First time for everything I guess

The last two days have been painful. It was pretty much the usual pain in the usual places except for a really, really sharp pain in my left side just below my ribs. I often feel like something is going into a spasm there, but this is pain. Nothing seems to help.

Today was the first time that I have woken up with the really bad pains. I usually wake up with some minor aches but this was like the full blown pain. Again, nothing seems to help. It is still with me after two hours. It feels like it maybe easing a little... Or maybe I am just getting used to it.
