Oh my Good Lord! I have had the worst night. I was sitting here around 10 o'clock when I got hit with a really rough stomach cramp and a sense of urgency. I took off for the bathroom at the far end of the house. Momentarily, the pain was overwhelming. Shortly I was completely sweat soaked. My face, my neck, under my arms, under my boobs, and all down across my lower abdomen. Just soaked, soaking my clothes and all. And the cramps kept coming. I kept mopping at the perspiration. i did it so much the Kleenex I was using began to disintegrate. And yet when I touched my forehead, it was cold and clammy to the touch as one often reads about. That's the first time I've ever experienced that. Finally, I was able to move to the bed where I lay shivering under the covers. I finally dozed off. I'm up now about an hour, making one return trip to the bathroom. I've managed a few sips of water, a gas-x pill, and I took an extra potassium. I guess if this could become a regular occurrence, I'd better lay in a small supply of Gatorade or something of that nature.
Anyway, thank goodness, the worst of it has passed and it looks like I will survive. If I never go through that again, it will be too soon.
