Hello, NairaLanders...

I'm facing some problems now in my body, so I want all health specialists and doctors on nairaland to advise me.

It all happened in 2013 when a tumor started growing in my left lower jaw. For the sake of privacy, I won't mention the name of the hospital I went for checkup. I was diagnosed of Osifying Fibroma. Long story short, because of money, I couldn't go to the theatre. I was operated live on the chair. You heard that right. Right on the chair.

I saw as the tumor (taken out in chunks) were removed. But in the process of that surgery, something strange has happened since then.

Now, I feel intense pain in my chest, as if a 100-kg weight is laid on it. It gets more intense when I do activities like run, jump, or carry heavy things. Also, I noticed that toxic air now makes me choke and gives me pain on my chest.

As if that wasn't enough, now I feel an increase in body temperature everytime. It's not like people can all feel it when they touch me, but I do feel it. Have a cold shower? It'll still be high. Have a hot shower? It'll still be high. In fact, it combines itself with the intense pain.

The complicated part is that:

1) I feel the pain, but it doesn't have the effect of an headache or general body pain. For example, after running and feeling that pain on my chest, I'll just heave some deep breaths and relax for some minutes and the pain will be reduced to the minimum.

2) I don't always feel the increase in temperature. For example, while in the bus. You know that breeze flow while the bus is moving, so it cools me down. But immediately after I alight and start walking home, it comes back. It might subside for a while because of the heat the walking is producing on my body, but when I get home, it comes with full force. Like the intense pain, I'll have to relax for sometime before it reduces to the minimum.

Now imagine me feeling this two at the same time.

I'm saying all this so that you can know what I'm going through. I've worked in factories, multimedia companies, and even poultry farms, but my body can't take it anymore with what I'm experiencing.

For your information, I don't plan to do strenght-tasking job for a profession. I want to be a full-time writer. That's the only job I can do now all day without complaining.

Please, no blame or criticizing game like our president here. I have suffered this body a lot. I was living alone (when I was 15) in an area of Ogun State and working in a fish-rearing farm. Sometimes, I could go a day without food. Sometimes, I could go a day and a half without food. There was some time that after working in the farm, I just went to a corner to rest. Shout I no 'gree answer. Beg I no 'gree answer. I was extremely tired.

I was even sick one of those days that my lower lip's skin peeled off. It was that bad.

Now, I'm wondering what it could be:

1) I'd been diagnosed of Typhoid when I was small. Is it because I worked the Typhoid-infested body that brought it to this?

2) Is it because I was too young to be going through such at that time. You can't imagine how trekking to and from work was for me then. You remember all that time when we would trek from school at an average speed of 5 steps per seconds? That's how I walk. Yet, I would still use about an hour and 30 minutes trekking. Multiply that by two and you have three hours of an average of 5 steps by seconds. Yes, including Sundays and Saturdays.

Please, what could be wrong with me. Is it that I'm lazy? ...stubborn? ...weak? Or is it because I just viewed it that way?

And yes, leave God out of this matter "abeg." God didn't tell me to work my ass off Mondays to Sundays at age 15. In case you're wondering, I'm a Christian and born again, so don't bring the issue of "God will take control." Yes, He can. But if he doesn't, that won't stop me from following Him. Again, miracles happen to be the talk of the town. Why is it called miracle, anyway?

Awaiting your thoughtful, unbiased, non-Name Checking, non-zombiesm, non-wailing, anti-bigotry reply.

So, if I believe there's no God, that would cure my pain abi? Did you read the post at all. For your information, this one's already taken by Jesus.

Back to the post, did you read that going a day without food happened a few years back? Was it my intention? Did I tell you I was fasting?

Just do what you know how to do, bro, make plenty people can talk their mind for here. have a nice day.

Stop this your long sermon and go to the hospital as soon as possible. From all you have said, it shows clearly all is not well with you healthwise.

You just called it a long sermon, right? Imagine you are the doctor to attend to me, will you believe this kind of story? By the way, I'm going there this week.
