i hear ya. i have cirrhosis from college :( now i cant drink much without getting shooting pain in my jaw. i partied too hard i guess... i think it was mixing pain killers i needed to take. i didnt want an injury to interupt my partying... but i guess drinking keystone, natural light, corona, guiness, devils springs, and moonshine didn't work like i had planned. (well actually, i wanted to get fucked up... so maybe it worked alittle too much like i wanted) .... sigh, i kinda miss drinknig.
