Ibs

I have Ibs quiet alot stress worry brings mine on and if Im upset.still got prolems with my back,ut ploding on. hope your ok too hun. take care hope you have a lovely day and weekend x gentle hugs

At the moment the bloating seems to happen every time I eat, my weight is a problem at the moment, I haven't been this heavy for years! I am trying to excersise, I went to aquafit last night, and it's reasonably pain free in the water, but as usual paying for it today! Hey ho! Onwards and upwards, at least I managed some excersise this week! 

Hope your back isn't too painful today, I am surrounded by my hot water bottles, three in all, and my microwaveable cherry stone pillow as I type! Have a good day, and weekend my lovely. Gentle hugs x 😃

Curious PiliPalaB4ch...  what is a Cherry stone Pillow..???    I automatically invisaged a pillow filled with actual Cherry stones.  Could it be true the fruit stone...of  Cherries??

Yes Deb, it is a by product of Kirsch production! I can't stand the smell of wheat and lavender - this doesn't smell too much! Plus the stones let you mould them to just the right place! I got mine from that famous online store that reminds us of the jungle ( hope that is allowed- apologies if not) I love it and will probably buy a second one soon! 

lol I think I could posibly beat you on the wind front. my stomach pains are quiet painful with it,Im either constapated , or terrible diarea I agree where the loating is concerned I look and feel as if Ive put on loads of weight, mind you my weight is up down like a yoyo with the fibro. hey ho onwards upwards hope you have alovely day and weekend deb take care gentle hugs xx

Ibs isnt plesent at all to have, ive only had since having fibro ive had it alot just recently. being upset or stressed worried brings mine on. plus I have to watch what Im eating as sometimes food can trigger it also. My Back is very fragile so having to be careful, Hubby has got monday off for his birthday and our anniversary so looking forward to having the day together, Im hopeing my back will allow me to do something, but if not just spending the day together will be enough. its amazing how things get passed on gene wise from parent to child. I hope you have a lovely weekend christine and enjoy your special day on sunday, hope you have a wonderful birthday and family meal out. hope youve had a lovely day today take care gentle hugs xx

fibro has alot to answear to it affects every part of us from head to toe

Hi Kaz1968 I was wondering how many of us had it before fibro and since having fibro, as its a fibro symptom. mine only started since having fibro

Ibs has been really bad just lately I am that bloated and look as though Im 5 months pregnant.? weight Im up down like a yoyo Id love to be a size 10 in my dreams I was that size before having my 2 boys. struggled to loose the weight I put on with them both. take care hun hope your having a good weekend, and not in too much pain. xxxx

Hi Meg, Kaz,

I don't get diarrhoea or constipation on a regular basis, but I get a whole load of wind trapped under my ribs, it's constantly gurgling about until I get so much it almost makes me sick and I have to twist and strain till I burp I don't know if this is fibro, but I try and eat regularly, even every few hours, but like you Meg, I struggle to put on weight.

I would be interested to hear if you think it's the fibro.

Hope you enjoy your day.

Hugs

Boqer

Not sure whether related to fibro or seperate condition. It is somehow connected with food intolerances and our own individual digestive systems. I take a probiotic every morning (if wasn't allergic to dairy I would probably eat live culture yoghurt) and I eat as healthily a diet as possible. Have you been able to work out any foods that may be triggers for the wind production. I think stress and eating food on the run can make things worse, (personal opinion only).  Please let us know if you find any answers.

 

Thanks Meg,

I have tried to find some food intolerance which may be causing it, but have so far not come up with anything but I will keep an eye on it.

Hi Boqer Im not sure hun if its fibro related I do get a lot of wind, mainly down to what I eat. When I get wind I get really bad stomach pains.I try eat as healthy as I can but recently have strayed off it. so getting back to healthy eating this weekend. if it happens again just see what youve eaten that day incase its something youve eaten thats causing it. if it continues just have word with gp to rule out anything else going on. take care hun gentle hugs xx have a good weekend

Thank you Kaz, I will keep an eye on things.

