In which I whine about ailments like an old person

Feb 11, 2010 01:18

I have not been feeling stressed. Sometimes things will be stressful, but I rarely feel particularly stressed. Maybe this is a bad thing.

For the past few days I've been feeling nauseous most of the time. There are other little symptoms. I was pretty angry earlier, but that was mostly from being hungry. I started eating again, screw you nausea.

So the health services doctor told me I've got hyper-acidity. Sounds like one of the diseases they make up to sell drugs. However, if drugs will make the acid go away, I will buy and take them. She prescribed me a dosage that doesn't exist so I need to get a new one, preferably one insurance will cover.

But why? Why was this happening? I'd never had such long lasting stomach trouble. It could be bacterial, it could be familial, but the first thing she mentioned was it could be stress induced. What stress? My next question was if it could be recurring, and she looked oddly shamefaced while she admitted it could be.

Thing is I already have one recurring stress induced physical problem. Sometimes I have sudden, sharp pains near (but unrelated to) my heart. They vary in severity but never last long. It's an inflamed chest wall, can be stress induced. I know from personal experience that it is recurring.

So I feel like I'm collecting these issues. Two is hardly a collection, but it's a start.
To psychoanalyze myself for a moment, it would seem my body suffers despite my refusal to get stressed out. BOO. Alternatively these things aren't stress related in me.

I'll just take some deep breaths and make sure to avoid or get rid of, not simply repress, stress.
