That's exactly the diagnosis she's got now, but apparently it's common, and especially common in those who lived overseas. The doctor's kind of like, well, we can't find anything else, so *throws up hands*, let's try this. And she's understandably less than thrilled with that.
Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

[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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I can certainly see her point, Dana. I hope you find someone who has a better line on what's wrong and how to treat it.
Yes, Ginger, it was the diagnostic consult. Details are here.
It wasn't as bad as I'd dreaded, so thank you guys for the ~ma. I get bloodwork tomorrow, and see her on Monday, when she'll decide if she needs the spinal x-ray before she can treat. It seems weird to have a spinal x-ray to treat an eye problem, but there you go.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Okay, I guess the Rx makes more sense then, except I would think there'd be a test for the bacteria so that you'd only treat if it was a known infection, not just in case. A friend had an ulcer a few years back and said that the treatment took surprisingly long and required changes to diet, etc, as well as the antibiotics.

There is a blood test for H. pylori. And I also think they will send a scope down into your gut for a more accurate biopsy.

The scope showed nothing wrong.

I think my doc's expertise is in women's health not gastro issues, but her name is Sharon Orrange.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
No monsters, Beverly!

Always Anti-fascist!
Look, I know people are more than their jobs, and I know that from an economic standpoint I'm not, like, "Catch!1" but I'm not wrong for not paying further attention to a dude with a. a poorly-written profile and 2. a job writing reverse mortgages, right? (sorry to involve y'all, but my mother's so over dating the only advice she has is that it's not worth it. Which I get, but *she* not *we* got divorced, right? Someday, I want someone in my life That Way) I'm sorry, but I think that's a scam and since he doesn't look like Neal Caffrey? Gross. I think OkCupid has washed its algorhythm of me.
