Ha yet another day of mahoosive temptation safely over!! Why is it that as soon as I decide to give it 100% a million and one social events suddenly crop up in my life??? I could go for months and not get invited anywhere and as soon as the 'd' word gets mentioned, bam full social diary!!!
This weekend is going to be difficult, the family are all getting together to scatter my Gran's ashes. On Sunday night they are all going out for dinner and I had said I'm on call and can't get a signal in the restaurant that's been booked, so can't go. Dad has backed me up on it, even if it is a total lie. I feel bad but I'm not going to be railroaded this close to the start of my good intentions. I need this diet more than I need one meal out with the family.
On the health front, still feeling no better really. I've at least figured out why ibuprofen is not touching the pain.... It's an anti-inflammatory and my inflammatory marker test came back as normal, so it has nothing to act on, doh! Going to take plain old paracetamol next time and see if that helps. I also looked up Movicol in the BNF (medicine encyclodpaedia) at work and one of the side effects is abdominal pain...... So I'm going to stop taking it for a few days and see what happens. I swing from being convinced its IBS to being convinced I have ovary problems. Logically it's IBS because the pain comes and goes and ovarian pain is constant and gets worse over time. I'm just sick of this ruling every minute of my life.... If it's painful I'm worried about what it is, if it's not painful, I'm worrying about when the pain will return. Fed up with it now. If I'm still getting pains when my GP comes back from annual leave on the 10th I'm going to ring up and ask to be referred for an ultrasound scan. The annoying this is I could just take a quick look with the ultrasound while I'm at work but I'm too scared and it's not allowed anyway. I could get a colleague to do it, but again it's not allowed and it would put her in an awkward position if she found anything.... So now I'm just waiting................
