Kalshane, my mom had the same problem. The pain was so intense she went to the hospital thinking it was a heart attack. This was in her 40s. She lived to 78 with minor diet changes and prescription strength antacids, and she died from something completely unrelated. I hope things turn out to be easily manageable for you, too.
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

Things I should do today: get the motorcycle registered, vote, write 2-3 blog posts, create the handout for the workshop on Friday, clean the litter box.
Things I want to do today: nap. Play Witcher 3.
Things I am going to do today: sit with a professor who smells of cigarettes and try to get him to do what he said he would.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Kalshane, I hope this is the start of a good treatment plan for you.
This I actually have seen—more than one minor pro hockey player delaying their return home to Canada so they could get medical care under their US doctors. May have been something about familiarity with the team's doctors though.
It probably has more to do with continuity of care, especially if the reason for the doctor's visits is the result of playing the game. Many organizations will not clear a player to play unless they are/were under treatment by team physicians.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The Final Jeopardy answer last night was "echidna" and I got it right by knowing it's one of only two mammals that lay eggs (and Platypus was not a Greek goddess). So thanks, billytea, for the echidna knowledge I've gathered over the years.
Coffee and a chocolate bar, breakfast of... not champions, really, more the guy who cleans up after champions.
Volans, I share your exasperation with jerkface academics this morning.

I don't wanna work at all today. I just want to snuggle the puppy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was watching that going, "Platypus, platypus -- how is platypus Greek?? But it's platypus -- NO IT'S ECHIDNA!!!!"
I'm having one of those days where I hope maybe I am getting a cold so I can stay home and lie on the sofa all day.

This is what I'm going with. The rest of Chez Volans have been down with colds for two days so it's plausible. After I finish forcing Dr. Jerkface to actually do something I'm retreating to a sofa and blanket.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Platypus, platypus -- how is platypus Greek?? But it's platypus -- NO IT'S ECHIDNA!!!!
I think I could reach enlightenment using this as my mantra. Koan. Whichever.
I was feeling icky Monday night and was hoping I would feel equally bad Tuesday morning because clearly that would mean I should stay home and curl up on the couch all day, but no such luck.
