Not to add anymore Stress to the issue, but I remember when I felt "ok" too, and then bam...my kidneys decided to die on me. So even though you feel Ok today, just wanted to say get a second medical opinion if necessary.

Well, that is something to consider. Perhaps seeing a nutritionist wouldn't be a bad idea? Or someone that specialises in wheat issues?


GOOD LUCK!

in case you don't get it diet and exercise diet and exercise diet and exercise diet and exercise diet and exercise diet and exercise diet and exercise diet and exercise diet and exercise diet and exercise you can control those things and see another doc

Griff, you forgot "- and see another doc and see another doc and see another doc"

Oh, And LJ?

See another doctor, willya?

elf, i think i'll be fine. stop trying to scare me! Seeing a doc is just going to make me more nervous. doctors are compelled to DO something. until I have actual lasting physical symptoms, i think i'll just try not to stuff myself, and get more excercise. don't worry, I'll be ok.

Ok, ok, ok, I'l shut up now.
Just make sure you keep track of symptoms now, even if they're becoming less frequent - write them down somewhere - so that you have a solid history should you need it. At least for a month or so, or until they go away. Alright, now I'll shut up. Really.

<small>I know I come across as annoying sometimes :bitching: but I really do mean well. </small> :joylove:

Well elf, stop saying things he doesn't want to hear. It's obvious he's made up his mind on a course of action and this thread isn't to get advice, not even good advice. ;)
This thread is just to get as many people as possible to tell him he's doing the right thing and possibly post a secret family recipe that will cure everything, raise the IQ 20 points and make the penis 2 inches longer.
Oh I know...elf, if you want to be helpful you could tell him to turn out the lights...it's more conducive to whistling in the dark.:rolleyes:

Ohhhhh, sorry. My bad. :p

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be too interested in my super-secret family recipes.:yum: . . . they generally cause ageda and add two inches to a different portion of your anatomy entirely (your waistline! ). They do tend to work pretty well as antidepressants, though.

<small> OK, waaait a second. I went to check spelling... <b>Ageda</b> isn't a word? Frick. ( <-- not a word, either - but I'm okay with that.) Isn't ageda a word? Anyone hear of it before? Anyone?

Sure. Italians do.
Plus anyone that remembers the antacid advertizing campaign. :)

Ok. I feel better now. Thank you. No one here at work has heard of it, and I was starting to think it was something my grandmother made up. It's not in the Merriam Webster dictionary, but there is an entry for it in the American Heritage dictionary. Agita, though.

no. it's not. this thread was to share my experience, and hopefully excorcise the demon, and to find out more about panic attacks. or heart attacks. I never had any pain in my heart. I was just afraid i would......like it was inevitable because of how badly I scared myself that one night. Walking around with a cramp in my shoulder from the tension.....overreacting to every little blip i feel, every pain in my arm or jaw....things i would have ignored 2 months ago .....it's crazy. What is a doctor going to do? tell me i'm too tense, and should quit smoking? And don't say it can't hurt to go see one, because going through a diagnosis is just going to feed the fire of my fear....give me more to worry about. I just need to forget it. People describing bizzare electrical anomolies just freaks me out, and makes it harder to stop obsessing.

Jim, when is the last time you had at least 2 inches of man up your ass? i mean a full physical, of course. you are over 30 so you need to have that done regularly anyway. make an appointment for your normal checkup then tell him about your experiences.

he'll tell you to quit smoking, exercise more, and you don't have prostate cancer. you'll feel better, jinx will feel better...

Oh my.... :eek:

*hangs head in shame*
Somewhere along the line I got the impression that what pain you were experiencing was awfully close to heart-situated. I will, at this point -<small> probably considered way late in the game, mind</small> - say that I do believe very much in the power of positive thinking. It's got some limitations of course, but overall, it does make a good deal of difference in your health.
So I'll advise exercise of this sort: :lol2: and some of these: :D and avoid these: :bitching: at all cost. K?

Right or left?

This is not just a question to be annoying or cute.
