Last night was a painful one. I had some allergic reaction to something
I had eaten. Similar to what happens when I eat anything that has any onion
in it. I was very thirsty and drank at least half a gallon of water. And I was
still thirsty, all evening, all night. I quit drinking water as I felt so bloated
- like if you would pin a needle to my stomach I would probably explode like
a balloon fillef with water. The incredible thirst and bloating, added to some
pain where I was most bloated (wrists, ankles etc) lasted all night.. only in
the morning, after having turned around tens and thousands of times while trying
to sleep, it occurred to me it could have been a reaction. I was untill that
thinking it was just normal not so perfect digestion brang by fibromyalgia,
or that maybe my kidneys had simply quitted working yesterday. The thirst never
went away, and my body help the water in me for longer than comfortable.. my
eyes must have been sunk in my face, I remember more than once trying to figure
if there was a way to breath easier, without making a noise.. The thought in the morning about the allergic reaction came somehow as
I realized my stomach seemed still weird. It felt like a stone, or just incredibly
blocked, far from what it should be. I guess in the mirror I'd have looked like
I was pregnant. I felt some gas coming back from the stomach, exactly like what
happens after I have eaten a bit of food containing onion in the day before.
Thinking about it, I had had maybe a spoonful of the topping of a bruschetta,
that I think had some onion.. but I didn't eat any onion itself. Maybe a just
more unlucky day? Or maybe my allergies are getting weirder? Either I ate too
many different kind of things so my stomach could not handle them, or it was
that bit of juice that was in that spoonful... either way, the anti-histamines,
antiallergenes helped a bit, also taking with some mild diuretics (that aren't
used for self destruction but only when my body doesn't want to work properly).
All day's it has felt really weird, I tried eating some food (a bit of ice cream,
some tangerines, a bite of chocolate) but it still hurts and feels really blocked.
Well - whenever the onion allergy stuff occurs - after having eaten onion by
mistake - it normally takes 2 to 3 days to get clean and working again. Even
water feels bad - when it's worst, I can't stand water and yet I can't be without..
I want to have something that feels like fresh aloe vera gel does feel on the
skin, in my stomach. Something isn't right. Oh well. Something like 2,5 years ago I had the stomach like this, except
far worse. Even a sorse of water would hurt, and I'd look like I was pregnant
for a few days. Everything was painful, no matter if ate anything or not.. I
let it stay a few days knowing that I'd be too tired to fight with the hospitals
- but if like in a week it wouldn't have got better I'd have gone to the ER.
I was changing the country from Italy to UK, and somehow the UK doctors just
seemed far more to trust. I know I should "thank" my dad for having the stomach I have.
He has always had issued with his, and I've got a weirdly insensitive one..
I just hope this damn _thing_ goes away, now. >:-o |
