My new BFF, abdominal cramps

If there's one thing I can count on lately, it's getting nightly cramps and/or nausea. It's getting annoying. Last night I was out for dinner with my parents, and after I had got about half way though my meal my abdomen exploded with cramps so bad that I had to undo my jeans button and lean back in my chair. It didn't get better, and when we left I walked to the car hunched over. This has been happening almost every night for the past week, including tonight while I am typing this. Usually it's not so sudden as last night, but it's there. It started as nightly nausea but now it seems that cramps have come along for the ride too. I'll mention it to my doctor when I see him Tuesday. I haven't heard back about my MRI appointment yet, so I don't know if he will prescribe me anything. If I was taking Pentasa like he told me to, could all this be avoided? I'm leaning towards no. I feel sort of like a bad student who isn't doing her homework. I'm almost a bit embarrassed to tell him on Tuesday that I haven't taken it like he told me to. Oh well. I haven't been taking Tylenol for the pain but really, that doesn't do much either. My life these days is full of useless drugs. Guess it's that or the evil monster drug.

My yoga classes are going mostly well. Last Wednesday I felt really sick during my class tho. I think it was partly due to the fact that I was super tired (I didn't have my daily coffee), and partly from these night pains. I was struggling to finish the class, feeling very nauseous. It may also have been because I had gone to class 2 days in a row (Sun & Mon) so maybe it was too soon to be back in practice. Maybe my body needed more time to break from me pushing it too much.

Heading to bed now. Goodnight!
