I blame you all!Follow

So, for about the last month I'd been having some stomach pains pretty consistantly. Sometimes better, sometimes worse but almost always there and not seemingly dependant upon whether I was eating, sleeping, sitting, etc. Incidently, this led to the same conversation with about five different people.

Them: What's wrong?
Me: I've been having this pain right here for about a month.
Them: What is that there? Your appendix? Or maybe your gall bladder? Do you think it's your gall bladder?
Me: Yeah, they didn't really cover that when I was in college taking Studio Oil Painting 350.

So off I went to see a docotr who poked at me and prodded me and asked me questions about my bowel movements and finally decided that he thinks I have an ulcer. Then he gave me a prescription for Nexium and sent me away with a reminder to check back in a month.

So, anyway, normally I'd blame my work for giving me an ulcer. But then it occured to me that all I do at work is read you idiots babbling so I've decided to blame all of you. Alla, my lawyer will be contacting you shortly

As a side note, my insurance nixed the Nexium idea. So my doctor called to get them to cover some other medication and the insurance company said they'd really rather I just suffered and left them alone to count the money I keep paying them. So my trial month on Nexium has become a week a on over-the-counter Pepcid before they determine if it's helping or not and whether or not it really is an ulcer. If medication isn't helping, Plan B is to shove a camera down my throat and look around. So.. umm... Go, Plan A!

Ugh, sorry...those ulcers are no fun.

It's ok though. I still think you are totally jophed.

Dude, you know five people that aren't on t3h intran3t?!!11


Seriously, hope you don't have to have your stomach looked at. I had that happen to me when I was in elementary school. I DO NOT recommend it.

Huh? Of course not. I talked to them on IRC

Nah, I'm all about that. It's on the back burners 'til fall and, even then, I'm not too worried. What's she going to do... not like me? Tell her friends so people I don't know five hundred miles away won't like me either?

Really, I'm pretty much cool as a cucumber. 'Cept now I'm a cucumber with a hole in its stomach. So I'm cool as a cucumber with a bug larva chewing inside of it 'cause you didn't want to use chemical sprays on your garden. Can't get much cooler than that.

Jophed,

Consider taking a deep breath and try and resist the temptation to read any of my posts. That should fix you right up.

Puh-leeease.

Jophiel,

Maybe you have an earwig in your bowel. Tell your mom you're sick and can't come to work anymore.

I'm not a doctor...but I did stay at a (insert name of stupid hotel) last night.

Oh sh[i][/i]it! I take back my Nexium statement.

It was Protonix that pretty much cured me. 'Spensive tho.
