not that it takes much any more for that to happen after the last three hours. After almost eight months of having had my system calm and stable (only a few minor little episodes lasting an hour or so) I am trying to figure out what is going on with my body.

I woke up with extreme stomach ache- almost like I hadn't eaten in two days and had then done something really stupid like eat the whole cake and ice cream too. I thought that I would head to the bathroom to be safe rather than sorry. It took me a bit to get moving as I tried to overcome the pain. I made it to the bathroom and as I sat there I became lighted headed from the pain. It lasted at most a few seconds and then it was followed by waves of nausea. After hanging out in the bathroom for a half hour and nothing happening other than determining I hate the color scheme in there, I moved to the couch with the puppy.

While sitting with her I realized I am all stuffed up, my body aches and my gut hates me. I have gone through my food diary and nothing has changed (even checked the labels) that could possibly set the tummy off. Things at work are going great since I switched to a low stress job- the biggest stress now I trying to remember which cabinet what office supplies are stashed in so I don't go on a digging spree. Things at home have been great other than the rabbits eating my little eggplant plants out of the garden. Spent a relaxing weekend on the boat and caught up on reading and napping. I would say my biggest stress currently is what to wear in the morning and if I have to iron it.

It doesn't seem like a summer cold so I haven't a clue what might be causing the problems. Any suggestions? I would like to go back to sleep but that's not even working since I get just about out and WHAM...gut ache. Almost wishing I had done something to explain this.

Thanks in advance.
