I get so frustrated and I think those around me do as well. If it isnt the stomach issues it is arthritis or fatigue allergies or asthma. currently I am due for my cycle which since my surgeries I dont always get but I always have the PMS. I was off the pill for some time a cpl years ago and my cycle was much heavier however not as heavy as before I ever went on it. Today I am tired (I got up at 815 today and that is early for me but it is daylight savings) I am due for my b12 on the 15th so I think it is a combo of things. Just found out about
my lactose test being positive and I am checking more and more labels. things like cheddar cheese never bothered me and there is little lactose in that compared to other things. My boyfriend doesnt seem to think I should avoid EVERYTHING with lactose incl breads etc and worryt about
deli meats that may have it as a filler since who knows how long I have been intolerant and been eating it as he states just fine (but thinking back I needed tons of pain meds on days where I would have ice cream etc. So I guess for now Until I get lactaid pills I am going to avoid milk, ice cream and the like and see how things go with low lactose (even plain m&Ms list lactose as an ingredient outside of listing milk.)
It has been raining a lot here in oregon lately witch is normal this time of year I get a little bit of energy when I go out but not much and when I arrive at home I go back to feeling crappy. I am also stressed about this upcoming week. We are going to our godsons house Fri and staying til tuesday and going out hunting every day. this means if I have to use a bathroom I need to find a tree or use a bucket...if I want I can stay at the house but I would be all alone. we will be about 30 minutes from the house and out for large time spans so I am coming up with a plan 1st take my lomotil...2nd no lactose and eat minimally and then hope and pray for the best. I hate and try to hang on to avoid public restrooms always have but go if the only other option is to mess myself.
It is funny my bf is like are you sure you are ready to go with a bunch of hunters and talk crap be around them probably farting etc...was like hell if they have a contest I could beatr you all...
I just hope this feeling crappy things gets over soon. I have really been not up to my norm since my lactose test I was so bloated I had to undo the fasteners on my pants while in the vehicle etc but had to try and get them closed to go in public places...this is the 1st day I havent been in drastic pain sicne then thankfully but oh so drained
