    I once had to lay down on the bathroom floor in a fetal position between rounds. Sweat was literally dripping. What a way to feel alive whilst expecting death!

      Not an MD, but that sounds like a problem you might want a doctor to look at. My partner of many years had terrible gallstones that were fairly debilitating. When it got to its worst and she started turning yellow, a few days before she had an episode like you described.

      Talk to your doctor about weird painful shits.

        I’ve had what was described above, like once every 3 to 5 years. Terrible pain lying on the floor in the middle of the night hoping for relief with each attempt. Then a generally miserable day and then all good for the next few years.

        By the time I’m at the doctor, nothing is wrong, so they just kind of shrug. Best they can do is guess that either it’s some random bad luck with some food or some stress reaction (half the time it’s at a place like a hotel, and I almost never go to hotels).

        Nah, it’s called “the Revenge from Beyond”, you get it from eating Beyond burgers (or similar)

          Uh I eat those all the time. I have never toilet-disrobed post-burger, but maybe post-long-run pre-burger? I think that has happened.

      Maybe a vasovagal reaction? Drink water and cross your legs while on the toilet, try not to push too hard.

      I’ve definitely had it bad enough that I had to lay in a cool bath between rounds. It sucks.
