Logging the sick

Well, now I have allergies, but I really don't feel sick. I've been sneezing a lot.
So I have Cholelithiasis, aka gall stones. The option the doctors gave me was surgery to remove my gall bladder, but I have decided to just ignore it. After all they said my stones were so small I shouldn't feel any pain. It would appear that I have had this pain for years, occasionally after eating ice cream. So my solution is to avoid things that I know give me pain. I was taking dicyclomine for about a month. I feel like it messed me up inside. So I quit that too. Up until my attack, as I am calling it, I felt fine. As such I will probably be fine until the next one. Then I will take the dicyclomine. Naturally, there are some bad possible outcomes from gall stones, and I'll be sure to watch out for the signs of them.
This has however motivated me to try my best to eat low cholesterol and low fat foods.
Interestingly, I went to a teaching hospital/clinic. It was kind of like Scrubs, but not funny. I didn't like it. In the future, I will go elsewhere.
