Speaking of ulcers, I fear I have a stomach ulcer. Any Jezzie medical advice?
I get crazy bad pain in my stomach to my chest sometimes right after eating (most recently after eating sushi and then after chicken parmesan) that will last about 20 minutes. Sometimes it will happen hours after eating though, and when I lay down it usually helps.
I was just at the Dr, and mentioned this, and she said its most likely acid reflux.
@ElleL: Try to eliminate dairy and white flour food. But if you can't or don't want, please take digestive enzymes everytime you eat. I take two pills everytime I eat and it has help me soooo much. Enzymes help you break down your food. I have been doing this and my stomach is so much happy now. Also, my potty habits are better also...sorry TMI
talk about oldskool~~ i can't believe in this day and age of obscene costs for health care that there isn't one other option in the modern-day arsenal equivalent to this for preventing the amputation?
Mmm, I sure can't wait to have my chicken vindaloo over lots of fluffy white rice. Nothing like bright red tomato-based sauce over little white elusive ovoids for reals.
@magalie: Ha! looks like we posted at the same time. Point to you for posting the whole song. Extra credit for including the bit about rice pudding...Don't mind if I do. :)
@magalie: Believe it or not, my grandmother and her daughters (my mom and aunt) taught all of us kids that song, and we sang it on road trips. They LOOKED normal on the outside, but....
Even the M word is enough to gag. Has anyone heard of that Sardonian maggot cheese? Oh man. Grossest thing ever, I saw it on TV years ago and it still haunts me.
@Blueberrypie: oh, god! i saw a cheese special on the food network about that once... i'm all for maggot therapy, but i just couldn't bring myself to eat one. i don't even eat meat, and the thought of ingesting some little pale, squirming thing... chilling.
I don't even want to put the words "maggot" and "therapy" next to each other, let alone put actual maggots on any part of me that needs therapy! I realize this is a double standard because I often had leeches on me as a child and didn't think twice about it, but ew! Maggots. This treatment is Hard. Core.
Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, guess I'm gonna [have] worms [enter my body and nom on my flesh]!
Long thin slimy ones, short fat juicy ones, itsy bitsy fuzzy wuzzy worms! Down goes the first one, down goes the second one, oh how they wiggle and squirm! [Out] comes the first one, [out] comes the second one, oh how they wiggle and squirm!
That picture is both disgusting and really interesting at the same time. But now I can't stop wondering what it felt like, or sounded like... you know on CSI or whatever when maggots make squishy noises?
@LesliePaige: apparently it is slightly more painful that other medical options, but not because you can feel the maggots, but because there isn't the numbing solution that is often in these creams.
As squeamish as maggots make me, I would definitely do this is my alternative was losing my foot. Although I'd probably cover my eyes and whince a lot while they did it.
@saintbernadette: When they removed the staples from my abdominal surgery last summer, I covered my eyes with both hands like a five year old and hummed and sang Disney songs. Staples creep me out. A lot.
@EkaterinaBallerina: I didn't see the picture, but sometimes they put up a curtain between you and the rest of your body so you can't see what's going out. That would probably help a lot...
@water baby: Oh, I'd definitely request that. But I'm curious if she still had feeling in that foot. The feeling of maggots ingesting my flesh would be awful for me.
@EkaterinaBallerina: I imagine she can't feel them eating the dead tissue cuz it's...dead, lol. But yeah, I wonder if she can feel them against the rest of her leg, squirming & nibbling & ewwwww...

presenting The Hearse Song
Do you ever think as a hearse goes by,
that you may be the next to die?
They wrap you up in a big white sheet
From your head down to your feet.
They put you in a big black box,
And cover you up with dirt and rocks.
All goes well for about a week,
Then your coffin begins to leak.
The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,
The worms play pinochle on your snout.
They eat your eyes, they eat your nose,
They eat the jelly between your toes.
A big green worm with rolling eyes,
Crawls in your stomach and out your eyes.
Your stomach turns a slimy green,
And pus pours out like whipping cream.
You spread it on a slice of bread,
And that's what you eat when you are dead.
Thank you, I'm here all week. Try the rice pudding...
