Take pain in its stride
I am beginning to think my tolerance
of pain is unhealthy as I endure agony with a sense of normalcy that should be
anything but. At this point, this condition can only be considered congenital,
I have had it for as long as I can remember.
It is not chronic as to be an everyday
thing, it comes as an affliction that could last more than a day for which
there is little remedy I know of apart from copious amounts of sweet milky tea
and a good bed rest.
From about 3:00 AM this morning, I
have suffered waves of stomach/abdominal pain, sometimes it is quite severe, I
groan with a scrunched-up face, grabbing hold of my belly or just folding my
arms tightly over my midriff, to ease the discomfort.
Probably get this looked into
It usually subsides after a while and
it could be accompanied by a diarrhoeal situation or not, but today, nothing of
the sort accompanied it apart from an early afternoon feeling that I was about
to develop a fever and must have been anxiety than reality.
Lying on my back did bring some
comfort and then another wave of pain sweeps through almost like I am in an
endurance activity. Eventually, I took some paracetamol with codeine in the
hope that the waves of pain might be reduced in intensity.
As I wrote about this 16 years ago and
every few years this thing returns like with a vengeance, maybe it is just time
for have a battery of tests to properly understand why this thing rears its
ugly head so inconveniently to my utter discomfort and discomfiture, that I had
to cancel meetings than present myself to the scrutiny and concern of others
who might think it is a lot more serious than it seems.

I had similar symptoms a while back that turned out to be kidney stones. Get yourself checked out!
