Jayne, your mouth is talking. You might wanna look to that.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Happy birthday, Andi!

I'm working on an extended, low-level sleep dep.—five hours a night for several nights in a row. Sort of like grad school or parenthood, but with fewer bodily fluids involved. It's sort of like the world is on the other side of an invisible wad of cotton wool.

I slept just fine, but I woke up with a headache, anyway. That just doesn't seem fair. It used to mean I'd been grinding my teeth in the night, but since I had the one tooth pulled it hasn't been a problem. WTF body?

Ann, that's a ferret.

Happy Birthday, Andi!

See what headaches do? They make you overlook the obvious. ::grumblegrumble::

Same insomnia, bonus two cats and a pimp hat.

Ahahaha!

Teppy, I think I need to look into IBS, because the kind of symptoms you have are what I have. I don't understand why on earth no doctor I've talked to has even brought that up, though.

Happy birthday, beautiful Windsparrow!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Happy Birthday, WS. I hope you have a wonderful day.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I have wished Andi Happy Birthday in person, given her a card, presents, and now she's happily napping with two kitties before work.

My job is done.

Well, not really, but it's off to a good start.

And I think I can join in here, to say

Happy Birthday Andi!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Happy Birthday, Andi!

Happy Anniversary, Roe v Wade!

Teppy, I think I need to look into IBS, because the kind of symptoms you have are what I have. I don't understand why on earth no doctor I've talked to has even brought that up, though.

My pain is located so low in my abdomen that when it all started in 2008, I thought it was an ovarian cyst. It felt like menstrual cramps (and still reminds me of that).

I'm lucky that my doctor is awesome, because when I called him in pain on a Saturday morning, he pegged it right away.

The good part is that, unlike Crohn's disease, IBS doesn't progress to cancer or anything else. The bad part is that it doesn't seem to have a "cure" as much as careful management. But my understanding is that careful management can get people symptom-free for a long time.

Anyway, if you have any questions, I've done so much research on IBS that I feel like I could write a book on it. Feel free to ask me, here or in e-mail, if you want to know anything.

signed,
will talk about her GI tract endlessly, and aren't you all thrilled about that?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Happy birthday, Andi!
