dull ache or suffering, accompanied by spaciness, sometimes sharper or more
pronounced, to the right of my stomach.  stimulation of my spleen-pancreas
meridian would relieve symptoms, as did removing food items which are
stressful for the pancreas, like bread or sugar.  i suppose the spleen was
also involved.

everything is a mystery, but i'm as sure as sure can be when dealing with
internal organs.
