  This is TMI due to the max, but it illustrates and I’m describing, it’s cost a good amount in opportunity cost too but whatever. So I had IBS aka colon spasms to a debilitating degree and went to a couple highly-regarded doctors via my insurance including Kaiser and Blue cross in Seattle, but they said I was ok, and didn’t even do a referral to a gastroenterologist and just did blood panels. This destroyed my life and my relationship with my gf for a couple years and who I thought I was going to propose to, then it just mostly stopped. I’ll have the odd spasm now and again but nothing like it was from 2017-2021. Now I’m in the other side of the country and it doesn’t bother me like wtf it just went away. I’ve been screened for crohn's disease and ulcritive colitis and nothing came up. Sometimes our bodies are..strange.
