ok, so i woke up this morning with horrible stomach pain. i was about to take my pills and eat breakfast when the fire alarms went off and we had to leave the dorms. I grabbed my breakfast figuring i'd eat it while we waited then take my pills as soon as i got back to my room (i've done this before without issue). the pain (which i thought was bad when i woke up) got worse as i ate so i threw it out and went back to my dorm to take my meds. Before i could, i got a phone call from my dad. My best friend's mom had passed away. i took an anti-inflammatory pill from my GI but assumed that the pain had to do with the death (this happens to me a lot. i don't necessarily believe in ESP or anything but i often am absolutely healthy then will get very sick. when this happens, it always accompanies something bad; a death, a medical diagnosis of a friend, etc..). of course the news effected me greatly. I did take the day off from work but i spent a good part of the day crying and laying around. i had promised my mom that i'd go out at some point so i went to the student center for awhile to watch a movie. i had taken my dinner pills, i had a light dinner and a small snack during the movie. again as i ate, the pain came back and got worse (i assumed that it was because the pain pill wore off). i came back to my dorm and took a shower (showers generally loosen anything that is stuck in my stomach). sure enough, right after i got out of the shower, i had to make a BM. I was very gassy, then some stools did come out.
SORRY FOR BEING GRAPHIC!
They were a weird dark greenish color with even darker spots (looking almost black). They were very hard and lumpy and there wasn't very much but seeing this frightened me.
any ideas what's going on? am i starting a flare or is this just me stressing because i'm already so stressed? what gets me is that the pain started before i found out about everything. like i say in the subject, i'm not sure if this makes any sense or not, i'm not totally with it... but any ideas would be appreciated.
