Hi All,
I mentioned this at the bottom of another post, but I'm really curious so I'm giving my Q it's own post. Has anyone experienced that pain, injury, or illness activates or enhances your symptoms?
I did a really stupid thing yesterday. I thought a big meal with a chocolate chaser would calm me, and maybe help me not feel so tired. Instead, I got a horrible stomach ache! Now, I should have seen that coming. But what I did not expect is as the pain in my stomach increased, so did the intensity of many of my symptoms. It was one of the more frightening experiences I've had with this (whatever this is, as I am not diagnosed). I considered caling an ambulance, but instead took some Pepto and waited a bit. Thankfully, as my stomach calmed down, my symptoms returned to their normal level.
Just wondering if ppl had similar experiences? Not with the exact same trigger, but in general, if some physical trauma or injury could set off symptoms? It doesn't sound all that unlikely, since I know stress can aggravate symptoms. Thanks to anyone who can share a similar experience or help me understand why this happened?
