It's been a while

First of, I am sorry to hear about your health problem Gizmo. I really wish you well. Secondly, I wholeheartedly agree with Cauz (I know that doesn't happen often ). Get your Hershey Highway (lol) checked, seriously!

You are way too effing young to be having this type of digestive problems.
The non-stop hunger could also be a tape worm or something along those lines. I am not a doctor but in any event get checked by multiple docs if you need to.
Also do not rely on those medications, actually find natural alternative. Again, as Cauz mentioned, the $$ is not in the cure, it is in the treatment so 90% (if not 100%) of the diseases out there can be cure and not necessarily with man-made drugs either.

Anything short of emergency medical treatment or surgery, can be treated by means of natural methods, herbs, etc.
Either way, I wish you the best! I hope you get your health back, if you are indeed going to get married soon, you will need it!

ttfn,

Thanks TL. Right now, I'm just trying to do all this without insurance, so anything that isn't immediately needed won't be done, I just can't afford it. Of course I make too much to qualify for Medicaid too...damn insurance companies, I can't afford personal insurance either, the $75/week is just WAY too much for me...I just can't do it.

I'm trying to find something that'll work for my stomach, but idk if I can find anything non-medicinal to take care of my issues...

Michael again congrats on your engagement, believe I sent those along before. Now for your health, do what the guys said. This really sounds serious to me, you are way too young to have these types of problems. Way too young. Know lack of insurance is awful, but look at it this way, you want to be here for Nicole don't you? Get things checked out and worry about it later.

Thanks again Judy!!

I have considered it, but last time I went in for this issue, my doctor, who is actually really good, knows the whole family history, and is the family doctor for not only me, but my 3 siblings, Mother, Father, and Grandma. He knows what runs in the family and I talked at length with him about this.

I just can't afford it at all...I've already been garnished once because insurance backed out on one of my visits for my throat, to the tune of $1800, and I'm in collections for another $150 in bills that they backed out of...

Procrastination and stubbornness runs in the family, and nobody has had any issues other than cancer...(big surprise there...)

I'm going to hold off as long as I can. My issues are easily controlled, I don't have many problems...but when I do, they are definitely there.

I'm trying to find something to use for my heartburn, and right now, it seems that Lipton's White Tea with Raspberry helps a bit. And they also say Pineapple will do good too...so we'll see.