Have a good weekend

Gentle hugs

Hiya boqer hope your not in too much pain hun youve had a good weekend. last night I had terrible wind very bad stomach pains I had a beef burger last night I think it was that  that caused it. so Im keeping off fatty foods going back to healthy eating. Ive been off track just lately. I think the wind is down to certain foods that arnt agreeing with us? Hope you can find out whats causeing yours. take care gentle hugs x 

Hi Kaz

I'm sorry you had such pains last night, funny though, I woke up in the night and was awake for hours with stomach pains. I ate vegetarian lasagne for dinner and a couple of rivita for supper and both of those I have reasonably regularly with no problems. It just doesn't make sense.

Any way I hope your week goes well, and don't over do things, that's my biggest pr

(Oops 😊)

my biggest problem, and this week it's going to be very difficult no to. Take care

Gentle hugs for all week!

morning boqer Ive noticed that with getting older, my body is funny to what it likes food wise and what it doesnt. its taken a dislike to fatty foods. I cant eat cake chococlate as Im diabetic but my food tollerance has changed loads. even eating salads can have an affect on me. Sounds to me like the ryvita and veg lasagna may not be agreeing with you any more try cutting them out then see what happens. hope you have a good week hun with not much pain take good care of your self big hugs coming to you x

Evening Kaz

Yes, I can appreciate what you are saying, we seem to change with age as well as with the fibro every time I eat lettuce or cucumber I suffer for it. We just have to keep a constant eye on things, it gets exhausting and I sometimes get so fed up of it that I just choose a meal I enjoy and be done with it.

It's rough though. Hope your day went well

Gentle hugs

Morning boqer how are you today hun? I cant do right from wrong with food at the min, everything I eat seems to be affecting me at the min getting frustrated with it all. Just want to eat food and not keep being affected by it. Never mind onwards upwards. hope you have a good day today with not much pain. take good care of yourself gentle hugs xx

Not the best of days yesterday got problems with my boiler hopeing it would be fixed. as having to keep boiling kettle for washes. got no hot water or heating fingers crossed it gets done today. How are you doing hope your manageing to get some sleep. gentle hugs xx

Morning Kaz

Yes, at last I managed to sleep last night! Was rather nice. I've really got the aches today as I overdue it with some cleaning yesterday, so I think it will be a couch day for me today

I'm sorry to hear about your boiler, and hope you manage to get it fixed soon, just think how pleased you will be once it is. Had to have my boiler fixed a couple of weeks ago, and once it was done I was like...Wow look, hot water!

Take care today

Gentle hugs

Hu hun rest plenty today? boiler fixed yiiiiipppppeeee I can have a shower? weve filling the kettle up for hot water and only been able to have washes. I will get hubby to check everything out when he gets home make sure all is well with it. have a good afternoon take care gentle hugs xx 

Well done getting your boiler fixed 😀 you must be pleased, and purring about getting a shower, have a good evening!

 Hi hun joy was short lived no hot water now got a leak looks like got too have new boiler. I sat cried today its really stressed me out. I had to get on floor turn stop cock off it hurt my hand legs then had chest pain was breathless not a great day. hope your day has been better than mine. take care gentle hugs xx

Ahh, Kaz, poor you, I hope you feel better today, gentle hugs coming your way. You just got to try not to stress, always makes things worse and is always difficult to do.

I'm in bed today, had some things I had to do yesterday my feet and hips are so sore I can hardly walk, it doesn't seem fair but there we go. Hope you have a better day today.

Hi Hun sorry to hear your not doing so great today? we are doing well between us I was in an awful lot of pain last night. I covered my self in hot water bottles and wheat bags. I didnt feel well at all, I got up to today Im just resting. Im having a lot of pain in my hips all last week my feet hurt that much it was hurting me to walk. Hope your pain soon eases get plenty of rest and some sleep. Thinking of you big hug coming to you xxxx

I really hope your pain eases soon for you. I managed to get dressed this afternoon, and then had to lay down on the couch, so that was my day I expect tomorrow won't be far short either. Yes, I find that hot water bottles help generally, but sometimes, especially on my hip it can also make things worse somehow, but my feet usually need one, they seem to get cold in the bones.

