Celiac, The Emergency Room & Masterbation

Hey. I am still here. I haven't been writing because I have been recovering from my 3rd surgery. I have just been feeling lousy. But thanks for all the comments. It's nice to know there are others out there who can relate to what I am going through. I do have a funny story to share with you. Well I think it's funny. Just a warning. It is sexual in nature.

I had to go to the Emergency Room last Wednesday. I was having pain, nausea, sweating profusely and dehydrated. When I get like this my pain doctor told me that sex or masterbation can help. Due to the endorphin rush. Which is the best natural pain medication there is. In the past I have done this and it has helped. Not everytime, but sometimes. Because I am so sick, sex is out of the question so I usually try to masterbate. It just wasn't working this time. So after 5 hours of misery I dragged myself to the ER.

I was lucky and got in right away. I have been to the ER enough times and have seen enough doctors, that I never lie to them about anything. It doesn't help you and they do not judge you. They just need to know what is going on. I had a male nurse and a male doctor treating me and both were about my age. When it came to the standard question "Any burning when you urinate". I said yes, but I do not have an infection. The doctor asked me how I could be sure. So I explained to him that I used my vibrator for the last 4 hours and I have irritated myself. The RN then said. And you aren't wiped out. And I said no, because it didn't work! I never had an orgasm. He then asked why I did it and I explained that it helps with pain etc. I could tell he was a little embarrassed. Then the doctor said I think masterbation is helpful for everything and thanked me for being so honest.

After that I got excellent treatment. They were both very attentive. Not because I was so desireable but because I think I gave them a little humor in their long days of treating sick people. My RN even told me he would never forget me.

So that is my funny little story about my last ER visit. Hope you can find the humor as well. It is important in life to see the humor of things. It makes this journey of life just a little easier,

Err... Wow! Kinda gobsmacked!
Seriously, I'm speechless. The best I can say is 'ya gotta do, what ya gotta do!'
I almost never have doctors like that. Would I be able to claim Medicare coverage for that? ;)

I wanted to say "thank you"--I just found your blog & ordered the EnerG crakcers--if they are as great as you say (and I am SOOO hoping they are!!) I will be ordering more stuff. Can't wait to get em!!

My husband and I just got diagnosed and he is very good on his diet but me.....well, I'll be good for days and then get stressed and end up eating Jack in the Box's chocolate cake or double-cheese something.....

Hang in there and just know you have helped a great many people!! Big hugs to your kitties, too!!
