So basically, any time I have a stomach ache I used to thing "omg omg omg omg omgo mg omg v* argh" and get myself worked up about it and have a Halls or a Rennie or whatever. The minute I have a stomach ache, in a Halls goes.
Anyhow, today, I had been feeling kinda "aftershock stress" after a Thinking Skills AS Level exam yesterday which was horrible. And whenever I get stressed sometimes I get d*. (That is how we spell it or w/e, right?)
Anyhow, my stomach was cramping today, which hurt and made me feel a little bit n*, so I panicked a little. What if I were to v*? omg omgom gomgo mg panic again.
Then after reading this site and the treatment and other stuff I thought "No, just because I have a stomach ache I'm not gonna v*. I know it feels horrible but I won't v* since I'd probably only v* if I had ultra n* and/or was feverish and ill, etc." I took a rennie since it felt a bit acidy anyhow.
I took my mother's advice of taking a painkiller (1g of Paracetomol, fact fans) and the cramps only re-appeared later on after lunch, like once and then they were gone for the rest of the day.
But I can't believe I actually had a stomach cramp (which made me a bit blargh, not quite n* but not far away from it either) but I knew I wasn't going to v*. For me that's quite a step forward since the first sign of a stomach ache would send me reaching for something.
