drat, I feel like Superman compared to a lot of you. On any given day I could lift a million weights at the gym, drink an obscene amount, eat a family size blue box of mac and cheese with a couple andouille sausages sliced up and fried, with a metric ton of red pepper flakes, pass out and wake up the next day with no ill effects. I'm not even one of those invincible-feeling 18 year olds either, I'm 31.

I'm probably going to die young anyway.

I don't know what that is but it looks tasty I think.

This jetlag sucks, 6 hour time difference is hitting me hard this time. I'm not sure if waking up early to lift made things worse but I have a feeling it did. 10:30am and I could really go for a nap.

This was me until a fated trip to Cuba 6 years ago. Last night there, got horrible, horrible food poisoning. Ended up getting C-Diff from the antibiotics they gave me when I got back home. Then ended up having my entire gut flora wiped out from the antibiotics for the C-diff. Spent a year puking every day, hitting the can 10-12 times. Only the last 2-3 years I've felt "better", but I'm still not my old self.

C-diff is seriously scary stuff and will utterly destroy you and take a long time to get over. I had it in 2009? (or maybe 2010) and I'm still not back to where I was before in terms of strength, endurance, etc. poo poo it had me living in the hospital for 6 months, and surviving on TPN (IV nutrition) for more than a year because my gut was so hosed up. It changed the way I looked at a lot of things that I took for granted.

Ugh, job poo poo is starting to get to me again. I'm still waiting to get rolling on the job they hired me for nearly 2 years ago, because they've been dicking around with a new work order system and a ton of other BS in that time, preventing me from getting started on necessary maintenance. So I've been farmed off to other departments or just left to my own devices, wandering around and fixing any random problems I come across. Now I'm starting to hear mutterings from other office people about how I'm not "showing enough enthusiasm for the job and need to be more proactive" in doing stuff. :psyduck: Like I didn't single-handedly keep Campus Support going when the main guy there bailed due to health reasons and the other transferred to a better paying position. I then trained two new employees for that department, and took it from one of the poorest performing departments to the one that gets poo poo done. I've also been the one that has gathered an absolute shitload of useful data about the campus that will make future jobs a lot easier because all the information will be right there.

And somehow I'm the lazy one. gently caress this place so much.

If I even think they are going to try to throw me under the bus I'm taking my collection of pictures of all the crumbling infrastructure/lovely repairs to people that may find it...interesting.

drat Leica that sucks, hope you are able to treat or at least control it with meds. Welcome to the hosed up GI club. I'd recommend keeping a food journal/log of some kind for a while to figure out which food are good and bad for your situation.

So how does this work exactly? My gut always hurts in one way or another, so I won't be sure what food does or doesn't make it hurt. I eat pretty healthy for the most part, I just never have any sort of noticeable reaction to anything I eat so it would be hard to tell.

That makes it tricky. For me it's a pretty obvious yes I feel fine after I ate that or no I'm in pain and/or stuck on the toilet. You might be able to notice some foods make it worse which is at least a start. Basically write down everything you eat/drink and try to guess serving size, then if later you feel shittier you can go back and look at the log and start narrowing it down.

Once you're on some meds or something and get to the point of non-constant pain and stuff it will be a lot easier to figure out good and bad foods. Right after the c-diff I didn't bother because everything was a problem but it got better over time.

My doctor was impressed by the fact that I had a full-blown case and was still (mostly) functional. A full month of retarded antibiotics to completely wipe out my gut flora and its "fixed", but, yeah. I'm not what I used to be, and it sucks. Lack of energy and shittiness post-C-diff led to me getting way out of shape and putting on nearly 50lbs (any amount of exertion would cause me to have the urge to vomit, and would necessitate a rapid trip to the nearest toilet.) I'm still trying to get back into shape (not that I was fit by any means, but I wasn't where I am now). People in healthcare/people who've had it are the only ones who get how loving nasty it is.

Similar here, I had swine flu for a week or so before I went in to get some meds. Meds wiped out the swine flu but also my gut. I didn't go back in until I had dropped 20lb in under a week and a half and could barely walk because my knees hurt so bad. My potassium and blood pressure was so low when I checked in they hooked up four IV's and ran them non stop for 48 hours. I am NOT a smart man...I had a similar check in this spring with e-coli. I went from 140lb to 85lb then up to 150 very over-hydrated pounds.

Strange though I never got the vomiting with c-diff at all, just the constant fear of nearly instantaneous bowel emptying at a moments notice.

I'm actually kind of glad I have to take this class, because I was debating between Computer Engineering and Software Engineering and this class has shown me that I chose correctly and now I will never look back and wonder if I would have wanted to be a CE instead. So there's a silver lining I guess.

The good news is that I now understand K-maps and now get to move on to top-level design circuits and figuring out how to read timing diagrams :smithicide:

Jesus Christ, guys! I'm not sure whether to feel good or guilty that I still have a reasonably cast-iron gut at 45. I can't eat near as much as I did as a teenager, but I still seem to have at least 90% of the resistance to hot/spicy/fried/etc. It all tries to make me fat ('cuz I'm not kastein), but rarely tries to kill me. I guess I should feel grateful for that, and generally being, if not healthy, not too unhealthy.. A few creaky joints and being about 65 pounds overweight is all I can really claim. Oh, and horribly near-sighted with one cataract, but I'm hoping to take care of that soon-ish, depending on what insurance will cover.

Oh, yes. This to me is the only good thing about cold (for Texas, which is admittedly mild) weather. Hot soups, hot chocolate, and hot cereal. Well, that, and my utility bills go down (gas heat way cheaper than electric AC.)
