breaking in interesting ways
Oct. 13th, 2004 09:45 amI really wish I knew what my body was doing, sometimes.
This morning, I got one of those nasty hurts-under-ribs-can't-breathe things again. Haven't gotten one that bad since the first time, back in 97 or 98 (I forget which at the moment). Made some interesting observations about this one; I donno if it is the same or different from the last time, because last time I didn't have the opportunity or awareness to monitor the beginning so closely.
( details )
Last time it didn't drop off so quickly down to background pain levels, either. I wish I knew what it was, though. I've had people suggest pleurisy, and the medical person I went to the first time seemed to be completely flummoxed (but that was Hall Health, and I doubt they're capable of identifying much that the average student can't), but there doesn't seem to be much to do for it. If it happens again once I have real health insurance, I may try to get it identified. Maybe by then there will be something they can do for it, too. :)
