Endoscopy

This 18th, I have to go and get a endoscopy done.  They are looking for anything abnormal and ulcers.  I lost 20 pounds in about 2 weeks.  I was down to 176 pounds.  Reason was I quit eating since everything I ate and or drank at any time felt like it was going to come back up.  The sickness has lasted about a month so far until I started taking the stomach medicine.

The G.I. Doctor said he thinks its ulcers but if they are they don’t feel like normal ulcers from when I had them before.  Ulcers were painful when you got hungry and went away after you ate.  I am having the exact opposite now.  When I eat or drink I get sick, almost to the point of throwing up.  They still think its ulcers though…  We’ll see (literally) I guess on the 18Th.

New Car

I purchased a 1990 Oldsmobile Royal 88 on October 20th, 2009 for only $588.  With tax and other bullshit, the total was $700 something.  This thing runs like a brand new car.  It has 150k of mileage.  It has new tires (probably costs more then the car itself).  The body is rusting but the inside is clean and the damn thing runs excellent.  I created timers which are located in the lower right hand column of this Blog at the bottom of the page.  One that started since the purchase of the car and one since its last repair.  Right now they are the same time but this will allow you to keep track of how long I have this car and when and how many repairs it has had since its purchase.  I drive it to work and back and maybe to Cleveland once every three months.  My work is 21 miles round trip.  Lets see if I got a good deal.  If this car lasts one year with no repairs, it will have paid for itself.  My goal is three years with minor repairs.  Keep an eye on the timers in the right column at the bottom as these will be updated when the car needs any minor repair – FYI.

  • Time since new Car:
    4 months, 3 weeks, 1 day, 12 hours, 2 minutes, 31 seconds ago
  • Time since last Car Break Down:
    4 months, 2 weeks, 4 days, 16 hours, 2 minutes, 31 seconds ago
  • Repair Cost $300 Running since:
    4 months, 1 week, 1 day, 17 hours, 57 minutes, 31 seconds ago

    23. Light travels faster than sound. That’s why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
    24. Life isn’t like a box of chocolates. It’s more like a jar of jalapenos. What you do today, might burn your butt tomorrow.

    Smoke No More

    I am now smoke free.  This is the first time I quit smoking cold turkey.  I had to as the inhaler I used last time to help me quit made me cough my lungs up.   So, now I am finished.  That sucked really bad over the weekend with no smokes.  No help.  On top of being sick.  Third times a charm!  No more.  Not going through that bullshit again.

    Ankylosing Spondylitis and or Rheumatoid Arthritis

    Well, I changed the theme of my blog. I couldn’t stand the 2 column layout any longer and the fact that I can’t sleep for what ever fucking reason means I am bored.

    I am now going to start putting my physical presence in here so that all I have to do is click on a specific category to bring up the last times I felt that way. hopefully I can remember to do this at least once ever day or two. This way I have a better explanation for my rheumatoid doctor as I can never remember my general well being the past three months unless I have an extremely bad flareup. If anyone is interested in the drugs one would have to take due to Ankylosing Spondylitis and or Rheumatoid Arthritis (because the treatment is the same for both and the experts do not know which or both diseases I have – go figure).

    My current medications:

    • Mobic
    • Prednisone
    • Embrel Double Injection (weekly)
    • Etanolol
    • OxyContin
    • Prozac
    • Immetrex (injection)
    • Vitamin D Supliment (prescription)
    • Vitamin E Supliment (prescription)

    Not all these meds are for my disease but holy fuck, they are for the side effects that the ones for my disease cause. I take drugs to stop the effects of other drugs I take. I take more drugs because of the side effects of my disease… its crazy. I will admit though, my favorite cocktail are Prozac, Prednisone and OxyContin. Especially the Oxy! Oh man, it takes the edge off the pain nicely. Doesn’t take the pain away but takes the sharp knife effect away for sure and the Prozac, well… all I can say about that is that I can now live with my disease and not give a rats ass about it anymore plus other benefits like no more panic attacks etc… I am thankful I don’t have a disease that will kill me in a short time period. This disease will kill me, but chances are not in the next 5 to 10 years like some other horrid diseases will.
