Rarely short on words, I find it’s more a matter of propriety, society and sobriety. No, it’s not that kind of sobriety. If you have IBS and you allow any alcohol to go “over the gums and into the tum,” then you will quickly learn it’s like swallowing battery acid. This kind of sobriety is the type I often battle because I’m a natural born smart ass. I use humor like some people use Kleenex; to cope, to wipe away problems and to get through the day.  As always I strive to find a way to say it without being too insensitive while displaying the correct amount of respect for others who suffer IBS. To be honest with all of you and I do try to be; I usually just let my words, driven by my thoughts and experiences, well, “just rip.�...

But, according to a study published recently in the online version of BMC Family Practice , “Many patients and general public do not know the location of key body organs, even those in which their medical problem is located, which could have important consequences for doctor-patient communication.” Researchers gave questionnaires to 722 people, many of whom were patients, but 133 were from the general population. Believe it or not, while most people among the general population could tell you where the intestines are (94%), only slightly more than half (55.6%) could tell you where their heart is. What was surprising to...

I’ve been in a pretty bad mood because I’ve been in a lot of pain lately. I started to feel the pain last Wednesday but wasn’t sure if it was a stone or just my Crohn’s disease flaring. Then Thursday it was a little worse but not too bad. Friday was the worst, but I still thought that it could be something else. I was in a meeting all day and hate using my sick time. So by the time time I decided to go to the doctor, it was too late. I figured that it would probably go away anyway. Then Saturday rolled around, I couldn’t stand the pain anymore and wound up in the urgent care facility. They did a CT scan and told me that I had a stone inside my kidney but they didn�...
