Is "stool" the right word to use for "poo" when I'm talking to my doctor. Also when I'm telling him about my s**t pipe do I refer to it as my rectum or is that not the right word.

I'm not embarrassed about these things but I just don't know what words to use

The nerve pain in my pelvis is finally chilling out now.

That was a bad one

It's hard to distinguish between whether it's an actual need to pee or if it's nerve pain sometimes. It's all consuming

I think a course of amitriptyline might be in order again

Stool is indeed the correct word for poop.

There's the rectum and then there the anal canal. The anal canal is where your poop flows through to the toilet and the rectum is where the poop is stored, I believe.

I don't know why I should have to say all these posh words to the doctor. I might just keep it real and talk in my own words or I'll just get mixed up

I feel sorry for people who have to live with the use of only one arm or even with no arms at all because there's definitely a case to be made for having three arms sometimes

For instance I just came through from the kitchen carrying a cup of tea in each hand but I had to go back for the bars of chocolate.

If I'd have had three arms then I would only have had to make one trip

A third arm could come in handy, I reckon!

Maybe it could be mounted on one's back and retract into a biological pouch. :lol:

I lost my voice twice in my life.

I mean literally I couldn't physically speak.
There was no pain. I didn't have a sore throat or anything like that but I just simply lost my voice.

And then just like that it came back.

The same thing happened another time but with my hearing. I went deaf. Not just partially but I couldn't hear a thing. No ear ache or anything. I just went deaf. My bf at the time thought I was doing it on purpose because he got stuck up a ladder and was shouting for my help from outside and I just couldn't hear him.

And then just like that it came back.

When things are normal I don't really notice the weight of my own head but any little niggle or strain on my neck and I absolutely cannot ignore it.

My weight seems to go up and down within a range of 9 pounds, which seems quite a lot.
