4:15 on a Monday afternoon and I am trying to sneek in a blog. Finally called my Dr. regarding the pain last week and he thinks it's an ulcer. Put me on a perscription 4 times a day, plus 4 pepcids a day. My life now has to be broken down in 30 minute intervals. I can't eat for 2 hours before or 1 hour after I take the perscription, I can't take the pepcid within 30 minutes of the perscription, I can't drink for 30 minutes before or 1 hour after eating... And honestly, the H2O consumption is what is hurting so far... it's hard to find the time, and I can't drink too fast, because it hurts. If I drink too late, I'm up all night in the bathroom.
I've read that caffeine can contribute to an ulcer, and I realized that between my tea mistos and my crystal light iced tea, I was consuming caffeine all damn day. Add that to taking NSAIDS (ibuprofin, advil, motrin and the like) and of course I am an ulcerating fool. It's my own damn fault. I never imagined I was doing this to my body. Now, I am paying for it. I have to call my Dr. back tomorrow to let them know what's what - I don't know what the next step will be.
I am so damned tired.
Ok, end whine.
