A certain old girlfriend thought I looked terrific when I was in the throes of an ulcerative colitis flareup about five years ago. I was thin, and she pointed out that my penis even looked larger, if only because my gut was ravaged and I was bleeding out the ass.

Best comment of the day. Totally cracking up. You need to make a short film out of that.

If that relationship hadn't been otherwise going down the tubes already, both she and I would have found the idea of a short film on that phase a fantastic idea.

I've been drinking half-caf for a while, but it turns out that it's not the caffeine that's an issue but the coffee bean itself (sad face). The good thing is that since it's not the caffeine, I've been drinking black tea for the past three days and it gives me some boost and doesn't cause any disastrous effects on my system. It makes me sad, though. Coffee was my last remaining vice!

Bacterial infections do spread, as you say, and can cause permanent tissue damage. (personal note - someone I know had to have surgery from complications)

No more learning your lesson the hard way.

Take excellent care of yourself - no suffering. Illness is a way of telling the body to sloooow down and rest.

Well, now that I'm actually feeling better (though still on antibiotics for quite a few more days), I realize how bad I really was, and probably harboring that infection for a long time. At least, when I sensed that it was "really bad," I got my ass into urgent care before I landed in the hospital. But damn, it was a bad one.

I'm taking care of myself. No more learning lessons the hard way. Promise!

Ack! So glad you are better. Do we all have this to look forward to? Coffee is one of my few daily pleasures. I suppose I go could tea, but, damn...

Well, I don't think this kind of thing happens to all women. Really, it was the fact that my metabolism was compromised by the coffee and then I workout so much, sweating all those buckets that did me in. But yeah, unfortunately, I think my coffee days are over. I'll try Bill's solution (when I'm 100% better) and see if that works. It's my only remaining vice, so it's kinda sad. I'm just glad to get this fucking infection under control. I still have many more days of antibiotics ahead of me. It sucketh.
