Health Updates: What the butts ๐
Added 2025-10-17 23:50:31 +0000 UTCI'm an IBS girlie and I think I'm funny, what can I say? ๐
This week has honestly been such a dumpster fire for my health and I truly do not have a good explanation, but I am pretty glad I had the week off of streams ๐
My week off started with two very exciting visits: BurgerBoi and Mama HK visited from the Thursday - Saturday, and Waltermellin stopped through on his way to Toronto on the Friday. Which was FANTASTIC and so fun to spend some time together and a great excuse to get lots of yummy food ๐คค
Unfortunately for me, though, being out and about and eating lots of yummy foods are two things that have a tendency to wreak havoc on my body ๐ ๐ซ So my body hurt and I got a migraine, as is usual for me being out...or honestly just upright for too long ๐ . But also, I was recently diagnosed with IBS. And multiple days of yummy food (let's not forget Thanksgiving was also this past Monday ๐) had my insides screaaaaaaaming at me all week. My abdomen has stabbed me so much, I'm starting to think it's trying to give Myrna a run for her money ๐ ๐ฌ
Also, I had physio again today, and honestly, the hand/wrist stuff might be the most painful thing I've been to physio for aside from displaced ribs ๐.
So I feel like the past week has just been a kind of hell week for all my muscles, tendons, joints, and organs...all the internal stuff ๐
Which maybe might explain the extreme level of fatigue I've been experiencing the past few days. I definitely was already feeling pretty exhausted before the start of my break, but myyyyyy goodness my body has been through a lot. And the fatigue has made it near impossible to get through a day without napping at least once, even though I don't end up feeling any more rested anyway ๐ซ
On the bright side: that means I am definitely getting more rest since Tuesday! And today, while I am feeling pretty run down and drained for a number of reasons, I have actually felt a little more rested and a little less fatigued (I haven't even napped yet today!) ๐ฅณ
Hopefully that means I'll be feeling energized and good to go by tomorrow's stream! ๐ค

Welcome officially to the IBS club. We don't have badges, but we carry Tums. That's another problem for me where I'm sure I had it my whole life, but I didn't get a diagnoses until my 30s. Digestive problems weren't high on the list of things to complain about when I saw a doctor, until I started getting ulcers from NSAIDs. It has slowly become worse with age. It used to be specific foods made me gassy, etc. Now I can skip meals and I still have a problem. Just leaning over so my abdomen gets compressed, and I may start burping. ๐ What did one burp say to the other? Lets go out the back door. ๐
