normally I have a dull pain. But his was very sharp.
It takes a LOT to get him sick. So maybe the quail eggs were the cause but hubby's guts just powered through it. I'm jealous of his digestive fortitude.
The foot is somewhat better. I can limp around using my cane as a crutch and I can put partial weight on the foot - couldn't put any weight on it yesterday. I'm resting up today and trying not to walk. It's yet another "in pajamas all day" kind of a day. Playing video games and crocheting a blanket, and wishing I could exercise. It's been a week now that I haven't been to the gym.
An oldie but a goodie. Hubby and I are taking turns playing. It's been something like a decade since we've played this game, but it has held up well - the graphics still look pretty good, and the gameplay is still really fun.
are you on a trial course? Or are the doctors satisfied to continue this as successful treatment? 
I haven't been to a Hard Rock cafe in years, but I think the last time I was at one, I had a tuna sandwich? It wasn't fried (I never did well with fried foods even before I got sick). Hopefully there's something you can have that won't make things worse. But hey, if you do get sick, aim for your mother-in-law.

that is a rather large list of medical issues you have there.. I be you could set up your own pharmacy with all the medicines you must need!
haha!!
Hi little bear! - I dont have EDS .. but I do have benign hypermobility. I guess you are familiar with chiari?
I hope you're ok xx
Just my two cents.
I also think this is affecting my "IBS" - I am getting sharp stabbing pains in abdomen - to the right side of my belly button
He just plopped down on the couch next to me and started shoving it in his face, and I smelled it and my guts went "urp!" and I had to run to the bathroom. Fortunately I didn't puke, but I stayed in there until I was sure he was done eating. Yuck!
Is there a reason they're only doing a flexi-sig and not a colonoscopy? The flexi-sig can only see the rectum and part of the colon, it doesn't get anywhere near seeing the terminal ileum (the last part of the small intestine). And the terminal ileum is the spot where the majority of Crohn's is diagnosed, so it's a bit concerning that they're not going to look at that area yet. Long story short, if they flexi-sig doesn't see anything, push for more tests. Don't let them say you're fine or that it's IBS and send you on your way when they haven't had one glance at your small intestine.
It's good that you're having tests done, I really hope you get some answers out of all this. It's interesting that they're doing an ultrasound first - ultrasound was one of the last tests I had done, and honestly it seemed kind of worthless to me. I was having a bad gastritis attack at the time of my ultrasound, but since my pain was high up in my abdomen, they wanted to make sure it wasn't my gallbladder or liver or pancreas causing the pain. Apparently those organs were fine, my stomach was quite inflamed - but the ultrasound couldn't see the stomach inflammation, the gastritis diagnosis was basically a diagnosis of exclusion because they couldn't find anything obviously causing the pain. So maybe I just had a bad experience, but I feel like there are more worthwhile tests out there than ultrasound.
so today she will find out if its pre cancer or cancer, makes me incredibly worried. poor you! You seem to be having a rough time too so I will have to also give you a big hug
I vaguely remember, after my first colonoscopy, I asked my husband what time it was. He just smiled and said that was the 4th time I asked him that. And after my first upper endoscopy, I got home and told my hubby that I was mad that my doctor didn't even come out and talk to me afterwards. Hubby said, "He did talk to you! For like 10 minutes. You seemed coherent. How can you not remember that?" But I have no recollection of that conversation whatsoever. Whenever I have another scope, I'm tempted to sneak in a tape recorder so will know what's been said! It was nice if a little silly, but I do appreciate that they cared enough to do that.
:hug:
although I avoided any abdominals exercises and I took it easier than usual, and that went well. That made me feel somewhat better. Things are still definitely somewhat "off" so I'm going to take things as easy as I can for the next day or two. Going to bed nice & early tonight because I am feeling wiped out! Looking forward to a hot bath too.
lsgs, I've noticed that the blood only happens the day after I've had a long bike ride. I think it's happening because, when I ride my bike, I need to keep my abdominal muscles tight and engaged for balance and steering and all that. If I do that for an hour or more, the guts seem to get really unhappy. I'm not sure exactly how that is causing bleeding, but that's the correlation that I've noticed. So I'm going to not ride my bike for awhile and see if the bleeding stops. I'm kind of depressed about it as I really like to exercise and I hate to have a form of exercise taken away from me due to my crappy health. So feeling pretty down in the dumps and mourning the loss of being able to ride my bike.
Of course I can always ride my stationary bike - it's recumbent, and I don't need to balance or steer and I can just sit back and let my legs do the work - but it's sooooo boring to sit on a bike that doesn't go anywhere. I was so happy for nice weather and being able to ride my bike, but I guess that's just not in the cards for me.
As for your MRI, I would definitely call the doc and start asking about those results. When I had an MRI of my liver, I was told the results were in the computer and basically ready immediately - but the doctor had to review the images first before I could be told anything. So if you don't have the results yet, it means your doctor hasn't looked at them or hasn't gotten back to you yet - so I would say definitely call the doctor and ask.
I hope you feel better - didn't you have food poisoning a few months ago too? Poor thing, hang in there. And nothing is ever TMI on here so don't worry about that. Undigested food seems to be part and parcel of having an illness like this, I think most if not all of us have experienced passing undigested food. I know I have - I swear I've eaten strawberries that I chewed well, but they somehow re-constituted themselves in my digestive tract and came out the other end looking whole again.
So when spring came along, I started doing short rides (like 5-6 miles) and that went fine. It wasn't until more recently, when I started doing 10-15 miles rides, that the issues started happening. So I can probably still get away with riding 5 miles without bleeding, but it's frustrating because I know I'm in shape enough to do more than that, and I hate holding myself back. I guess I'd rather just not ride at all right now. I'm not even sure what I'm going to do for cardio now - I'm going to stick with weights and yoga on alternating days for now and will hop on the stationary bike when there's something I want to watch on TV I guess. There's nothing like getting outside for a nice long bike ride though, and I hate my body even more than usual for it taking that away from me. It's just not fair. I know I complain a lot, but I "only" have IBD, GERD and arthritis, so I shouldn't complain too much. This not being able to ride my bike thing has gotten me really down, but I'm trying to look at the positives (at least I can still lift weights!! I think I would die if I wasn't able to do that anymore!). Anyway, I'm totally rambling on again. I hope you feel better soon, sounds like a really nasty food poisoning. Have you been to the doctor? As for your job, do you have any programs like Family Medical Leave (FMLA) there? FMLA is something we have in the US, basically it says you can't be fired due to taking extra sick days if you have a serious, chronic medical condition. I would be out of a job without FMLA! I hope there's some kind of protection there you can apply for. Hang in there, hun.
dear god I have a full other and I don't know if I can do it and I know I have no choice but its terrible.
