Fuck me, that was funny. For the abreviated highlights, just skim through for blu-tone's posts.
Yep. one of the things that made me laugh loudest was looking at the timings - or rather the gaps - between blu-tones posts in the context of what was written. It is bloody hilarious.
The postman has just arrived, I received a brown envelope from my mother which contained two sachets of agent Picolax. *gulps*
A wireless laptop (with spare batteries) would be really handy for you now. Get some flushable wet-wipes too. And watch out for numb legs.

When he said he was going to take me apart from top to bottom, I didn't think he meant literally. All the appointments have arrived astoundingly quickly too, I've got a CT scan on Tuesday, an upper abdominal ultrasound for the following Wednesday and a barium enema for the following day. The one that I'm least looking forward to is the gastroscope but that appointment hasn't arrived yet. I have a suspicion that he'll run all these tests by me and state that my problems are stress induced.

It's hard to see it when you're in that situation, but if he does all these tests and nothing shows up then it's a good thing. Except that it doesn't fix you. It's good that it proves you've nothing 'sinister', but a bastard in that you go home feeling just like you did last month, without anything to fix it.
I had stomach troubles about eight years ago, had a colonoscopy and so on, nothing showed up. The consultant then lost interest, being the twat he was (I later heard some real scare stories about him from others who'd been misdiagnosed by him).
At that point I paid thirty or forty quid to some alternative medicine woman. She did this totally fake allergy test on me where I held a gieger counter in my hand and she put closed test tubes of liquid in it. But she also recommended I cut all kinds out of my diet, before reintroducing them four months later bit by bit. I also had to take a few different things from the health shop, like Chromium and Acidophillis and so on. It was certainly an improvement, although I would have liked to have gone back again. I don't believe the allergy test was anything other than witchcraft, but I do believe her nutrition advice was spot on.
Anyway, if they find something they can fix it. And if he says it's stress you should demand he treats you for that by sending you to see someone who specialises in it. The only problem is you might know too much about how all that works and be immune to it.
And for now, enjoy the burning ring of fire.

Apparently this Dr Dawson is amazing at his job so I don't have those worries about him. Doctors, nurses and patients of his have all said that he's held in such high regard.

oh no! Bloody hell Dirk (and that's probably where you'll be going in the next 48 hours....). Seriously, don't wander more than ten paces away from the bog, and carry a plastic bag around with you to sit on... good luck with all the other stuff too...
for anyone who hasn't read the original post, give it a go - your patience will be rewarded (just like Dirk's).
