I know what you mean ren. There's nothing on me, (and the pics I've seen of you ren you don't look fat to me:)) Kinda cute too, I like your grin, somerhing tells me you've got one of those infectious type ones when used in meatspace. But I certainly know what you mean about breathing fire. I've been having some awful acid reflux, on not quite, but not too far from everything they can throw at me. Most of anything I could tolerate anyway and its still of only moderate help.
Got a letter in the mail the other day, telling me I've got a hospital appointment for a gastroscopy, going to stick a camera down my throat and into my stomach. I shudder to think how far its going to carry on going.
