Why are we such emotional people? I am very easily upset and it really hurts me physically. Today started out with being upset...and I feel so much worse...my IBS or whatever this is I have is really getting more painful...just by being upset.

I know that emotions play a big part in IBS, but it's so quick, the worsening discomfort.

I got up thinking I would try the treadmill and be active today...now I'm too distracted. Take very little to change my whole outlook... :(

It is sooooo windy here today. Like shaking the house sort of wind...I hope we don't have storms...

Sorry you're upset today Jo :( I know what you mean that it takes so little to change our plans. Me too.

Do you have to be careful of what you eat when the IBS flares up?

I hope you feel better.

We are having the storms approach us...hope we have no problems...I just hate the tornado and hail warnings...but worse would be not knowing in time to get to safety.

We have hopefully gotten through the worst. Lots of rain adn wind, but no damage. Can you tell I'm a coward when it comes to storms? <s>

That's understandable. I'm a coward too. Kim just had an earthquake so you're not alone with your weather woes.

Oh, no! How bad was it? I haven't heard the news except local...

I don't know if it was on the news. I should put the TV on I guess while I freeze to death waiting for the heater guys.

She called. It scared her and her cat but she said she doesn't think it was a bad one. Is there a "good" earthquake? s:D

I know what you mean too Jo - we're having the same kind of weather you are. I've been emotionally upset trying to chase down a flu shot - the people who have them won't give me one. None of my docs have them available, nor does the State Health Department. :angry:

Marti :(

NO, but I'd say the building swaying would qualify as a "bad" one! Glad she's okay...

Glad to hear Kim is OK. The moon isn't even full!

s#P Marti

Oh, it is usually way more weird then! s:D

Jo, Glad to hear you are OK so far with the storms. I am terrified of tornadoes. My cousin who lives about 15 miles from us had his house completely swept away about 10 years ago. We have an area here called "tornado alley" and after they rip through there they always seem to head this way. Our worst time seems to be in the spring. Scares the daylight out of me.

Doyle said that Anchorage had a lot of tremors...at least while he lived there. Where does Kim live in Anchorage? He asked and I didn't know...

Jo, As far as being more emotional now then I ever was is one of things about this disease that really makes me feel guilty. I was so easy going and even tempered before that sometimes I can't believe the way I react to things now. I can get so irritated at times that I just go hide in my room when I feel it coming. When I start crying it is a bad bad sign. EVERY time I have ended up in the ER it was after I was weepy all day. Seems that is my "red flag" for my family. I hate these emotional ups and downs. :(

Maybe you should stress dose those weeps, Mo. You might head a problem off that way.

You know Mo, Susanne has a good point. Head it off as soon as you see it coming. This may be your body's call for more HC. Try it next time and see if it helps.
