Teppy, looking at your link, that sounds exactly like what happened to my hand last year. Only the doctor (actually, it was a PA) didn't seem to recognize it. They took x-rays, but since nothing showed up, she shrugged it off. It took nearly a year for it to settle down. I wish I'd pushed a little harder on that.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I wish I'd pushed a little harder on that.
I'm relentless when I'm sick. Fortunately, I also have a doctor who (1) is really good, and (b) always listens closely to me and takes my self-described symptoms seriously.
There is nothing more frustrating than a doctor who won't listen/help when you're legitimately goddamn sick, you know?

Very true. Maybe today was good doctor day. K-Bug saw her oncologist for her annual histiocytosis checkup. Ok, so it has been two years this time, but she has had the same doc since she was diagnosed 16 years ago. Dr. B is fantastic and has a son K-Bug's age, so we always spend half the time just comparing kid notes before even getting into the real medical stuff. She must have had a light schedule today cause she talked with us for almost an hour, going over life and medical - offering ideas for health in college and good eating and lots of other things. A funny fact - her son is going into the same major as K-Bug with the same interest in Sports Medicine. Dr. B also told K-Bug that she could call if she has a medical question and isn't sure who else to go to - even if it isn't directly related to the histiocytosis.

Portland, where they issue the flannel, Birks, golden retriever, and Subaru at the border?
Ruh roh.
I don't own any Birks. Are Merrill's precariously close?

Not that I've had recent experience with this, or anything.

Yeah, I think Merrills are the more recent version. And you're allowed to have a hybrid instead of a Subaru. Or eschew the car entirely and only have a bike....

What's the one where you get a swollen spot on your wrist and then someone has to smack your wrist hard with a bible to make it pop and it's got a name somehow related to that? That one always made me kinda laugh, until I had to smack a friend really hard with a book (not a Bible, though) because she had that and didn't want to pay for the doctor to do it.

That's a ganglion cyst.
eta: Wikipedia tells me it is sometimes called a Bible Bump, or Gideon's Disease.
