I have been told that could be the case, but while doing some research im leaning more towards the thought that i could very well have appendicitus. Im headed to the ER tonight, and the pains keep getting worst and worst, this is day 4 with the pain, and i was told by my step mother (that is a registered nurse) that it sounds like appendicitus and that if i dont get it treated and it reptures i have a good chance of dying.

Acute Appendicitis: The main symptom of acute appendicitis is abdominal pain or abdominal sensitivity. However, abdominal pain occurs with many conditions and only an estimated 5% of cases of abdominal pain are actually appendicitis. Although uncommon, appendicitis is very serious, and difficulty in diagnosing appendicitis in the emergency department makes appendicitis the 3rd leading cause of malpractice lawsuits. Misdiagnosis of appendicitis is particularly common in children and infants with abdominal pain with estimates of initial misdiagnosis rates from 28% to 57% for under age 2-12 and almost 100% misdiagnosis for appendicitis in infants.

Acute Appendicitis: Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix, a small portion of the large intestine that hangs down from the lower right side. Although the appendix does not seem to serve any purpose, it can still become diseased. If untreated, an inflamed appendix can burst, causing infection and even death. About 1 in 500 people has appendicitis each year.

Appendicitis may occur after a viral infection in the digestive tract or when the tube connecting the large intestine and appendix is blocked by trapped stool. The inflammation can cause infection, a blood clot, or rupture of the appendix. Because of the risk of rupture, appendicitis is considered an emergency. Anyone with symptoms needs to see a doctor immediately.


My main concern is that the doctors are going to blame it on me taking supplements and working out, and that they are going to tell me i need to "tone it down"

Shit if i care, if they wanna stick a blade in my side and take out one of my organs, im all game for that, but ive been so motivated by my fitness, and they better not tell me to tone it down.


Good health to live.... Live to have good health.
