I never did make it to the ER but I did call a nurse and discussed my symptoms with her. According to her, it sounded as though I did indeed have a touch of food poisoning. Well, if that was a touch, I definitely never want to have full blown food poisoning. When I spoke to her on Saturday, the cramps that I had(which I can only compare the pain to those of labor pains) had subsided. I told her this and she said I had pretty much weathered through the worst of it and that things should get better. I also explained about the lumps I feel on the sides of my stomach which she really didn’t have an answer for.

But she was right, on Sunday I was feeling much better than I had on Friday. I actually got out of the bed after being in the fetal position most of the week and cleaned the house. She told me I should try to eat light. After not eating for about 3 days, I scarfed down a steak, fries and some sauerkraut. The only thing I gave birth to was some killer gas. The lumps I only seem to notice when I am full but this still concerns me. I have an appointment with my primary on the seventh of April so I will inform him of what had happened and the lumps to see what he has to say.

I can only hope he doesn’t want to schedule me for a bunch of tests. Until then I will try to drink some water and take some colace. Maybe that will make me move something and be the answer to what ails me. I can only pray it will be that simple. But what do I know? I’m not a doctor, I just play one on the internet and I only diagnose myself.
