new diagnosis

lately i just feel like i have no words...and im not sure why...

it's sad when you find out you have something wrong with you, but you're really excited because it's quasi-normal and treatable. of course, there's no cure for ibs, but the dr put me on medicine and im supposed to go back in 4 weeks and let him know how it's goin. this past weekend was the 3rd time in about a month that i was in so much pain that i couldn't do anything. have you ever seen the movie braveheart (which is the best movie ever, btw)? ya know what they do to him in the end? yeah...id imagine it felt something like this. so i called my dr once i got feeling a little bit better, and had an appointment on monday, and they said that it looked like ibs...

actually...im just glad to know what's wrong. i just really hope that i wasnt misdiagnosed and it turns out to be something much bigger and scarier than what they diagnosed me with in the first place...which is kinda a pattern in my medical history.

anyway...i gotta go to class, but i thought i'd update, especially since my cell phone died and i havent been able to call anyone to let them know what's goin on...

may you have peace and lots of fibre...
