RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
  5. Keep it clean and SFW

About two years ago I developed a hiatal hernia that has wreaked absolute hell on my body and my mind. It has been messing with my vagus nerve giving me all kinds of digestional problems. The GI I saw did not take me seriously, told me to change my diet and lose weight. Well gee, thanks for that astute observation, asshole. I guess spending several years giving myself the actual hell of losing weight somehow medically supercedes the feeling of an impending heart attack every single day. To be very clear, I saw a cardiologist who checked me out and said my heart is in very good condition, though I should continue to exercise to strengthen it. This doesn't change the fact that I have experienced an extensive trauma from the entire ordeal.
