Yeah, scary stuff. Last year I had constant, nagging pain in my stomach muscles (always felt like I'd worked out my abs hard the night before) for a few months. I finally started having pain so severe that I could not just take painkillers and suffer through. I go see a doctor, and they diagnose me with pancreatitis and place me in the hospital immediately.

Apparently my pancreas had not been particularly useful for a few months, as they thought I had diabetes (untrue) based on my A1C. Ended up spending 7 of the following 8 weeks either hospitalized or in my bed with a feeding tube in. Fun stuff (note: sarcasm).

Anyway, I waited so long to see a doctor because running a business takes all of your time. If I'd been an employee, wouldn't have even questioned taking a day off to go see one. So meh, have to learn to do better / realize I'm still a person.
