Omgosh! Are you okay? That sounds horrible!
I’m fine (relatively speaking). I’ve had them before, but not recently and not this severe, and I had a friend swing by on her way home from work this afternoon “to make sure you’re not dead.” ;D
They’re scary because we don’t talk about them much and it’s hard to recognize what’s happening (if it had been on the opposite side I would have sworn it was appendicitis), but I am curious now. I’ve noticed twice now that when they’re coming on, when the pain is still at “mild discomfort that could be digestive” and not “oh god I’m dying,” I suddenly get really cold. Like, I will never be warm again, nope, heating pads under blankets aren’t doing it, have to jump into a hot bath for half an hour. Last time it was in February in a house without decent insulation or heat so I didn’t think about it much, but for it to happen in June is just weird, and it’s not on the list of symptoms in any resource I can find. I’m wondering if anyone else who gets hemorrhagic cysts has ever noticed anything like that.
