Crohn’s disease. My mom had this. Add to that I.B.S., and a new one: Kidney Stones.
Seriously?
From Wikipedia:
“Kidney stones are also more common in patients with Crohn’s disease”
That was news to me.
The doctor who helped me with my Immodium nightmare said that I might also have Kidney Stones. I forgot about that, until this morning. Wake up, go to the bathroom…la la la la CLANK la la la la.
What the hell!?!
When you wake up from a horrible night of “sleep” (3 hours is not “sleep” - that is a nap), go to the bathroom with unfocused eyes, and hear a clank, you become - well, how should we say this - alarmed.
Scratch Diet Coke off my menu from now on…dammit!
I’m off to make a little home for my painful little friend. Let’s hope he doesn’t invite any more friends. 
A bit off-topic: Some of you who email me about these blog entries (thanks, by the way - I enjoy the feedback) wonder how I can be, to quote some people, “fearless” in my postings. I have no idea. I’m just very honest. If I have an opinion, or a situation, I will discuss it without any censorship (other than the button at the top of the blog for viewing at work). I don’t look at it as having “no fear”. I just talk about what is affecting me, and hope it helps other people, be it fair use of Cable TV, suggestions for living with nightmares like MySpace, or health issues.
*o u c h*.
It’s annoying having to go to the bathroom every 5 mins but you will have to drink those 2 liters of water a day or your friends will come back, very likely.
Annoying, but less painful.
Take care, I know it’s a cliché but it’s the most important

Where did your friend go? Did it scare people?
Oh, well, I guess I’m just used to scary medical stuff.

Ow. I gotta ask, as someone with experience, you didn’t have any pain when it was (winces) coming out? Wow.
That’s quite a list of health issues you’ve got there. “Sorry” sounds stupid, but it’s all I got, so there it is. Drink more water!
I am so not clicking on that picture.
