it's the pressure, right below the navel. a tightening, then a sharp poke. you shift your bottom a bit, exhale deeply, but the pain doesn't subside. you stand and feel something rise in your stomach, then the hunger pain. after a moment, that pain passes and the cramps begin.
this has been my life since saturday. i think its a minor case of food poisoning, but you never know. this is the second time this years something like this has happend, the first being extremely debilitating (requiring doctor care). i am at my wits end. i'm hungry as all get out, but every time i eat something normal (not crackers or instant mash potatoes) i brings out the bowel gremlins. so what to do.
homeopathic rememdies suck. eat apples, drink water. and doctors, well they just tell you to ride it out, unless, like me, you become so dehydrated from the expulsion of fluids that you hallucinate (awesome!!). so it's me and my old standby, yoo-hoo.
i wouldn't mind it so much, except my access to the bathroom is severely limited at work because the faculty bathrooms are under repair. so hopefully the yoo-hoo works....
