Author Topic: Blogland: My Medical Results Are In  (Read 1316 times)

Mmm.

Firstly, let me stress - this is early detection. I've been loving blessed to be throwing up three weeks in a row, because we've caught these problems right as they've started to develop and not when they're at their worst. Because of that, I still have time and energy to actually fix these things and make a fully recovery...hopefully.

Here's the summary of what the doc said:

  • Liver Failure: Due to a combination of genetics, poor dieting, alcohol-abuse and possibly my ONE toke of weed a long time back, the vomitting is being caused by my liver starting to die off. There's no solutions to this yet; I just need to cut back on the substances, change my diet and see a specialist pending the results of one final blood test on monday.
  • Tumour: I am developing a tumour in my neck. This is apparently due to recent problems in the local water supply and something to do with a high calcium intake. My doctor said this isn't as bad; it's still only forming and not cancerous, and can easily be solved by taking iodine supplements which will cancel out the calcium and kill off the tumour.

So yeah, the outlook is bad, but at least we caught these things early and I can now start to work at them. Let this be a warning to you young whippersnappers, eat your greens and don't smoke your greens unless you want to loving die  :cookieMonster:

Owch, sorry to hear that's happened to you.
I hope the tumour goes away quickly and your liver gets better.

Are you being told to quit alcohol entirely, or just to stick to limits and not binge?

Goddamn, I thought it would just be a bad case of food poisoning or something. :(

Well considering tumors and drinking problems are a common side effect of your stay on the forums, I'd say it's a very good possibility.

The last time we frankensteined bits of ourselves together we lost 3 members, a windmill and half the year's crops. I don't think we should go down that road again.
