My health has offcially gone to the crapper. After my appendix felt better I stopped taking the pain killers, which, turned out to be strong narcotic prescription pain killers (that I got without a prescription). I had been taking them for 3 days, and when I stopped taking them, I had really painful withdrawls, so needless to say, I didn't sleep well that night. This morning I woke up with a huge headache and fever which I feared might be a sign of my appendix bursting. I called my parents and had them get information and they left me assured that if it burst... I would feel it. I'm now having a terrible sinus headache which gets better when I sit up. I made a make-shift futon so I can sleep sitting up tonight.
If that wasn't enough inconvenience, just to top things off, I have "pit-ne" or as medical professionals would call it: "acne of the pits". The cause of this being my "Prescription strength" antiperspirant I started using before I left. I thought to myself "well this stuff is amazing!" and it really was the first stuff I've used that stopped pit sweat completely. 3 days ago I woke up with these weird red-ish bumps on my right arm pit, which I wrote off as mosquito bites. Well today I took a closer look cause it felt really irritating to put my right arm down... FULL BLOWN WHITE HEADS! I actually started washing my pitts with cleanser! gahh..
Sooo .... yeah. hi.. I'm Josiah Siemens..... and I have pit-ne
On the bright side, my face is clearing up. Mayang asked " do you kno why your skin is clearing up?".... "because I started to wash my face 3 times a day with cleanser?"... "No mahn. it's the spicy food". I don't really believe him..... but I'm keeping up both rituals. Just to be sure.

Pit-ne, really? huh....
I'm sure your mom will be happy to hear about your face beginning to clear up though, but not so much about the drugs.
We are all praying for you here, and all saying that you should have just got the appendix thing over with when you had the chance the last time. Now look what happened. :D
Love you Sy.
Wow. What an intriguing account of your day to day struggle in a foreign land!
actually the patient may feel the pain disappear for a short time after burst appendix...
arm pit issue: we were made to sweat and some of these deoderants out there totally clog our sweat glands so we don't sweat... not the best figuring it is natural and good to sweat it out. Should have bought some of my herbal pine deoderant... totally natural baby. I'll buy you some when you get back
