Pain in the side then a sudden explosion……

After being given drinks by the doctor to clear out my bowls as nothing else seemed to be working and taking them for a couple of days with nothing happening i was starting to wonder if i was ever going to be able to remove what may be blocking me causing my bowls to play up so badly as they have tested for every thing else. Yesterday, after drinking my second drink of the day as the dose is maximum of two a day, i suddenly had a sharp pain in me left side and i ran to the toilet and exploded. I then continued to exploded a few time in a row until what was inside was now out. I won’t go into details but the smell was horrific.

I continued to have terrible wind for the rest of the evening and small aches and pains in the sides. I then woke again this morning only to find i was building wind again and was slightly constipated again. I then decided i would drop my dosage and instead of two measures i would only have one. It took about 20 minuets before another pain in the side and a run to the toilet resulting in another large explosion with a couple of after shocks. I don;t know what is going on but i am just glad to be getting it out of me as it causes constant pain and agony all the time. I have now got horrible wind again and will probably have it for the rest of the day but at least the blockage, if there is one, will be removed over the next few days and maybe my bowls will then settle and i will get some rest from all this messing about.

My head is being good despite threatening to start a couple of times yesterday and once again this morning. I have plenty of injections now the chemist is doing my orders on a weekly basis and now keeps a weeks spare in stock so i should never have to run out again. My oxygen tank is starting to reach the empty mark so i will have to order another one soon. i have to say i am glad i use it as at times i am sure it has saved me whilst having major panic attacks. The main use is to reduce the amount of pain i get with the attacks and also reduce the length of time the attack lasts. Some times if you catch the attack early enough you can stop it from developing by using oxygen therapy. I will definitely have to re-order my tank so i don’t run out especially over the Christmas period.

Well i am starting to feel a bit better now what ever is causing this IBS to play up is coming out of my system so i will have to try and get in a couple of fishing trips before the weather starts to get to cold for me and my head starts for yet another winters period of pain. That's the only thing that has been stopping me from doing any over night fishing as i don’t want to have a big attack and something happen whilst no one is around to help, even though you prefer to be left alone whilst having the attack. I will have to try at least to get one over night fishing trip in before the cold snap so i got about a month i recon before it will drop suddenly and the winter will really begin.
