Living With Ulcers and Acidity for Over a Decade
Patient name: Stephen Age: 40 Diagnose: Duodenal ulcer Hi, my name is Stephen. I am a 40 years old bar owner and I have been living with a duodenal ulcer and acidity for over a decade. This is my story. Now, when I say over a decade, I am talking about the time that passed since I was diagnosed with a duodenal ulcer. However, when I look back at my life with the experience that I have now, I realize that I have been experiencing the symptoms of this condition probably since my late teens. I guess that back then I was able to find my way around the disease, never thinking that I would need to see the doctor, or that something could be seriously wrong with my health. That and the symptoms not being severe helped too. But let me back you up a bit on my story. I was a healthy and active child growing up in a normal family and a pretty safe neighborhood. The school was fine and I had some good friends. I cannot remember anything bothering me, especially about my life. I guess it was all that normality that made me seek a kind of an adventure.
