Crampy morning :(

Wow, what a morning L

Last night I started feeling nauseous while at my friends house. It lasted the last couple hours I was awake. When I woke up this morning I felt better while getting ready for work. Once I in my car on the way  to the subway I started feeling really, really bad again. The nausea was back along with intense cramping. I kept feeling like I was going to be sick on the subway. I was alternative between covering my mouth with my hands and doing a half curl on my seat resting my head on my hands from the cramps.

These cramps are AWFUL!!! In November, before the prednisone, I had constant dull pain. This, from what I read, is the same thing but feels much worse. They are waves of intense cramps that last for about a minute and then subside completely anywhere between 2-7ish minutes before they come back again. I felt like I was having contractions! Ok I don’t really know what contractions feel like, I’m sure they’re more painful, but the situation was similar. During the cramps I couldn’t breathe, tears were squeezing out my eyes and it was all I could do to not cry out. These waves lasted for over 2 hours. I was debating whether to go back home before even getting to work or seeing how it went. I came, and for the first hour I tried to squeeze in work between the pain. It’s 11 now and for the past 45 minutes I’ve only had 3 or 4 less intense cramps, thank god! The nausea is also pretty much gone.

This was horrible. I tried calling my doc but he’s in surgery Fridays and his receptionist wasn’t in. I have an appointment next Tuesday, hopefully they stay away!!!
