This Blog is an outlet for the random thoughts of an amateur opinionator.
What's an opinionator?
An opinionator is somebody who has power without responsibility, and the ability to spout off on any subject without worrying too much about the consequences of what comes out of the mouth. All you need is an opinion and the opportunity to voice it.
TV is full of professional opinionators. The internet gives the amateur his chance.

[3:18PM] My abdomen is severely aching as I write this. I’ve taken my meds already but the pain just won’t go. I haven’t sleep yet and just waiting for another hour, if the pain won’t subside I’ll be going back to my doctor. I have been suffering from severe lower abdominal pain for months now. I’m just diverting my attention now so as not to mind the pain. At times it is so bad I think I would rather just die. To date I have had the following tests and medications:
*CT sonography [which revealed bilateral whatever refering to kidney stones down my ureter]
*2 kinds of pain killer
*anti spasm meds
*urinalysis
*numerous blood tests
Along with the pain I have constipation, colds, and weight gain-despite RX laxatives and steady exercise. The pain hits me suddenly and fiercely at any time of day or night. There are no warnings, no predictors, no triggers.
Usually the pain lasts from anywhere to 1-4 hours, and that is AFTER taking the pain meds. Often, about halfway through the “attack”, I will vomit. However, nothing comes out except bile. Even if I have eaten recently.
At times the pain is so bad it makes it difficult for me to breathe or move. I have almost had wrecks when attacks hit. The pain is so sharp and with intense severity. The pain is centered almost directly under my navel, right in the center. It is always in the same place.
I don’t know what else to do, I was sure the last tests [CT sonograpgy and urinalysis] would show twisted intestines, appendicitis or something-but NOTHING.
I am very discouraged and cannot live like this. I’ll meet with my urologist soon to decide which tests to do next, but I think he is just as baffled as I am.
Uh, well I really don’t know what is in exaggeration here. If there is, then I don’t know what severe pain really is.
