Oh Cy, you are just what the doctor ordered... laughter!!

I can identify with what you are saying. So many strange and scary feelings and sensations. I used to be a bit more dramatic in my presentation: gasping for air, tachycardia, swooning and shaking. Now, I can pretty much hide these things (experience and practice). The only overt symptoms I have that might clue one in to my flare is that my face, neck and now (new thing) my left arm turn a blotchy red/purple. And I get that angry eye thing (remember the Fleetwood Mac song). . I have learned to lean onto something so that I don't tip over.

Such a lovely thing. I also have GI problems (gastroparesis and constipation or diarrhea).

Well, maybe I will try the "give me dilaudid or give me death" thing...
