i’m a big fan.

something is wrong.

For as long as I can remember I have these ‘episodes’ of extreme pain. When I was 18 I had the first one and I not knowing what it was I freaked out and went to the ER in an ambulance.

The only way to describe this pain is to say it’s like a contraction (labor pain) that lasts for about 15 minutes. It’s not a pain in my back or side. It’s RIGHT above my pelvis, RIGHT in the middle. Below my stomach.

During these episodes of pain I can’t move, I have to lay in the fetal position on my back, I sweat, I cry, I whine, I have a heating pad on and pain killers in me within SECONDS of it hitting.

I only get these once a year. I went to the doctor and he said it was a cyst exploding or something like that. I’ve grown use to them now.

A couple of nights ago I woke up out of a dead sleep at 4am in horrible pain. I was okay within twenty minutes and fell back to sleep with the heating pad on. The next morning I was still sore from it, but it wasn’t bad. Yesterday after lunch with my girlfriends I was sitting at Starbucks being a yuppie and it hit me again.
It didn’t help that I was wearing pants that were WAY too tight for me to be wearing. I started to panic and decided I needed to hurry up and get home.
I took a couple of pills (YES TOM, I TOOK PILLS! I TOOK PILLS AND THEY MADE IT ALL BETTER!) and rested and I was okay.

Today I was sitting here minding my own business and WHAMO, again! This is THREE in a week instead of ONCE in a year.

I have no medical insurance so it’s up to you guys…diagnose me!