If I don't speak to you before, I hope you have a restful weekend.

Gentle hugs

Hi Boqer, Hi Kaz...  Bone cold feet, and at times heat doesn't help and can make it feel worse..  YES I understand all this to, hence why I use cold packs  now on my wrists and sometimes my feet.  Helps to sooth the head to! haha.....  Then there are times of day and night that I need heat, but not to much or I explode into a Volcano, which doesn't take much to do either at times...  Can be 'Painfully unbearable'...  

I've had 72hrs so far very sore and fatigued after travelling back home.. I did of course expect this head/body reaction.  Thankfully not as bad as it can be.. phew!  BUT got a lot of unpacking and resorting of boxes I managed to stack in my laundry to make room in my small wee dwelling for my cousin and friend to kip down for a couple of nights whilst away.  I'm now cringing looking at all this 'to do' stuff, knowing whats to transpire during and after the 'to do' work.......UHG!  No storage at all here in my wee dwelling, no garage either...  hohummm   Trying to downsize, clear out and minimalise.  

Rest up folk, don't push yourselves to hard..  I was trying to push myself  and move a little faster than I actually am capable of, What happened to remind myself of this...... grrrrr subsequently I lost my balance when I was putting my shoes on, I stood up to stretch out of a painful stance, with my shoes half on,  I stumbled forward,went to take a step to correct myself and without realising it I was standing on my shoe laces. No reaction time 'Down I went' and 'BAM' OUCH!!   I couldn't tell which way my big toe caught inside my shoe and wrenched but boy oh boy did it make me loudly swear at myself, suck it up and feel nausiated..Blew the top of my head off!  Kind of pain...   Foot and toe swelled, 3 days later Toe, and up my foot and round to the sole 'black and blue'...  tsk tsk.. honestly, can't believe myself sometimes...  grrrr  It's on the mend now the bruising is coming out.  Can now slightly bend the toe so that's promising that nothing is broken, just wrenched and strained..  Hohummm..  I've done in both pointing fingers over the last few years, broken and crushed injuries, now my left toe.  My Right Toe is quivering now fearing for it's future! hahaha

Ahhh, your poor toe, it must be counting it's days! But seriously, I do hope you heal up well and quickly, and about the heat issue, yes, I agree totally. My feet are usually bone numbingly cold so I put a bottle on them, but I have to take it off just before they get properly warm, otherwise I get burning sensations in them. I find the hot shower water makes them ache too and I have to stand squiff so that the water doesn't hit them directly.

Ahhh Bless you deb your poor toe, hope its much better for you soon hun. I can imagine the pain you were in it happened to me a few weeks back I kicked the side of ,my coffee table boy was the air blue, I felt so sick with the pain, I didnt half dance about. you have my every sympathy. I have been having a clear out anything that gathers dust Ive got rid of with not being able to clean like I use to. This house gets sooooo dusty it has to be dusted every day. Ive gone minimal as Im for ever loosing my balance falling over. My house is a lot smaller to what I use to live in. I need it too be more manageable now. Hope you have a good day and weekend take care gentle hugs xx 

morning boqer how are you today? hope you managed to sleep well? I had about 2hrs sleep last night bags under my eyes are getting bigger? hope you have a good day and weekend hun take care gentle hugs xx

Hi Boqer Hope you have a better day today hun. my hands feet are forever cold, yesterday I was soo cold I had my fire and heating on. last night I was sweating cobs had a fan on me? I cant win Im getting alot of hip pain at the min in my right hip its very painful when walking we are in for a buisy weekend as hubby is painting we are going to look for a new bed?. Im trying to make my bedroom as lovely comfortable as I can seeing as I spend half my life in it. trouble is everything I want is expensive? poor hubbys face when I show him what I would like lol his face is a picture bless him. hope you have a restful weekend and not too much pain take care hun thinking of you gentle hugs x

Morning Kaz

I just made it up now, and got to the couch, don't think I will be doing much today though, hips and feet still painful, and general fatigue and muscle aches too. Just got to rest up for next week.

Sounds like your bedroom will be nice and cozy, just what you need. Hope your aches get better today.

Gentle hugs
