I've been awake since 5am.
It feels like there's a guinea pig getting rambunctious somewhere just under my ribs.
It feels like a hunger pang then turns into a sharp pain.
Also exhaustion.

Am I dying? (I am a hypochondric but in this instance I have been as accurate and not exaggeratey as I have ever been.)

No. You are not dying.
You are too fabulous to die.

Ever.

Thank you.
Is it an ulcer?
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 8:06, Reply)

Could be, yeah
That would be my first guess - depending on what you ate last night and whether you're a coeliac or anything like that

I ate healthily last night tbh
And how dare you suggest I'm a celeriac!

I hope for your sake that you're not
You'll have trouble getting anyone to eat you if so

Sorry Roota
But every day is one day closer to death.

Based on that, you are indeed dying.

Sorry, lar.
What not go to the Doctors and get yourself on the sick, lar? There might be some bennys in it for you?

We can only have appointments in about three weeks now.
And I'm not sitting at Drop-In feeling like this.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 8:11, Reply)

Give them a bell and tell them it's an emergency
They'll see you today.

Don't suffer in silence.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 8:13, Reply)

I might do that from work.

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 8:16, Reply)

And take the day off as a bonus
Sounds like a good plan to me.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 8:24, Reply)

Maybe you're hungry
Have you tried eating anythig?
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 9 Nov 2010, 8:09, Reply)

It's been like this since Sunday
It goes temporarily while I'm eating but the returns rapidly.
I eat a lot so that can't be the problem.
It's worse in bed. It's giving me nightmares.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 8:10, Reply)

Then I don't know
Maybe you should try not to eat anything for a little bit, see if that makes you feel better. I'd try a lemmon grass tea (they're fantastic for stomach pains), and failing that, the doctor.

I'm sipping boiled water.

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 8:13, Reply)

Without herbs on it?
I don't know if that will help...
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 9 Nov 2010, 8:14, Reply)

I also have the lurgy
But I just get on with it
( Maximinimus you stick around I'll make it worth your while, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 8:11, Reply)

Are you familiar with this stomach feeling though?
And I am getting on with it. Despite sleep-deprivation and pain, I'm going to go to work.
I'm lightheaded though. *sniff*
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 8:11, Reply)

When I had pain like that I thought I'd broken my ribs
Turns out I was just badly bruised, have you been tackled by some 20 stone flanker recently?
( Maximinimus you stick around I'll make it worth your while, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 8:16, Reply)

I don't recall this happening

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 8:17, Reply)

If your bowels are behaving normally, but you still have a pain,
Go to the quacks.

My bowels are never normal Bart

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 8:17, Reply)

Well, if you can function with the pain, then carry on.
Perhaps you sat on a cork and didn't notice.
