piploverI was talking with a friend today that I haven't seen since February. We're doing a charity zombie walk in October, and we got together on my lunch break to go over some of the details.
As we were talking, he mentioned he had gone to the hospital last night for stomach pain. I told him I could sympathize. He started to describe his systems, and then I described mine, and we both realized... We have the exact same pain.
Oh my God. I'm not alone!
I can't tell you how much it means to me to know that I'm not the only one with this. After all this time, after being told it was in my head. I don't want him to be in pain any more than he wants me, but we were both so happy to finally be validated!
Both of us have gone through the same tests and been told that nothing shows. Blood tests, ultra sounds, other tests I can't even think of. We've both had them, and both have come up with nothing! What the hell is wrong with us we don't know, but at least we know now that we aren't alone.
I just - I can't even describe it. After a year and half of people telling me I'm exagerating, it's in my head, it's nothing. Finally, someone who really understands!
