As they say, “The hits just keep coming.” The latest being the severe stomach cramps I have been having for the past three days or how about I was hugging the toilet while everyone else was enjoying having a nice Easter dinner. I usually don’t get sick to this extreme, the most that happens to me is the annoyance of my allergies.

As I mentioned, I was sick as a dog on Easter. I am sure I had a temperature but for the life of me I couldn’t find the damn thermometer. Besides the temperature, I had real bad headaches which even 800 mg of Ibuprofen couldn’t seem to knock out. All I wanted to do and did was sleep. Between the catnaps, I was paying homage to the porcelain goddess, around Tuesday I seem to feel better or so I thought. It was one of those nice days so I actually got up and got out the house. I went to visit a friend and ate dinner there.

By Wednesday the stomach cramps kicked in. I didn’t think anything of it at first. I figured maybe it was some gas. But then my stomach kept tightening up and it seem like I felt lumps on the sides of my stomach. That’s when I started to get worried and started trying to diagnose myself. I even had the absurd thought that I might be pregnant but then I had to think back and actually wanted to smack myself. It couldn’t be possible because the last person I was intimate with was Rico (my loyal fans prolly remember him) and I made sure we had condoms. None broke that I knew of so I ruled out that idea plus I had a depo shot since then. Whew. Ok, so what in the hell could it be?

While on the phone with my gay friend, yeah, we’re on speaking terms, he thought that I might have gotten food poisoning from somewhere. I guess that could be possible but before getting stressed I decided to do a search on the symptoms that I was having. Everything from food poisoning to IBS(irritable bowel syndrome) showed up. Oh great, and then I started freaking out. I decided I was just going to try to rough it out. Instead of dwelling on it, I decided to go to the forums.What do I see on the POZ page? The article about salmonella poisoning, well, that started my mind racing so I decided to read the article. Once again, I am freaking out and in a major way. The article was informative though it made me more concerned.It would be just my luck with the latest events going on in my life at the moment that I would likely have food poisoning to add to my list. If so, what did I do to deserve this?

I had a “Spock” moment and decided to think things through logically. I can only deal with the moment and the moment called for me to roll a blunt to calm myself down. And before anyone comments, the good green was given to me earlier in the day for my upset tummy. So, it’s use was purely medicinal and not recreational. I didn’t spend one little cent.*sticks out tongue at “you know who”*

While being in “Spock” mode and quite blunted, I decided that I am going to give the ER a call when I get up. If the nurse tells me that I need to come then I will. I hate the wait when going to the ER but this pain is not something I can deal with for much longer. One thing I know for sure is that this is definitely not some type of stomach virus. Something is going on and after reading the Poz article, not something I better take lightly. Stay tuned for update.
