Do we need a Medical subsection ???

I know its different, but I was off work with stress (properly - Had a note).  I found the worse bit was my self image - I felt a fraud, because I didn't have a bandage/wound/etc. I went back after 2 weeks, after a couple of days my boss casually enquired 'Are you ok?" and I just burst out crying.  He sent me straight home- no questioning and I ended up taking a full month off.

Quite a few years ago I had "stress induced glucose intolerance"  , it was very interesting how differently people reacted to that compared to someone with "stress"

On Wulf's gallstones; had them too! Got the whole bladder removed and though I've heard horror stories about the possible complications afterwards (complete with people dying from them!) I actually had a walk in the park... Got the bladder removed at about 09:30 under full aneastethics, was eating a sandwich with coffee at 12:00 and had a full portion of pork with mashed potatoes at 17:30! At the same moment the surgeon who operated on me walked in and he was amazed... All he said was 'Well sir... if it feels alright; please finish your meal, just don't overdo it...' and so I finished it! Also; have been eating everything I wanted since, no problem what so ever.
Only have some slight pain when sitting leaning over for a long time (painting for example) from a small bit of scar tissue that formed afterwards but that's really it.
If you can have like I had I'd say get the thing out a.s.a.p.

Cheers,

Well, at the moment I avoid fatty dairy products. Frankly, I should be avoiding fatty everything a bit more... So I'll keep my insides inside, thanks...

Yeah, me too. Pure hell for a registered cheese addict.

Fortunately, due to a dyslexic dietician, I only have to avoid recording my daily activities. Yes, I am diary free.
