better

[piranha]

the weird pain isn't completely gone, but it's much better; no longer sharp and biting, and i can now sit in front of the computer again, yay. and turn without grimacing when the paramour sneaks up behind me. good. i didn't really want to go to the doctor today. not that i wouldn't, if i really felt something serious were wrong. i would. i know some of you doubt that, but i've always managed to get myself to the emergency room when there was a reason; i do have a decent sense of when i could get dead otherwise.

apparently yesterday was a really lousy day for several people on my flist. i am sorry. *hugs*.


mt st helens doesn't seem to be erupting at the time i am writing this: volcano cam thanks to sunnie.

it is daytime, and i am UP! i don't know whether it will last, but i am determined to enjoy it while it's happening. well, quiet enjoyment, since the pain is still present. maybe apache2 and i will form a meaningful relationship today. i did some abuse cases on an anemic board earlier, and actually did not have to lie down between writing the reply and approving it.

Is the pain more in the muscles, or in the stomach etc. itself? If the latter, have you tried taking antacids? I can get bad abdominal pain from stomach acid just from stress, although usually I've also taken aspirin or some medication that helps it along. If antacids don't help but it isn't muscular, you probably should see a gastro-enterologist. At least s/he could rule out anything serious, and could easily treat something like an ulcer.

the pain isn't in the stomach area at all, but in the lower left quadrant -- basically there are just intestines there, and muscles. i now think it's got to be muscle pain, and who knows what i dreamt about to get them that uptight, because it sure wasn't anything that i did while awake.
