    I'm not sure what to say to you sick guys, saying "I'm sorry" sounds empty and pathetic, even though I am sorry and feel its awful, it just seems empty to say over the internet. It the kind of thing you say accompanied with a big hug.

    My oncologist DID say that there was an experimental procedure that involved viewing boudoir photos of a pale young british girl.


    Sadly I don't have any of those around here.....

    I'm a long-time lurker here and I was diagnosed with Crohn's in late November. I'm uninsured at the moment and praying that my Crohn's gets more under control in the next few months. That said, reading Munkus's stories/stories of people on Crohn's forums terrifies the shit out of me. My GI sounds optimistic and pretty calm about things, but I'm worried that I'll just start deteriorating and have to get tons of surgery to no good effect.

    What you need to understand, New Guy, is that bad shit (ha!) happens to Munkus. Honestly, one of the best things you can do for your health and sanity is to listen to your doc and try to keep your wits about you. You're uninsured (as am I) and going flying off the handle isn't going to do you any good.

    Also, stick around and post some. I think you'll find that in cases like this we're a rather "chin up and walk it off, pussy" kind of crowd.

    I have IBS. But it is nothing compared to what I've just read.

    Just wow.

    I hope that you all get the best possible outcomes for your respective situations.

    Yeah, I've lurked for like six or so years so I'm aware that Munkus exists in a bad luck vacuum. I had symptoms for like a year before I went in to the hospital and I was in a pretty bad way. At least now I have a diagnosis and a path to getting better as opposed to how I had been. All severely anemic and miserably depressed. I'm feeling tons better already, but things like my medication making my hair fall out can be temporarily distressing.

    My situation: I'm probably afflicted with the funniest long term illness of all. They doctors still haven't found another case like it, so I've taken to calling it Chronic Blue Ball Syndrome. I get a dull ache in the tubing going from my sac into my body most of the time, but on occasion, it flares up so bad I cannot stand. The pain was the direct cause of me getting sent home from boot camp because I couple not stand watch.

    There were thoughts that it was a symptom of my varicocele or hydroceles, that was debunked. They found a tiny growth on the right one, but it's literally too small to be causing these problems. I had surgery to correct the varicocele, and while I would like to think the flareups are getting better, it's probably about the same.

    Outlook: Eh. I mean, the flare-ups are few and far between, normally, and I've learned to live with the lower levels of pain. At some point, when I'm in a more stable living situation, I'll see if we can pin down what the hell is causing it, so that at least other cases like it can maybe be helped.

    Until then, I live a life of constant nutshots.

    Edit: Stale and Munkus are ridiculous and I have mentioned that both are inspirations to me in the past. I would like to do so again.

    Stale, Munkus, my hat is off to you both for living with what you do. I know other people who have chronic conditions, including Crohns, and those who have had random organs removed, but none compares to y'all. It especially puts it in perspective when I go "yeah when I'm 70 I'll have worse balance than other 70 year olds, so what?"

    Really, it just makes me wish I would have started lurking/posting on these forums earlier than I did.

    Besides, we all know Stale's a Terminator, not a Voldemort.

    Type 1 diabetes really sucks. But after knowing Munkus and Stale long enough I know things could be a lot worse.

    Stale would be a way better dark wizard than that Voldemort baby.

    Can we talk about other people in here? Because I am seeing my baby cousin this weekend. He had heart surgery. He's 3 years old and it isn't his first and wont be his last. After the heart surgery he had to be resuscitated 3 times, thankfully he is doing better now but he'll never really be 'healthy'.
