		<description>Used to have heinous periods - eventually went to the doctor, got magical (BC) pills, which also helped my skin, I think. 

Never went to a dermatologist about my acne. Runs in the family - my mother suffered through it as a young &#039;un and presumably figured I should do the same.

Recently got my first eye floater (black speck in my vision). It&#039;s all downhill from here.

Probably going to need to get my wisdom teeth out at some point. My bank account weeps.</description>

		<description>@LaNocciola I had anxiety and depression give me IBS-like symptoms.  Once I saw a therapist for the anxiety and depression my abdominal and intestinal pain started going away.  I definitely think there is a relationship between the two.</description>

		<description>At this point, I&#039;m starting to think Logan and I are the same person. Her columns on depression are the clearest explanation of how I feel that I&#039;ve encountered and now I find she has the same teeth grinding and long-term unsolvable abdominal pains. I think the abdominal pain is exacerbated by anxiety, if not completely caused by it. I don&#039;t know what the cure is.</description>

		<description>@Beans Yup my answer for why health insurance is &quot;because some of your organs could try to murder you any second, with no warning.&quot;

In addition to me having appendicitis, I also know two women who are late 20s/early 30s that just had their gal bladders removed because of infection.  I never realized that was a thing that could happen to young, otherwise healthy people but there you go.

Oh and my appendix surgery cost $27k with only a 1 night stay in the hospital (lol).  I paid $300, $150 copay for both the hospital and the actual surgery...which still seems like a rip off because obviously I have to have surgery in a hospital but whatever.</description>

		<description>@cawcawphony Why do doctors assume if you are a lady with abdominal pains it is automatically a problem with your lady parts?  I too went to the hospital with acute abdominal pain (that I assumed was constipation and tried to cure with Pepto) and my doctor (a lady) assured me that I: had an ectopic pregnancy even though all 3 of the pregnancy tests they gave me were negative; had ovarian cysts and/or a twisted ovary even though my pelvic exams and external/internal ultrasounds were clear; and finally &quot;I just don&#039;t know what&#039;s wrong with you man, guess I&#039;ll send you home&quot; - doctor lady.

Luckily a surgeon had seen my CT-Scan and prevented me from going home and dying from a ruptured appendix.    Since your appendix burst, I&#039;m assuming they covered your bill to avoid a malpractice lawsuit.</description>

		<description>oiseau- Yes, insurance is expensive if you don&#039;t have it through work, and even then it can be crap. I looked up individual plans last night and the cheapest plan I could find was $113 a month with a $7,500 deductible. How is any of that okay? Don&#039;t tell poor people to get insurance. Tell the people in charge of our health care system to make it affordable to be healthy! </description>

		<description>I had abdominal pain in the appendix-y spot for 13 years. I have had every test there is - blood work, CT scan, colonoscopy, everything. Went lactose free, tried different diets. No help. Two years ago I started taking Cymbalta. I have had only two days of stomachache since. (That&#039;s expensive enough on its own, but that&#039;s another story...)</description>
