what the crap?

Ok, so maybe I'm an idiot, but I thought Prilosec and Prevacid (hello, it's in the name) did more than alleviate heartburn. I DON'T HAVE HEARTBURN. My fucking mid-section feels like someone is twisting it, HARD. Hence the ibuprofen. How the hell is heartburn medication supposed to help. I don't get it.
Still in flare-up mode. Things seemed to go back to "normal" after last weekend, but went back to crap this weekend. What is it about weekends?! Dammit! So yeah, not able to eat much again and I should be sticking with liquids, but it's very hard. Was taking a lot of ibuprofen to combat the pains, but doc said to cool it with that and try Prilosec or Prevacid (???). We'll see. I'm so glad I made an ENORMOUS amount of baked ziti last night. Thought this would let up soon, but maybe not, so I froze most of it. Food stresses me the FUCK out.

I asked the doc if your woman times could affect the flare-ups and he said he's had a few people who have seemed to have that problem. Since I'm on the 3-month pill (for endometriosis and cysts), I'm thinking that's why it's particularly bad right now. (I'm at the end of the 3rd month). Looking back, all the other more manageable flare-ups have been mid-cycle (or when it would be my time, if I weren't on this wackadoodle pill). So, it seems logical to me. And shitty. Also shitty.

As if dating weren't hard enough.
SWF. 33, never married. (Hmmm.) Has fun, quality-of-life medical issues and is possibly sterile, or will be soon. Also, half blind with an "artistic temperment" (read: moody and sometimes depressive). Make a line, boys!
