" triple time for the bathroom...!
For me, it's either starve, load up with imodium, or wait motionless for an attack. No help that the anxiety waiting for an attack makes it so much worse! Do you take meds, keep water nearby, or anything like that?
