Yikes, AR, that's some scary news. Hope that whatever it turns out to be is as benign as possible, and that you get better.
Also, props to Qooper for not being ashamed of Jesus even when it's likely to catch him flak.

Qooper, I don't care who's who in your religion. The thing is that I despise you and your lot for always trying to evangelize people when you think they're weak. You're like vultures. You wouldn't dare to say shit like this to a man like AR if he was up on his toes. But now that he might face some problems, you think you're en par with him? You're not. And you never will be.

Except it's not likely to catch flak in a thread about what could be a serious threat to someone we like's well being, nice try though...
(...but then again: damn you Koyla - but props, god has nothing to say about anything, let alone about something remotely serious - being a shamelessly invented non-entity)
best of luck Caraini's bottom and AR's head - here's to resolution. If all else fails we could construct a new being out of AR's bottom and Carini's head. Best of both worlds.

This.
On the subject of a triune god, it's rather like the Egyptian belief of each god representing different forms of Ra. They're different, and yet the same.

Carini... get that bottom better soon, you never know when I might hit up Galviston with the force of ten Ikes. :cool:

Christ you fags can't go anywhere without starting shit. A MAN IS DYING HERE ha ha just kidding I love everyone TTLG is about friendship
I don't care about Qooper's post (even if I wanted to- a side effect of my fucked up hormones means I'm almost emotionless and apathetic, which sucks kinda I guess); people respond to bad shit in their own ways. A man loses his house to a fire, he's liable to praise God for the fact he and his family is safe, damn God for lighting the place up, look on the bright side that it was a shithole anyway and the insurance was worth double the house's, cry endlessly for the loss of all he has worked for, fall into a deep depression and kill himself, or snap and become a serial arsionist. Some people take the "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away" approach. Right now I'm sort of in no-man's land: I don't really know how to feel and I lack the ability at the moment to feel anyway, so I'm going to take this as it comes.
Some oh snap all up in this- I checked my email and received an appointment confirmation earlier from the endocrinologist *RECORD SCRATCH*: if you're from Ontario or even anywhere in Canada the average wait time to see a specialist, even in most "emergency" cases can be up to 6 months. I'm getting in this Tuesday. I assume he'll run my symptoms and order a full hormonal blood test to triple check and if the first doctor was right, I'll be referred for an emergency MRI (MRIs usually take 6-8 months to secure, emergency ones can happen RIGHT THE FUCK NOW) which will probably show a growth of some description on my pituitary gland which will require going in through my nose and destroying. It's very routine and fairly safe as far as surgeries go, and the growth is never malignant nor spreads. Chances are good I will still need hormone therapy the rest of my life.
If the doctor was wrong and it's not a pituitary, thyroid, adrenal or testicular issue I will probably be given testosterone replacement therapy along with a slew of other pills to modulate testosterone breakdown, estrogen build up and other assorted hormone levels. This also can last the rest of my life and become expensive if not covered by my insurance, which I do not know if it is yet. Either way the general consensus seems to be it's either a brain tumour or some other hormonal gland issue which will require lots of meds for a long long time. Right now I just want to be normal again. I'm gaining weight and with almost no testosterone and high levels of "female" hormones along with my almost no energy it's becoming nearly impossible to lose it, and that's scary as all shit for a strapping young lad like me who was this close to becoming competitive in bodybuilding. I don't have any of the emotion or sexual sensation I did, hell, 1 year ago and don't even feel like me. Right now I'm about 2 steps away from surgically removing my pituitary with a bullet.
Luckily I got in so fast to see this guy; he must think it's serious. I'll have a better handle on things Tuesday

yeah, thanks. If all this wasn't bad enough I have to get plastic surgery to remove a buildup of hard tissue in my chest at some point
Tocky on 13/10/2008 at 04:26
I thought a tumor on the pituitary caused gigantism. If it were me I would claim selective gigantism anyway. But yeah, you might want to remove the boobs before using it as a pickup line. On the plus side think how bulked you will be once you get the testoserone going since you did fairly well without it.
Damn. Heads or tails is a poor choice medical wise aint it? I just hope you win.
