    I was told by a doctor at 12 that I should never drink soda, caffeine, alcohol, or smoke to try to reduce stomach pain.

    Also I’m a male so it can’t be period pains or pregnancy.

      Haha oh yeah and I was in character responding to your fake useless doctor.

      The things lazy doctors always wanna blame: Weight Pregnancy Period Smoking Lack of sleep Stress

      The last one is fun, because how do you argue you’re not stressed? I can prove I’m not the other ones. But I’m here for the 4th time this year, I spent all last weekend vomiting after following the laid out diet perfectly, yes, yes I’m stressed!

      I’m just playing off the fact that no matter what your problem is doctors will always tell you to stop smoking.

      Broke your arm? Stop smoking.
      Etc etc

        It’s really fucking shit honestly, I’ve left doctors over that.

        Yes, I know I need to quit smoking, but that’s an entirely separate issue from whatever the fuck is causing my foot to swell up like a balloon

          I know what you say is true in your case.

          But it is unfortunatly not that uncommon that people have to amputate a leg or 2 due to complications from smoking.
