It's 10PM, do you know where your appendages are?
Last Tuesday I was diagnosed with Epiploic Appendagitis. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.
According to an independent study of 3 people I know in the medical profession, when blood flow is restricted to any part of the abdomen it is some of the worst possible pain you can endure.
According to one other friend, who learned much of his medical knowledge from Reservoir Dogs, getting shot in the stomach is the worst pain you can have.
Either way, I'm in pain. The ER docs say that it can take up to a month to subside. So I got that going for me.
In the process of being diagnosed with EA, I was given a CT scan. During that test they flood your body with iodine through your IV tube. And things get hot. Damn hot. I felt like I was boiling.
Bottom line, this is rare. Really rare. I'm just lucky I guess.

Mc Donalds has little containers of playdoh in the happy meals right now. Can't beat that for true value.
