Everything hurts :(

Last night, this unbearable pain hit my upper abdomen... at times it was so intense I could barely catch my breath. I really don't want to deal with anything serious. Should I just grab some over-the-counter meds, or is it time to see a doctor? Honestly, I have a "lovely" physician, so in the past, I probably would've popped ten pills before even thinking about stepping foot in her office 😢 Could this be something major, or am I just paying the price for a bad diet?

Oh, I forgot to mention... I'm currently dealing with an e. coli infection. And a few years back, I had a really nasty bout of mono. My liver labs were a total disaster and my spleen was right on the edge of rupturing... just all that stuff. I can't help but wonder if this might be something similar again...

☕ Look, if you're still in this much pain, just head to the ER. You don't need to wait for an appointment with a doctor! Let me know how everything turns out...
And seriously, find yourself a new doctor!

It hurts like hell, honestly. But the ER won't take me if I'm seeing my regular doctor... My only choice is to wait until tonight, but I have to tough it out until then.😢If I don't end up in the hospital, I'll check back in.👍

Look, just try to get to the ER right now. When the pain hits that hard, they’re supposed to listen... I mean, what kind of doctor ignores pain that intense? That’s literally what the emergency room is for... 😕

I’m not looking for medical advice, per se, but should I take something for it or just head to the doctor? My physician is... well, let's just say she's difficult to deal with, so I'd probably rather swallow ten Advil than face her right now.😢Could this be something serious, or is it just a result of a bad diet?

Check in when you can—are you doing okay? What happened?

Come on... don't freak us out here... everything good?
