I've got a lump in my throat.

[purpleravenhawk]

Not like, 'Omg, she's so cute, what do I say to her?!' More like, 'I'm having trouble swallowing, and I'm starting to get worried about this.' It might be reflux or stress-related. That would be easy to treat. Or an infection. That would fairly easy to treat. But there are other possibilities that aren't so good. Time to go to a doctor, consarnit. stressed

GO TO A DOC! PRONTO!!!  

[Tybarious]

what are you waiting for? go to the doctor.  

[xwhateverxdudex]

Yeah, purple hates going to a doctor.

I'm not too fond of the idea myself, but I'd go if I had the money.  

[purpleravenhawk]

Well, the doctor wasn't a big help. He wants to run a bunch of tests. stressed I can't afford that.  

[JanNut]

surprised Is affording a Doc too much there? Woah. That's not fair!  

[purpleravenhawk]

Yeah, I don't have health insurance, and medical stuff just costs too much. sad  

[xwhateverxdudex]

Yes, yes it does.
crying

That flipping sucks. :/
I seriously think Health Insurance in America should be free or discounted.
The flipping government really should provide basic healthcare.
We can't afford Health Insurance either...if we did, we'd have to get rid of the car.

As far as the lump itself.
I really-really-really hope it's not something serious.
I know someone who was complaining of a lump in his throat for a while and it hurt whenever he swallowed or breathed deeply.
It turned out to be some sort of cyst like thing and he had to get it surgically removed.

that stinks, I hope you will get well, purple  

[xwhateverxdudex]

I'm pretty sure she said it doesn't hurt, it's just there.  

[purpleravenhawk]

Yeah, it doesn't hurt. And it's mostly gone now, so I don't think it's anything like a cyst. Now I just have a lot of annoying flu-like symptoms: lightheadedness, headaches. Today, I've had some stomach cramps, and my neck muscles are achy, like I strained it. xp I'm hoping it's just slowly improving and going away.  

[Sweetkitty]

oh that's odd but I am glad to hear that.

Perhaps some good rest & vitamin enriched food/drink would help.
It could always be stress related, or exhaustion related. ♥

Whatever the case, I hope it does go away and you're feeling all better soon.

Yeah, it looks like it may have had something to do with the lack of good food on my shelves. sweatdrop That, and I haven't been getting much sleep lately.
