my stomach hates me

so after being on nexium for 5 months i've realized that tomato products still give me hell.
sometimes i'm ok. sometimes.
but for the most part salsa and marinara sauce (my favourite things in the world) will cause me to double over in pain. i'll think i'm in the clear because 30 minutes after the meal i'll be laughing and talking like "finally, i ate a meal where i don't have to leave the restaurant and curl up in my bed and curse all food" but then the chills come and then the unfathomable stomach pains shoot from abdomen up to my neck and onto my back. my chest feels tight and breathing gets hard and it feels like someone punch me in the stomach, except with a laser gun...and a fist.
i've noticed that it's really only tomato based products that cause this pain. so i'm not going to complain too much about it because not eating tomato-ey food is easy. but i'm not going to stop eating it, because as i just mentioned, i love salsa and i love spaghetti. so if i get stomach pain then it's my own fault.

in other news. i am so unbearably, unnaturally tired today i'm afraid i have trypanosomiasis aka the African Sleeping Sickness. i'm never this tired, i mean... i'm always tired. but never this tired. never two cups of STRONG coffee and i'm still tired tired. never sleeping in until 9:45 after i went to bed at 11:15 tired.

and in other other news. i think my grandmother is doing a little better. i went by to see her yesterday and she is all drugged up on pain meds, etc. they think it's a bad bad bad muscle strain. so she might go home today or tomorrow. and she will get physical therapy and need someone to help her do things.

ok. i'm out because i need to either Eat or Sleep
