Vomiting

 I have been vomiting a lot. Like, collectively, most of November and carrying into December. It is really exhausting, and I lost quite a bit of weight. It forced me to examine every aspect of my life {since I don't have health care}, and I saw some major issues creeping back up with anxiety, so I worked on that. And now, I have to rediagnose, since I really did correct the anxiety. I believe what I am dealing with is called bile reflux.

When I was in sixth grade, my gall bladder was taken out. The tube leading to the gall bladder itself was too small, and it was causing pretty awful stomach pains. Not queasy, but painful and doubling over. I only recently really looked into the movement of bile through the body, and realized that, because I don't have a gall bladder to store bile, my liver releases it into my small intestine, which has been recently backing up into my stomach. I figured that out because Sunday I actually inspected the vomit, and it was clearly bile. It hurt to throw up and tasted disgusting.

So, with that in mind, I ate pizza yesterday with pepperonis on it and paid the price today. I have to reconfigure my eating habits because I am so exhausted with throwing up all the time. Good news is that I did pay for health insurance for the upcoming year so at least I can see a doctor about it.
