Ailment Thread

I'm sorry Tuffy.

I haven't even made it out of bed today. Head feels like a marshmallow. Blergh.

it's one thing if they decide to take something off the market, but shouldn't they at least have figured something else to wean these people onto before just cutting them off at the knees?

3 research papers due tomorrow are making me sick to my stomach on top of the headache they're giving me.

The good news: I'm not pregnant. (Not that I thought i was, but I like to think of it as my monthly good news)

The bad news: my fucking uterus is killing me.

contusio ludo stulto: a bruise resulting from horse play

contusio indicans: a bruise that betrays a secret

contusio vanidici mali: a bruise from voicing untruths in an unconvincing fashion.

contusio existentialis: a bruise created throughout the flesh by the daily pummeling of existence.

'Attsa lotta hickeys!

"atsa spicey braincloud!"

JC, obiesly.

The Man in Black and Blue.

This this, all of this. I'm miserable. Why can't I ever have a nice period?

My head is slightly warm and I sneezed a couple times today... i'm hoping its allergies and that i'm not getting sick

I read this thread and I don't miss my uterus at all.

Ailment #1 - Leg cramp in left calf muscle. Feels like a stab wound.

Ailment #2 - Nose hurts. Early this morning, Dr. Croutons decides she wants to throw her head back into my face.

I've had the flu since Monday. I've been bedridden.

I had a feeling I was gonna get sick but I've been combating it with drugs, water and lots of sleep. We'll see how I wake up tomorrow.

I've had a cold all week and I blame Pål Martin.

If you've seen then picture thread you know I ripped my hand open last night. I won't post the picture again, but I will say it fucking hurts like hell.

It's just horrible des, I hope it heals up soon.

I'd post a picture of my injury from two days ago, but it is in a much less flatering place than the palm of my hand. My knee has been all tight and cramped up for half the week, I was up on a chair hanging a picture and when I went to get down my knee seized up and I ended falling off backwards and landing on the vacuum which I hadn't put away yet. I ended up with a purple bruise the size of a dollar bill on my backside. I just love getting old.

My hand/wrist has been hurting all day. Feels like a pulled nerve Or maybe I'm feeling Des' pain.

I didn't even think it was possible, but I've developed a 3rd hernia. My guts are awesome.

I knew someone who had seven or more.

My back still hurts from having to fish a bag of new clothes out of the trash compactor with a 50 lb. pole while standing on a 1 inch piece of metal inside the compactor. My son threw it in with the trash. I kept thinking about that scene from Return of the Jedi when the big hole with teeth tried to swallow them.

The one from A New Hope where the were inside a huge trash compacter seems more appropriate.

It feels like I've been punched in the face. My eyes are puffy and swollen and I'm congested from crying like a pathetic baby on my friday evening out. I think I just need to get some sleep.

Wha' happen, Jaz?

Also, it occurred to me the other day that I am past my Darvocet withdrawals. I now have codeine* withdrawals to look forward to when they yank that off the market. I have - again - been refused the transdermal patch, btw.

* Less effective for me, but more nastily addictive.

I've just been having a rough time at home/with life and I basically had a meltdown at Johnny Rockets with my mom. I don't think I've ever been sooo upset so quickly before. Anyway that little moment that I was trying to move past ended up being a couple hour purging of past bullshit as to why I had a moment. It was all very pathetic crying for two hours in front of Blockbuster telling my mother my life's story of issues. It felt good to get 20 years of suppressed bullshit out though but it just left my face a wreck.

POIDH

Oh Derek you'll get an even worse after math pic if I took one right now. I just woke up and I didn't take my make up off last night. I look like trash

POIDH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where's the Bed Head Thread?

Awesome.

That's... bad? I'm sorry, hun, but that looks better than most of my "Good" ones. About the only thing wrong with that pic is the expression on your face.

I too was expecting an actual bad picture, pfffffff.

Those patches are bad news... sent my mom into a three month coma with complete liver failure. Codeine withdrawls are a bitch, but not as bad as Darvocet I'd imagine.

Xanex withdrawls for me was pretty gnarly, felt like I was in Trainspotting.

I've been having some stomach issues that have me worried.

In the last few weeks, maybe over a month, I've been having those little pains in my lower abdomen, sometimes on the right, sometimes on the left.

Right now the left side of my belly button feels weird. I think it has something to do with my appendix. I'm going to make some calls in the morning.

My stomach feels hard when I'm upright, but squishy when I lie down. I know that's probably because of gravity and may be normal but it just doesn't feel right.

I'm also having back problems from sitting on my bed all the time. I'm going to buy a computer chair and use that instead from now on. Hopefully that does something.

hope it's nothing serious justin.

I'm feeling kinda nauseous right now, that is all.

(And no I'm not pregnant because that would involve sex)

I keep thinking I have appendicitis but from what I've read if I really did have that I'd be doubled-over in pain. Just about none of the normal symptoms fit. Right now it's just a slight discomfort.

Of course I'm having a tough time convincing myself it's not that and that's it's probably nothing serious. I'm a hypochondriac so right now my mind is screaming at me "YOU'RE DYING! YOU DEFINITELY HAVE APPENDICITIS! EVERYTHING YOU'VE READ IS WRONG! GO TO A HOSPITAL NOW!" I may do that in the morning if it doesn't go away.

On a completely unrelated note, is it normal to vomit after drinking a lot of water at one time?

I first read this as Penises instead of Pains.

As for the rest, I hope you feel better (is this an old post? I'm just catching up on the thread) If you really suspect it is your apendix you should have it checked out just to be on the safe side. Better to be told it is constipation or a pulled mucsle than wake up dead in the morning. <- Waking up dead in the morning is an official doctor term, it is what the surgeon told my sister would have happened if she hadn't brought herself in to the ER.

You don't have to be in that much pain. My mom had appendicitis, and it felt like a stomach ache to her which lasted several days. She eventually went to the doctor and they sent her to the hospital to get surgery.

It's not even a stomach ache really. It's barely even there anymore.

I'm still going to make some doctors appointments though.

I had a wisdom tooth taken out yesterday along with a couple fillings done. The actual spot of extraction doesn't hurt that much. It's all the spots where I was injected with numbing agents that are killing me. I'm trying to take it easy on the Vicodin because it just makes me sleepy.

Really looking forward to my first smoke. It's been close to 24 hours without one.

ibuprofen should help with the swelling/pain and not get you as sleepy if it's still hurting.

This sounds like the same issues I had a couple of years ago--while painful (I would actually double over from time-to-time) it turned out to be nothing major. It's an ongoing condition that gets worse if you worry about it. No kidding. So relax and I hope you feel better.

I've been laid up for a week with some sort of pulled muscle in my back. All I did was roll over wrong while playing on the floor with my 19-month-old. Now I can't sit too long, lift stuff, lie down too quick and my back spasms often.

I checked the internet on why this happened--the majority of sites told me that I need to get in shape (I normally run three miles every morning and do a second work-out on week nights). No help. Instead, I've been taking four-year-old Vicodin so I can sleep at nights. This sucks.

NOOOO! Don't do it dude... wait until you're healed. Dry socket is a fucking bastard of an ailment.

Justin, the first question the doctor is going to ask you is when was the last time you took a shit and how often do you do so. The majority of the time stomach pain is linked to shit.
