A Bad Day

Yoga:  nope
Other: therapy
Bloating:  9
Cramping:  2 (I only get crampy after I go. And I didn't go)
BM Satisfaction: 0 (see above)

Ugh, today sucked.  I was really gassy last night, not sure why, so I had trouble getting to sleep and was awake for much for the night.    I don't pass gas very easily, so it causes painful pressure and excruciating discomfort.   I am currently tapering off zopiclone, which was my sure-fire way to get a full sleep, regardless of the air content of my colon.   But in the past few days I have started tapering off that drug (while doubling my dose of amitryptiline) to see if the gradually the amitryptline alone can keep me sleeping.

I am also still fighting a little cold.  So when I got to work it hit me that I felt awful.   I left at noon for therapy and didn't come back.   Took a sleeping pill (yes,the ones I'm supposed to be tapering off) and slept 4 hours.  

Still feeling groggy from the pill, still feeling gassy.  And constipated.  And sore-throaty. Yeah, not really a top day today.
