I knew it...  
I knew this week was just too good to last. My stomach hurts. A lot. Well, not enough to go to the doctors for yet, just enough to make me walk bent over at the waist and wish I had a hot water bottle or something. So not fun.

Sitting is mostly okay, not exactly comfortable but I can cope with it. That, plus the fact that IT are finally getting round to sorting out the problems with my PC, means that I actually have to work this afternoon.

Joy.

Plus? Pain, not good.

Aww!

Sorry to hear you are feeling ill! Hope it clears up! Go buy painkillers and take it easy!!

Luckily our staff room actually has a pretty comfortable couch in it which I just spent an hour curled up on. I feel a little better bit will be much happier when I'm at home curled up on my own couch I think.

(My download of Lost finished at 11pm last night but I was too knackered to watch it then so I've got that to look forward to when I get in)

Watched Lost. Was going to write a post about it. (Maybe will yet). But got distracted by booking holiday and didn't get round to it.

Busy at work. So haven't had a chance to do it here either

Actually, if you're having stomach pain, don't take any painkillers other than Tylenol. Asprin & Advil will just irritate your stomach lining. Did you try taking a Pepcid or another strong antacid?

I tend not to take medication unless I absolutely have to and since I've not eaten anything today I don't want to make anything worse. I did take some antacid - Gaviscon - but it's not really having much of an impact. Thanks for the advice!

Sho, hope you're feeling better - lots of hugs:)

Now for the little nag - 2.56 pm and you're writing 'since I've not eaten anything today'! Ahem! Am I going to have to come up there and start force feeding you?!

Well, there was the whole not eating breakfast thing and then the whole being in too much pain to eat thing...

It was a whole big not-eating thing. *g*

(much better today though)

I'm presuming that you're certain that it's definitely your digestive system playing up and not anything else in that region. 'Cause for the other thing I find a hot drink sometimes eases the pain, as does working the muscles in that area.

For the digestion thing, have you tried just boiled water, it works with Ben's stomach more times than not.

Hope you're feeling better, chick.

Yeah, it's digestive I think. I'l give the hot water a go, plus I've got peppermint tea in the house that might make a difference.

Thanks!

Not a problem. I just thought I'd mention it because sometimes it gets so bad you can't tell where it's coming from, 'tis very annoying.

Hope the water helps.

Okay, how bent over? How much does it hurt? Which side is the pain on?

*hugs*

Not so bad that it looks like I'm Professor Farnsworth from Futurama, nagging, right hand side but not my appendix.

I'll be okay, I just need to curl up for a while which isn't really an option at work for some reason...

Your appendix was what I was worried about. You're sure it's not your appendix?
[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com on January 21st, 2005 08:56 am (UTC)
I'm sure, I had the appendix thought as soon as I narrowed it down to the right hand side but I've discounted it - heat is making it better when it wouldn't really have any impact on apendicitis.

I'll keep an eye on it though and if gets worse or doesn't clear up I'll be straight on the phone to NHS 24.
