Hi

First I have to say that I've been drinking tons of sodas and lots junkfood heavily til I was 19. Sometimes I'd go a week or two without water. but anyway...

On Dec 22, 2004 while at work I got really dizzy and started sweating so I sat down. A minute later I felt a rush coming from my chest so I ran to the bathroom. When I got to the toilet blackish blood shot out of my mouth like a super soaker.

Fast foward!!...!

At the hospital the doctor said "I'm going to have to do a rectal exam." I didn't know what it was at the time but he put this glove on and told me to bend over. At first I thought this was a joke or he thought I was gay or something and I didn't do it. He asked me again so I said "for what?" and I bent over a little. HE STUCK HIS FINGER IN MY ASS! I was like AHHH WHAT THE HELL?! He dug deep too! After that he went into this room and when he came out he told me that I could have an ulcer, cancer, and something else but he told me to go to another doctor because I didn't have insurance or something.

I didn't return to the doctor since! Why? Because I thought another doctor was going to stick his finger up my ass and I'll be damned if that happens again!...also wasn't having any symptoms but lately I've been having shortness of breath (for about a year now) and now it kinda hurts when I take a really deep breath. I'm thinking that I might have cancer and might be very close to dying. I don't know. What do you think? Smile

We all think that from time to time, especially when we are so ignorant about our own health.
I think you are being immature about the anus thing and acting childish. Don’t tell me you never had anything inside of your anus, that a woman never entered her finger inside to stimulate the prostate?
I am not gay either but I did try that and had a whole lot of fun.

Back to the problem. If the doc thought you should have gotten examined, then you should have. You may need to undergo colonoscopy, which is also receiving something from behind but under general anesthesia. This kind of procedure is to determine if anything’s wrong with your bowels like inflammations, ulcers, polyps, etc…..

Nobody can help you but yourself and a doc!
