for the past week, any time i try to swallow food part of it is getting stuck in the back of my mouth and my throat. i have to drink water with everything i eat or the food will not go down.

is this nothing to worry about? or should i start digging my own grave?

You're going to die. I'm not sure when, but I'm certain you're going to die.

ooh. that sounds a lot like it.

i think i will try to find a ENT doctor. or maybe just a general doctor first.

Yes, go find yourself a doctor. You will feel better once you know what's going on. Get all the things that are bugging you checked out.

It might be lupus.

just north of 30, and i know exactly what you mean!

in the last year i have gotten the following problems:

- can't eat fried foods anymore without getting diarrhea
- ear starts popping and clicking every time i jog or climb stairs
- feel dizzy like i'm going to pass out every few days for no reason
- had stomach pains so bad i couldn't go pee for a solid day
- and now stuff getting stuck in my throat

each one of the things has made me think i should tell a doctor, but then i tell someone and they say "oh you're just getting old". so i haven't gone yet.

Also, I believe I am first to call dibs on your stuff.

You're still in Ohio, so I also will have an easy time retrieving said stuff.

Please don't die, but if you find yourself planning on it, remember my claim! :p
