Always good to get a diagnosis of something acute that treatment can provide immediate relief for.

SRSLY! I was afraid it was going to be another "keep doing what you've been doing" which really didn't seem to be cutting it this time. Which is part of what kept me from getting to a doctor ASAP. I'm not sure I physically could have, but that psychological component was definitely an inhibitor.

Yay for getting it checked -- that infection can affect the rest of you for sure, so getting it nipped is a big win. It's so tough when chronic problems mask something like that -- if you're used to toughing it out, you're less inclined to bother a doctor when you "know" what the answer will be.

(I speak from my own experience -- given my IBS, I could have cholera for a week before I'd think there was much out of whack.)

Bing! Bing! Bing! Thank you, Theo, for articulating exactly what I've been feeling since yesterday. It's something I'll bring up with my PCP when I do the follow up with him this week.

I'm glad you went to a doctor, Frank. Not only is it good that it's fixable, but also it could have gotten a lot worse.

Newt just said that Romney is too dishonest to be president. It's the charred remains of the pot calling the kettle black. Heads exploded across America.

I actually think this is the case.

Obama for a second term!

Newt and Romney are both lying liars who lie, but Newt would say the sun sets in the east, and then tell people who challenged him that he'll provide proof after the debate. Then he'd say "sets in the east" was taken out of context by the liberal mainstream media.

Or, as you said, Obama for a second term!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So glad you went to the doctor, Frank!

This is so true. I don't have chronic issues myself, but have definitely seen it in others.

But...but in Newt's second term we get to live on the moon! Don't you want to live on the moon???

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

If Newt Gingrich becomes President, I may immigrate to the moon whether we have a colony there or not. Then I will throw rocks at him. From the moon.

Gingrich is so caustic and toxic. He is starting to implode now.
