Hey all,

I hope you're all doing well!
I recently have been experiencing pain in my oesophagus when swallowing. It feels like a huge chicken bone is stuck in my chest, and everytime I swallow, both solids and liquids, I feel intense pain in my chest.

So naturally I got scared when it hadn't gone away after 3 days, so I went to the doctor, who said I've got *insert huge medical term* reflux. In a nutshell, my oesophagus is inflamed, due to reflux. This can happen due to stress, poor diet, not eating 3 meals a day, not eating at the correct times of the day, eating too much per meal, too much smoking and alcohol consumption, amongst other things. I can only put it down to not eating 3 meals a day at the correct times. Maybe even stress.

So yeh, basically I'm in a lot of pain. I never would've thought it was reflux, it doesnt burn or anything. It's moreso a sharp stab-like feeling in the centre of my chest. I can't even have a drink!

So I've been given medication, and I also have to stay off curries, citrus and alcohol, and eater smaller more frequent meals. At the moment I'm eating soups.

In other news, I was chosen to be 1 of 4 lead character designers out of 80 students, for a large scale project at Uni. I'm so happy and honoured!!!

ALSO!!!

I'm open to suggestions for what I should put in my Featured Deviation spot. 'Black & White 2' has been there for ages, but I'm not sure what I should replace him with. Any suggestions?

That's all kids, take care.
