Thought I’d better jump onboard misfortune8‘s ingenious bandwagon and set myself up a dedicated thread for those who wish to speak to me! A little belated, but hey, better late than never!

Hiya, and welcome to my little space of the wide and wonderful BH! Anything you want to tell or ask me, type away below.

    Haven’t seen you around on the forum for a while, sunjeanie. Happy birthday for yesterday!

    It was really easy to make. I went to Kmart and got a $5 pet mat and 4 $1 bulldog clips. We had the wire at home so it was just bent and the rest just happened really quickly.

    I did look online but I was too lazy to sew it so I just figured it out as I went. It is furry and warm so they love it!

    I didn’t know this thread existed. Good idea sunjeanie

    Honestly, your tum tum absolutely sounds like what I go through every now and then. It’s annoying so I can really feel your pain due to it. I remember being out and had a hot chocolate and I did ask for skim milk. It was really nice but tasted a bit creamy. We had to go to a friend’s place to drop something there and then I was like to my hubby I have to get home quick. You just feel it coming and you just want to run like the wind. Obviously the hot chocolate was full cream milk because I have had skim milk before there and no problems.

    Have they suggested a Colonoscopy for you sunjeanie? At least it can rule out other problems.

    The pain I get is pretty much centred, it’s contractive and clunky with a bit of gurgling noises.

    I do feel like it’s food and emotion based (scared, excited, stressed, nervous emotions etc). And usually happens late afternoon to night time and in the presence of friends – like at a friends place or out to dinner.

    I’ll have to quickly get home once I start to notice I feel uncomfortable before I get too bad, or I’ll be stuck where I am until it’s all over. The worst of it usually is for half an hour, but one time it was for a whole hour.

    Although I can eat the foods that I believe to have caused these attacks/flare ups and be completely fine. It’s very confusing. My last flare up I was having nibblies at a friends place on Christmas eve (crackers, cabanossi, gherkins, dips etc.) but I’ve had all those things before and been completely fine.

    I believe I’m lactose intolerant, so I have cut milk and ice cream out. I think cheese is ok, as long as it’s hard cheese.

    I’ve always wondered if I had endometriosis, my ultrasound didn’t pick anything up, but I’ve always had bad period pain since the beginning, so I’ve been taking the pill without breaks for as long as I can remember, which is usually one of the options for relief of endo anyway. I possibly haven’t gotten progressively worse because of this if I do have endo. Will be good to speak to this OB-GYN next week about that side of things

    I won’t give up on getting multiple opinions if that’s what it takes, but I’m glad to hear your hysterectomies have provided some relief to you both.

    Kassalee – no I haven’t taken Roaccutane (would have been something I would have considered at one point, but I have a terrible needle phobia and you have to have regular blood tests). I have however been taking Diane, which is supposed to help with problematic skin, but this has only been for the last 6 months or so, so I it can’t be the underlier.
