Ugh.
I believe my late lunch is coming back to haunt me...
My side aches now...
So far, since I discovered that eating stops the pain, I haven't had any... full-blown attacks yet... Though anytime my meals become the slightest bit irregular, the aches comes back.
Aches are the first symptoms, or signs, or whatever you want to call them.
If I don't eat something FAST, the aches will soon turn into a cramp within a couple of hours. And by the time the 3rd or 4th hour arrives, I'd be in too much pain to do anything.
Heck, even painkillers don't work. If I'm lucky, they help knock me out. If not, God bless me.
The pain spreads across from my left lower abdomen, straight to my right. Then it spreads to the entire lower torso. Heck, I remembered doing my best to stop myself from screaming in pain before. Yes, it hurts that much. And no, I can't walk. The best I can do is hobble like some old grandma.
The pain mainly comes in waves. There would be about 10-15 minutes of excruciating pain. Like someone stabbed you with some drillgun and is drilling through your innards. Sharp, crippling pain. Those are the times I would be unable to keep silent about my pain.
After that pain, it ebbs. It never disappears. It just becomes more... tolerable. It becomes less sharp, but more throbbing. By then, as long as that sharp pain is not here, I will sigh with relief.
I have no idea what's the cause though. You could say it's my intestines, since eating helps in pain-relief. But I have never really went of a check-up, so I can't confirm it.
Yay... Had a biscuit. And now the ache is finally fading... It's always very scary to feel that ache in your side. It's like the pain is right behind it, as if it's saying that it's waiting for the moment I falter with my eating, and it would take me to Hell and back.
And now, every slight deviation of my eating pattern makes the ache act up... Like today, I had my usual 3 meals, if you discount my donut in class as my second breakfast. But my lunch was late. Like, 3.30-4pm kind of late. And now, my side acts up. It only acts up at night... But it's bad enough to make you want to panick.
Sigh... At this rate... I'm gonna die in China... Sigh... That pain in my side (literally) has been a "good friend" since secondary school... I doubt it's going to fade away anytime soon...
