    ..hahaha LOL only kidding, but now I have your attention.

    7 years old, got appendicitis - it burst, very painful.. had it removed!

    After the op, my appearance and general health declined.

    Ever since that operation I have had heavy bouts of depression and ill health... not to mention an over reacting immune system, yes I have had seriously bad allergies ( especially itching ) ever since.  

    I used to take an antihistamine pill every the itching came, now I take one or two everyday because I prefer a peaceful pain free life.

    If I had the choice today and knowing what I know now about the appendix and its not so obsolete functions ... I would rather DIE!
