People... People who need functioning gastrointestinal systems... Aren't the luckiest people
First off, I know it's not normal for people to vomit blood, especially people who are generally completely incapable of vomitting. People who haven't vomitted since they were 11 years old at summer camp and Doug Lagally pushed them on a swing in ever increasing circles and then let it spin back again until their equilibriums were so off kilter

what you really need is a sympathetic, human doctor to sort you out. i will buy you one if necessary, or maybe there is one in this list: http://www.ccfa.org/physician/?rm=do_search&isNew=yes&phy_name=&state_code1=&state_code2=&state_code3=&state_code4=&zip_code=11211&radius_val=5&phy_specialty=&x=43&y=7
love you people. i don't mean to oversimplify. sorry please.

actually, at some point or another, most cases kind of require some sort of surgery... and I've already had one operation (in November, on my esophagus) that was merely sorting out a complication from the Crohn's...

And my new apartment has a bathroom that will at least make suffering a lovelier experience...
People miss you. When are you coming back?
