Re: not coping

Thats ok sis @Sans911 💜

Glad your supervisor was making sure you were doing it right then 😏 😉

Maybe do some emails, theyll prob bug you and not be able to sleep anyway

Re: not coping

Yep, I got up @outlander. They were bugging me so I'm doing them now. Mr A is also making sure I do them by sitting on my feet. The nights are getting colder now so he's quite happy to lie next to me or partly on me.

Re: not coping

Im not feeling to well @Sans911 the nausea is so bad i cant even get meds down to help it. The pain keeps coming in waves, its really painful. I only had both sets of painmeds 2hrs ago. I dont really know what to do. Its in waves so right now its managed but a few min ago i could barely breathe through it.
I cant get in there and i cant have ambulance at my place. I feel so friggin stuck here sometimes. Maybe i should just try and get through the night

Re: not coping

Do you have any peppermint tea @outlander? If you do, could you sip on that? Or if you have the oil, you can rub it over your throat and belly. Maybe try another hot pack on your stomach.

Just try to breathe through it, not against. So try to relax into the pain.I know,much harder to do than it sounds.It is I'm here with you.

Re: not coping

I dont have peppermint tea or any oils left @Sans911
This has to be one of the most painful things ive experienced so far. I might wait for the next wave to pass and try and take an antinausea med. Ive already taken the max dose of the anti spasm ones too.
Ill try a heat pack now.

Re: not coping

The colic attacks can be very strong & painful lil Sis @outlander. They are one of the worst pains to have. Do you have any other teas like chamomile? Or just sipping maybe some warm water.
