I'd
like to
think I might know what having
cramps is
like....
One of my testicals...
I don't know what exactly goes
wrong, but about
once a month or so ...something.... goes
wrong with
one of my testicals.
I've had it checked, its not
cancer or anything (thank
god)
I think it's something
wrong with the tube that attaches it...
like maybe its the beginnings of testicular tortion, but gets unspinned before it gets
really bad like swelling
up like a grapefruit and
shit.
In any case,
I call them my
man cramps.
I can't do anything but sit in the
bathroom massaging my balls and trying not to throw
up 'cause of that "kicked in the junk
feeling" that doesn't
go away for
hours.
Actually, its
like in that episode of the Venture Brothers
where Dean suffers from testicular tortion and cries
out "It's
like I got kicked in the junk but they never took their foot
away!"
It's
like that, only without the initial kick
feeling.... just that godamn nausea and
pain that comes with it, only lasting nearly
all day.
More than
you wanted to know about
me, huh?
edit -
As
I did say above -
I have seen doctors about it. They
said there's
nothing they can do about it unless it gets worse, and
I always fix it before it does, so... they are of
no use.
But, probably because I've used the shot before, I didn't have anything but the lightest period every three months, hooray for science.
But oh my god, that first month after I stopped the Depo... I just camped out on the couch with a heating pad and some cookies, trying not to say things like "Please god just hit me with lighting" outloud.
