Sorry to hear Nocturnal was a bummer, again, Ms D, but more importantly I hope LB continues to recover. My Mom's dog got stung on the snout a few weeks back--swelled up more than double. She took the woofman to the vet who told her dog, like people, can be allergic to stings and like people can go into shock & die. He's a tough bugger though (I imagine LB is too), and after a shot, a course of antihistamines & steroids he's recovered. I can empathize a bit though (I was very anxious about him--I did not know a dog's snout could swell that much or that fast).

Funny ...I started college as a bio major (took AP bio in HS, chem, physics; took trig between my HS Jr. & Sr. years at the junior college, passed them all), and wound up switching to social & behavioral sciences. Nowadays math kicks my butt, but I'm an arrogant cuss who still does long division just to prove I can (mostly to myself now though, lol!). Who knows where you'll wind up? Just enjoy the ride & the learning I say! I like that you're varying the scope of your classes. By the time I was in my last undergrad year I felt soooo rushed and like I'd missed out on so much (the classes I wanted to take, but didn't because they didn't "add to" my major or minor but which would, I'm sure, have been amazing fun and taught me as much as any prereq, GE or core ...).

Skipping back, the house reference from several weeks ago now was the Rebecca Nurse house in Salem. I was pretty sure I was being obtuse then--reading back, who would get that reference? Not I.

Cheers!

Danielle you need to get the the DR. ASAP. the pain you describe could be a lot of things or it could be simple but in my experience as a medic if i came to you on a call i would transport you. If your in that much pain its not gas! This is not somthing to ignore!!!!!!

[Anoree]

I'm VERY sorry to hear you're in pain now. I wish I could do anything to make it better.

If the pain was at the right side, I would guess it was an appendicitis, but as it is it seems to be something else.
I once ate something (I don't know what) that gave me serious pain due to gas. It only lasted a day or so, but I could have climbed the walls.

It's good that you see the doc tomorrow. It's better to have that checked. A sonogram probably shows what's wrong.

I really hope it's nothing serious.

P.S.: I'm not a medic; I'd go with tigger's suggestions any time.

P.P.S: I've been at the doc with my pains, too.

Danielle i truely hope it isn't anything serious, but like everyone here says, doctors asap!!!.

Danielle, I really hope this is nothing serious, and not to scare you but appendicitis HAS, (My father for one.) Caused pains in the left side but that is very rare. But would agree with Tigger.

Good evening Dan!

You should go to the doctor asap! I do not know how it works in USA -just seen some episodes from Grey's Anatomy - ER - Dr House etc. :-D

In my country some luck is also needed to get over an illness because first of all patient has to find that doctor who gives the right diagnozis soon. Some doctors like keep on trying on the patients...this not too healthy...

I got blood work done at my doctors appointment earlier and will be going in on Tuesday to get an abdominal ultrasound. I guess the doctor doesn't think it's serious since they scheduled the ultrasound so far out. My mom thinks it may be an ulcer. We'll find out on Tuesday hopefully.

NO DRINKING till you go back to the DR. it could make it worse!!!!!!!!
