Thanks Michael, I'm sure I'm just being typically male about an illness.

mega did you actually have an upper endoscopy (scope down your throat)? or at least a radiologic study (upper GI, not just a plain xray)? if not you don't really know for sure if you have an ulcer and your doctor is probably just guessing. ulcer is sometimes a trashcan diagnosis like migraine headaches or irritable bowel disease or arthritis
if you really have a bleeding ulcer you will either be vomiting blood, crapping black tar, or both. if not you're probably fine.
do you take a lot of aspirin/nsaids (ibuprofen) or have other particular risk factors?

Jaco, I won't go into symptoms ,as it's a bit disgusting, but it pretty much points towards one. I have a long history of digestive issues, none caused by painkillers (I hardly use any). I have a three week course of Omeprazole, and if that doesn't sort things I'll be booked in for an endoscopy. The British NHS doesn't like to carry out any form of hospital procedure, unless they are absolutely sure that it is necessary (cost cutting and all that good stuff). I have a blood test next week to check how much HB I've lost.
Monday, I'll grow a pair once I stop myself reading internet diagnosis websites

I am the worlds most incompetent decorator. I decided that the wall behind the bed, which was where the jeans racking used to be, and had thus taken on a random indigo patina, needed to be painted.
Result, I now need to paint the ceiling because my cutting-in is so crap, I have paint on my Devil's, RW and the floor…..
-
really you painted over the indigo wall? it had to be pretty bad for you to paint over it . . . waiting for pictures of your painted gear.
** let me go look for the picture of the jeans you have that look like you dipped them in a few cans of paint . . .

Here:
This is a pair of 634S I beat the living crap out of renovating the house, the last major job I did wearing them was painting. These were about 2 years old when I stopped wearing them, probably about 20 washes including a few mega-hot (see leather patch). I occasionally pull them on for special occasions - like creosoting the fence….
-
My freakin neighbour received my package containing the 634SBs and went on holidays! Not at home for over one week… Damn.
-
Not sure about that…I only know he's been gone for one week now, but he could also do a sabbatical, I don't know.
