I have just had a wonderful holiday in Cyprus but the journey home was
like the trip from hell. I thought, after 7 years that I understood
what triggered an attack and have avoided those foods. I am beginning
to think that food has nothing to do with it because I get the attacks
regardless of my diet.
The day before we were due to return home was uneventful. Went out for
a meal and all I had was a mushroom starter. Harmless enough you would
think but the following day I got the familiar gripy pains. I had to
endure 3 hours at the airport and then a 5+ hour flight with the pains.
My doctor has prescribed anti spasmodics, analgesia, anti-depressants
and anti emetics. Nothing works and I wonder if life is worth it with a
future of agonising pains to look forward to every day. I sometimes
think that the only light at the end of the tunnel is that the pains
don't last forever and I do get a break from them.Sorry if this sounds
like a self pitying rant but I know you will all understand what I am
feeling and it's good to share, isn't it?
