crap, huh?
Some of you know that I've been dealing with gas pains on and off for the past few months. Or, I've been assuming they were gas pains. My allergist suggested it could be acid reflux, so I tried some Prilosec, but that only seemed to help in the short term.

So, today, I found a walk-in clinic and finally saw a doctor specifically about that issue. It was a long morning. They did abdominal x-rays and took blood from both arms. (She didn't get enough from one, but didn't realize until AFTER she'd pulled the needle out, so she stuck the other to get more.) Funtimes, funtimes. The good news is that she doesn't think there's anything seriously wrong, though we won't have the results on the metabolic workup (liver, gall bladder, etc) for a few days.

There's a lot of constipation showing in my x-rays, which is odd, because I haven't felt constipated. I also don't recall having been pooping a LOT lately. She'd advised me to work more fiber into my diet and take some Metamucil to see if that helps. If it doesn't, I'll need to make an appointment with a GI doctor to get some more tests done and see what's going on.

On another note, Metamucil is GROSS. It doesn't dissolve right and it turns into this sludge that I can't even begin to stomach. I'm going to try getting the caps, because even if I have to take several a day, those have to be better than trying to drink that crap.

Whatever it is, I'd like for it to go away. ANd having to deal with RP drama on top of this? Yeah... I'm taking a break from that shit. You know when you can't read your RP flist without wanting to either quit, drop one of your absolute favorite characters ever, or stab half the members of the game, it's time to take a break from it all.
