Ah, yeah, I had some health problems last year.

I'm a stingy person, and I try not to use money as possible. So I've done stupid things - like skipping lunch or dinner. Well, I did got to save up a lot of money to buy anything I'd like. And the problem appeared not so long ago.

Having eaten irregularly, and skipped meals multiple times, I ended up having stomach-aches a lot. Like, a fork was scratching on my stomach. When the symptoms got worse, I went to the hospital, and the doctor told me I was probably suffering from gastric ulcer. So I had gotten a prescription like this: (this is only a part of the list. there were much more, but I can't remember.)

NEVER skip meals.
ALWAYS fill up your stomach and never leave it empty for over six hours.
Never drink fizzy drinks, alcohol, or other acidic stuff like juice. Coffee has caffeine, so don't drink it either.
Milk would likely make the stomach produce more acid, so don't drink milk so much.
Reduce anything that would surprise your stomach. Have meals that aren't too salty, or too spicy.
Don't eat fruits late at night.

Yeah... so the things I had done to save money turned out to make me spend over doubles on medicine.

My advice is, everything written above. If I were to pick one, NEVER skip meals. However much you are busy, fill up your stomach.

My, that sounds aweful. I skip some meals sometime, but it's pretty rare nowadays. Will there be a time when you'll be able to start eating normally again?

Thanks for the concern XD Ever since I got that prescription I made sure I NEVER skipped meals, only on those rare occasions of suddenly having things to do - and I try to have at least snacks if I can. Going around with an empty stomach never helps with anything, so I recommend everyone to have something to eat when they can.
 
I've gotten a hairline fracture on my marriage finger (one beside pinky and middle) on my left hand like four times. Despite being right-handed, I managed to get out of writing for a few days every time. Broken nothing else though ^_^

Oh, I got an operation on my left nostril when I was younger. Uh, that's it with regards to hospitals, I think.
 
I think my biggest health problem was (and still is) my tyroid gland. I don't remember exactly what the doctor said, but apparently it doesn't work enough. It's not weak enough to make me take medication, although it's borderline. I need to go to the hospital once every 6 months for a blood test, because they want to be able to react quickly if something happen with it. It's because of that that I stopped growing up before everyone else.

On the bright side, that made you learn how to eat healthily, so it's not just a bad thing.

How did you manage to break the same finger four times?
 
Synthesis said:
Like soccer, except you can use your hands to carry the ball. It's an Irish sport and it's for real men. Kinda same build of players as rugby players

Oh, I see. You're lucky it was just the finger, then, not an arm or a leg. That's why I don't like those sports.

Just those with the less risk of hurting myself: badminton, rollerblade and volley-ball (although I've hurt my thumb pretty badly because of this one, once). But this is getting off-topic.

I like those three too, although I've played volleyball like three times or something. I chipped one of my front teeth while rollerskating and falling so I was turned off them for a while.

Did you get that tooth repaired?
 
Synthesis said:
Of course. I wouldn't walk around with a huge gap in my mouth o_O

Well, I know some people who broke one of their teeth and never repeared it. The nerve wasn't visible, so it didn't hurt. I broke one of my front teeth too, back when I was still 6 or so, because of a grocery cart. I went to the dentist and he reppeared it. I broke it again in 7th grade.

Ouch. That sounds painful and I don't know why. It feels a little loose sometimes so yeah, wouldn't be too surprised if it brakes.

It was, both breaking it and having it repeared, especially since the dentist didn't use any kind of anaesthesia and the product he used was really cold.
If you don't force it it shouldn't break, I think. I tried opening a pen with my teeth the second time, that's why it broke.
 
My dentist told me I had cavities. I don't even eat sweets that often.
 
I can't have cavities according to my dentist, because I don't have the kind of bacteria that causes them.
