yup i has it and i hate it!

stress is a HUGE trigger - i can feel perfectly fine and something happen now to distress me and within 20 minutes i'm in trouble. DH has made a habit of letting me know where he's at with work and stuff cos if i try calling and can't get him for more than half an hour (generally overnight when i know he should be driving) i'm in terrible pain and needing to go.

i also find any fatty foods trigger an attack - and in particular, macca's nuggets!

i've found a low GI diet has helped a lot - i guess it's the eating of the whole foods rather than the processed crap. if i eat white bread instead of multigrain, i'm in trouble.

i kept a food diet for a while and found things like KFC or anything cooked in oil would trigger it - until KFC came out with their breast fillet pieces - so now i can still have a treat now and again! i am able to almost completely control it now with diet, and being pg, i haven't had a lot of the issues some have with constipation cos when i get uncomfy, i do the norty thing and have something bad to get stuff moving!


ooh, the other thing that triggered REALLY bad episodes was the Pregnyl shots with the IUI/IVF! i got the most horrific attacks - i'm guessing that i may have had a weird reaction to the progesterone level changing cos i'd get a flare everytime AF arrived, and then when pg, i had nasties for about four or five weeks... weird....
