Chronic Ed: How Lucky!
Five years ago in desperation I decided against my better judgement to take the NSAIDs I was offered (As my wife at that time allowed me to use money to see a doctor, and since I had no idea when I'd get to see one again. I took them).
Needless to say, they...messed...me...up...a...lot. Difficulty breathing, severe dizziness (I should not be driving), chest pains, and my arm pits smelt like plastic. About a year and a half later, my sense of smell became highly erratic (Mostly changed with salts and sugars in the beginning, now almost everything). Then after three years, the chest pains stopped, my weight finally dropped back to normal, the dizziness, although not as severe, is still pretty bad (And I really should not be driving), the breathing problems got so much worse, but the breathing is easier, WTF? Anyway, I can't be in humid air, I start coughing like I'm dying. Oof!
Anyway, been a month since I've been out of the house, and she has decided that I don't need help, since I'm faking all of this, so staying with a niece who lives quite a ways out of town (And won't take care of her damn animals)...I really need to save as much of the 90 I have left for gas. (Not easy finding work when you're in a god awful amount of pain, and not to mention the lightheadedness that makes you almost mental. Holy halibuts. Just waiting on if I'm found to be "disabled enough" to get help from voc rehab...Else wise, eh, I''m probably out of luck.
Anyway, ran out of the food that helps my stomach. So I'm pretty much stuck with cheap foods for now. (Note, I can still get food easily. Just the foods that help with my dizziness and lung problems would cost a hell of a lot, hamburger and the like).

Damn! Should have drawn some pain symbols for my stomach. Keep forgetting about that. Kind of hard to remember all this crap, heh.
