Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

I do usually feel extra burpy/gassy when I get like this, so I am eyeing lactose and/or gluten as the culprit. Plus that's less disconcerting than the other possibilities.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Sean, Epic is right, a food journal is definitely a good idea. Feeling too full could definitely be a reaction to lactose. I hope you can figure it out and feel better soon.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I hope you can figure it out and feel much better soon, Sean. That's worrying.

Wow Cass, I am just checking in and skipped a bunch, but you're moving back to San Diego? I can see that, but also a big change. When would you move?

Actually out to the desert. In three weeks. The desert is close enough to see my dad once or twice a week and far enough away I might have spoons. Maybe. And it's near my mom.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Try going dairy-free (or dairy-light) for a day or two if you can. That was actually how I figured it out - I had a day where I DIDN'T feel sick and that was unusual enough that I went, "Hey, what's different today?" Anyway, good luck.

Happy birthday, Seska.

Why am I so sleepy?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

And it's not quite nausea. More like feeling too full.

Feeling full, a slight cough, feeling a lump in your throat, tightness in your chest... those can all be acid reflux symptoms. I dropped 10 lbs in a month without realizing it because I didn't know I had acid reflux.

There was more, but I forgotted.

Oh! Happy birthday, Seska! Glad to hear things are going well for you.

You mean stress isn't the normal state for humans?

According to what my therapist said just today, no. Huh, wacky.

Sean, it does sound like the sort of symptoms Pete gets with acid reflux.
