I have been doing pretty well (at least for the last month or so) with my HA, but over the past 2 weeks I have been anxious about this feeling in my abdomen.
It started about 2 weeks ago and I thought it was related to my monthly time, but its not going away. Its like a dull and sometimes "sting-y" pain around my navel. I had an abdominal ultrasound in May and it came back clear so I don't think its anything like cancer, etc.
But the stinging pain feels like its more to the right, and everything I have read about appendicitis seems to say the same thing, it starts at your navel and migrates to the right.
I do have IBS, and I am trying to convince myself its just something with that or a BM, but my good friend had a burst appendix about 3 years ago and had to have emergency surgery and was sick for months afterwards and I am really starting to freak out about it.
The pain used to be only infrequent shock like pains, but today its been here for 20-30 minutes straight and its annoying and unnerving. Is this a symptom of IBS because I am not finding it anywhere.:wacko:
:doh:Sometimes I wish I didn't know so many people who had crazy things happening to them.
