Yes, I had a virus that passed through me like that a couple of years ago. I worked until 9 or so that night, but by 8:30 I had a headache and the chills. I got out to my car and couldn’t stop shivering for about 10 minutes. I couldn’t drive for about 20 minutes (fortunately I live 6-7 minutes away). I had a fever of around 101. Went to bed at 9:30, slept like the dead until 7 the next morning and felt fine. Very weird.

Round two at the doc's today. I've now moved onto an inhaler. Just kinda pissed that I was doing good as far as less coughing guys but when into a coughing session that lasted like 5-10 minutes.
What kinda freaked me out was when they did my vitals, I was reading something like 150/110. I questioned it, said that I never ever read that high. They had another PA come in and take the reading, and it read 125/81.

Big toe is either broken or severely stubbed. I’ll report back in the morning on how far the bruising travels

This is a little personal and I apologize in advance for asking, but...
For the fellas out there. Do you ever experience groin pain when you haven't... purged the pipes in a little while? I worry a bit about testicular cancer because the pain radiates into my lower back and it gets pretty darn uncomfortable, but this only happens during those times where I haven't emptied things out, and everything else down there seems normal.

P.S. Google search how to perform a check. And check.
Also, why you wait so long? Get some Dran-O and clean those pipes!

Yeah, I've done self exams and everything seems well within the normal range, no irregularities, etc. So that's good. I guess I just assumed, at 40 years of age now, the pipes didn't need much use.

I’ll be 50 in two weeks.

I don’t say that to say something is wrong. I say that to say it sounds serious enough that I’d go see a doctor if I was you.

I guess maybe. But I always thought of bb as getting turned on and not getting to finish. I'm an old man now so I seldom have that problem. But the pain after several days of staying pure is pretty darn annoying. Are you supposed to empty your pipes every few days to prevent this? They never taught me this in Health class.

Not a doctor, but the symptoms you're describing could be caused by epididymitis, which is an infection or inflammation of the tubes connecting the testes to the vas deferens. I had some groin pain back in college that was diagnosed as epididymitis. Its symptoms sound a lot like what you're describing. For example, epididymitis pain can be significant and can radiate throughout the groin and even seem like back pain. Pain from epididymitis can also sometimes be relieved by a "pipe cleaning." It can be caused by infection, or there's also a "chronic" form that happens when there is stress to the lower back. See your doctor, who may refer you to a urologist.This is a little personal and I apologize in advance for asking, but...

Fairly certain my MIL is going to die in 2018, meaning my wife will lose both of her parents in a span of about 6 to 18 months to cancer. Her cancer has come back, has spread to her bones. They can't pinpoint the origin and chemo is not touching it.
I want to be a good husband as I have been through my wifes sickness in 2013 and all that entails to this day, and her father getting sick in 2016 and dying in 2017. It's the second week of 2018 and now we have this on our horizon, I am not sure I have much more to give.

Damn, that's a tough road. Really sorry to hear that.

I knew she was going to have a hard winter but this isn't what I envisioned. It's selfish to say but I'm just tired of watching my wife fight to be happy and then get kicked in the gutter at every turn. It's hard.

I know what you mean. I saw the same thing with my mom. Her dad died from cancer, then her mother went into a deep depression, eventually leading to 8 miserable years with Alzheimer's. My grandmother finally died in Nov of 2012 and I thought my mom would have a chance to be happy. Then in August of 2013 her husband/my dad was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. The hits just keep on coming. Life sucks sometimes.
