About Me
I'm a geek guy with stupid awful digestive problems. I've dealt with some variety of them my whole life, but in the past couple of years it's really taking a toll. I'm just looking for some folks with similar experiences to commiserate with, and to share stories and tips for getting by. I'm getting tired of talking to folks who don't quite understand the irregularly occuring but near-constant and unpredictable bouts of pain, and tired of doctors and hospitals who don't, won't, or can't help.

Close Diverticulitis
I've had digestive trouble all my life, but in the past two or three years it's really peaked. It's just days shy of my 26th birthday as I write this, and in the past two years I think I've had at least six occurances. I don't have health insurance, so paying for care is almost impossible. It's a struggle daily.
