Guest guest Posted August 25, 2002 Report Share Posted August 25, 2002 << I am pretty sick today... not as sick as yesterday, but not a whole lot better. >> Dear , I'm sorry to hear that you're not feeling well today. For what it's worth, I suffered in combination with you yesterday. I was sick to my stomach all day long. That's the worst feeling. Nausea. Ick. And for anybody wanting to know if CP can be stress-related, I'm shouting a resounding " YES! " My partner and I have been trying to decide for about 4 years about whether or not to sell a house in Topeka that we've had for about 15 years - it was our first space together, and we completely rehabbed it top to bottom, and had become entirely attached to it. However, I've been working in KC for about 7 years, my partner moved too (finally) when " work " made it possible due to expansion about 2 years ago. So we've been really attached to this house, we both really love it, and we've been wondering... " Maybe we'll end up back in Topeka again, maybe we should hang on to it " , yada yada yada. Bleah. Well, we finally " got off the pot " and did a final clean up, had a Realtor spend the day with us Friday, and the beast is finally on the market. Lots of words to try to explain it, and I know to most it's like, " Uhhh... Yeah, whatever... " , but for me it was extremely stressful. Sellers' remorse, inspectors in and out all day, last minute this-and-that (Rich is painfully anal, and absolutely EVERYTHING has to be perfect for whomever buys this house - they're moving into a castle, I swear!!). I couldn't eat anything all day, my stomach was just turning over and over. I retched a couple of times, thankfully not for very long each time... I knew I needed food, I was shaky, weak, etc., but I just could not make myself eat anything. Then the pancreas started to twitch and swell, pushing against my back. Unfortunately, I felt compelled to stay around to answer questions, etc., so even lying down didn't present itself as an option. For me at least, this one one helluva stressful day, and my body was telling me that it thought so too. Constipation followed by diarrhea even, etc... More retching, stomach pain, back pain, and it started to feel like a full onset was beginning. Now today - even with only two hours sleep - I feel like a healthy vibrant person. 'Splain THAT will ya'!!! I've just had a painful, nauseous " episode " that was better in 24-hours-or-less! I don't believe I've ever experienced that before! Generally, when an attack begins this way, exact same onset symptoms, etc., it NEVER lasts for less than four days-to-two-weeks. Ever. 4-5 days MINIMUM. ONE day?? I'm extremely THANKFUL, yet fairly confused. I'm wondering what it was that I experienced, if it wasn't an " episode " or " attack " ; I'm extremely confused. Anyway, I avoided the ER, am feeling stronger and healthier today, and just extremely grateful for all of that. I was NOT looking forward to going to the ER after over 2 months of relative good health. I'm shooting for a per sonal record. (Actually I think I've got it, I'm just seeing how long I can make it last!!) That's my personal update. Sorry to be so wordy. , I know you're out there suffering my brother - I do wish I could be by your side and just be there for you. I am, spiritually, and you know that you're in my prayers, and I promise, my prayers last all day long... And this entire list is suffering with you, believe it or not, and praying for you and pulling for you and caring about you. I hope that you're able to feel that, and that it might be of some small help. You are one of us, and you are very important to us, and you're experience is PART of us. I pray for strength for you, especially at this extremely difficult time, and for wisdom and guidance... and mostly relief. You know what I think you need to do, no point in rehashing it. Bottom line - take care of - we need and care about him. I love you my friend. You deserve good things. Give them to yourself, just like you would a friend. You deserve nothing less. - heal well, heal soon. Peace & Love, Terry in KC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
