Moment of Peace
Just take it easy and get as much sleep as you need and I am so glad that all is quiet now as more calls are the last thing you need........lol - He talks too much? You think? Glad that you have things organised at work and prioritised too and I am sure that will help a lot. Have a good night's sleep and just do what you can tomorrow and then relax and enjoy the weekend rest. BTW the housework will wait so just do what you HAVE to do and rest as much as you can. Dust bunnies are good company at times. LOL. Will catch up with you when you are feeling up to it. Love and hugs, Marg

I'm sure the children at school aren't he best behaved. It is hard to get back in the swing of things. Have a wonderful evening. It's Friday tommorow!

Open Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
I have suffered with IBS for 27 years now. I had severe pain with explosive diarrhea. Once diagnosed I lived on Imodium for years, tried to relax and avoid greasy foods. I have now swung the other way and deal with bloating in mid gut that makes you feel 9 mos. pregnant and constipation. The last two years I have been put on potassium for hbp, & I have read that most people w/IBS have low potassium in intestines. I question if this caused my swing from diarrhea to constipation.
Treatments
- Imodium Working / Worked
- Definitely helped when I was in the diarrhea period. But it would stop it for a couple of days
- Peppermint Working / Worked
- Calmed my G.I. tract down.
