So, I’m back from my most recent doctor’s appointment. Early last week I had my stomach investigated, and today the doctor told me they found nothing wrong. Nothing! Tell that to my stomach that so often hurts. The only way to relieve the pain is to eat. She is as confused as me, because I have the symptoms of an ulcer, but there is none to be found. Very frustrating.
On the lighter side, she has ordered me to relax. 😉 Long baths, walks in the park, etc. Enjoy life, she says. Excellent advice, aimed at soothing my stomach and my non-ulcer.
So, the plan for the weekend. Today: a nap, maybe a load or two of laundry, some TV (I love Most Haunted), and some cross stitch, and, if I’m lucky, some journaling. Tomorrow: shoe and clothes shopping at a crowed mall in the morning (stress!!!), and a walk in the park in the late afternoon or early evening, and cross stitching with some TV. Sunday: Laundry and napping. 😉 Relaxing enough? Maybe, but the coming week at work will be the true test.

Do you get migraines? I do, and I sometimes also get what I call a stomach migraine, where I don’t have much headache, but stomach problems that are often relieved by eating a little.
You might have IBS. My mother had some of the same symptoms and the doctors could’t find anything wrong with her for a while either.
