I did say I would be honest on this blog and I am holding myself accountable daily with my check in and workouts, even if myself and only 1 or 2 others read them.
I am still waiting for the urine culture results to see if I have anything that is causing my stomach issues/bladder issues aside from the usual IBS, but I did speak with a nurse from my insurance who confirmed that the Calcium supplements of 600mg which were the only thing different that I was taking can cause clog your pipes big time, in addition to other side effects that thankfully I don’t have. However, being back up for me is a big deal and plenty to deal with.
For someone who has had IBS for 24 years and suffered with gastritis since 2019, and going from running to the loo 2 times a day to then 6 -8 then back to 2 or 3, not going at all is concerning. Looking at google makes you even more concerned, and maybe borderline panicky. I always check meds or supplements before I take them and this time, I didn’t. Although I was trepidatious about the high dosage, I figured let me take them and see. Since I had no adverse reaction like stomach pain or the runs, I figured, I’m good. Not once did I think it would cause these issues. Add to this eating more fiber and not drinking enough water in the day, only just starting to exercise a bit only last month, and you have a recipe for disaster. I read if you don’t go in 3 days you have to go to the ER. I can’t afford to go to the ER so I’m hoping the Colace the doc at urgent care helps.
For now it’s just lying down and praying that I…forgive me for whoever reads this…. back on out tomorrow. Today at least, I did not let the discomfort keep me down. Today, I’m okay with not being okay…although I did scream and rant a little..and curse a lot.. hey I’m human. However, I did 15 minutes on the glider and exercises with the resistance bands for my arms. That’s a hell of a lot more than I would have done in the past if my mood was shot due to health issues.
No playlist today. Just gliding with my thoughts
