You might have noticed my absence on these forums. I've been in and out of the hospital lately and the doctors can't figure out what's troubling me. I'm writing this from a local terminal at the hospital, hoping that the CAT scan today found something. So far the x-rays, blood samples, urine samples, gastroscopy ( where they take a tube to look inside your stomach) and biopsy have not turned up anything. We only know I have an increase in white blood cells at the moment, which could mean I've got an inflammation of sorts after all.

Truth be told, we still don't know for sure.

I'll keep you guys informed, for now I'm off to try and get this whole thing out of my system. Even playing music is just impossible with all the pain :(

Hope the medics get to a satisfactory answer soon. Nothing worse than not knowing. I'll be thinking positive thoughts for you.

If doctors don't find anything, stop relying on purely physical medicine and start looking elsewhere... Symptoms are not always diseases. Don't wanna sound rude, but is everything okay in your personal and/or professional life ?

Stress, depression, disappointments, sadness, frustration and such can often induce symptoms but there's no way to detect and treat it, for there is no disease. The remedy shall then be applied elsewhere as well...

Anyway, sending good waves in your direction  :)  Hang on dude !
...Whatever.

Get well soon, matey. I'm sure it's no fun right now, especially the not knowing bit. I'm sure everyone here'll be thinking of you.

And we'll do our best to keep your spirits up.

Sorry to hear this Ghost.  :(
I hope they find something soon. Let's hope it's not to serious and well treatable.

Semi good news:

the doctors figured out what is causing my problems; gall stones.

Whereas it is uncovered, it doesn't mean it's the end of my problems. I'll probably be staying in the hospital during easter and, due to an infection, I can't have my gall blatter removed any sooner than in 6 weeks or after that.

I'm hoping the infection bows out sooner and that they can get me back on my feet again, because being unable to do anything bar from lying in bed and trying to eat properly again, as the past few weeks I've pretty much lost over 20 pounds. So, hiatus still in working order, though its days may be more limited than I anticipated.

Thank you all for your support and messages here :) It warms my heart every time I read it :)

I'll keep you guys and gals posted on this matter.
