Haha! Your body is as fucked up as mine! Thanks for adding me, by the way. [grin] Blue Meany - website of choice 2005-07-22 14:28:59

Clicked on your banner... that was a pretty funny entry, me likes! Will come back and read more soon (must eat now) Emma - website of choice 2005-07-22 15:13:46

oh the joys of IBS. I have leg twitches but the the RLS you speak of and I just found out a friend of mine has. how human anatomy befuddles us. artgnome - website of choice 2005-07-22 15:29:22

Blue Meany - so, can I do you when you get back from Iraq? Emma - please don't tell me what you're having. My digestive tract acts up even when people talk about food. artgnome - what kind of name is Irritable Bowel Syndrome, anyway? It makes it sound so innocuous, as if it's just a matter of my bowel having gotten up on the wrong side of the bed. Oh, don't you mind that bowel, Mildred - it's just being irritable.

While you clearly aren't having fun with all your various problems, you do find it in you to write about them, and I find that I laugh at the way it's written, so I suppose everyone's happy? *I apologize for the lameness of the above comment, I tried to come up with a snappy one. Really. I wanted to have something witty, and it just didn't work. Qu'est que c'est? - website of choice 2005-07-22 16:51:38

Just so you know, a friend of mine had IBS, and when he started taking prescriptions for it, his heartburn problems went away. Colleen - website of choice 2005-07-22 18:17:47

IBS is just that - a syndrome, not a disease. It's given to any group of similar symptoms that have no known cause. Some types of IBS have medications to treat them; most don't. Mine doesn't. That's just how shit works. Smoog - website of choice 2005-07-22 18:24:05

your skin should soon forgive you for the pill. but don't ever switch your pill! or it will start all over again. the first couple of months i started the pill, it was like a direct return to my awkward teen years. and i was getting breakouts in places i didn't even realize i had skin! *blech* but then the force kicked in and balance was restored and me and skin like each other again. pumpkin queen - website of choice 2005-07-22 18:41:55

Oh, I have no intention of taking the pill past the next month or two. After that I'll be pursuing a more permanent and less hormonal solution. Die, fertility, die! *stabstab* Smoog - website of choice 2005-07-22 18:45:23

Brilliant! I think I need to touch base with my body parts... you and I share the same age and I like the example you have set of a straight-forward, get-to-know-you session. Brilliant. Polonius - website of choice 2005-07-22 19:33:04

You already know which are my favorite bits, not all of which are mentioned here. Of course, they'll require extra attention just to soothe their feelings. *scribble scribble* Listmania - website of choice 2005-07-23 00:19:09

Oh my. Just give me a second, lover - I'm sure I can come up with all kinds of other bits that require soothing. Repeated soothing. Mucho repeated soothing. *fanfanfan* Smoog - website of choice 2005-07-23 00:34:38
