How are you feeling right now? (Pt 2)

[Trigger 11]

Headache most of the day.

Also a bit pissed and frustrated. Finally had a diagnosis and went for the surgical consult today, but they want to do another test. It has taken ten years to get to this point and now a few more weeks. I just want to be fixed.

Pyraxis, did you have a new baby?

There's a thread in the elder section.

Joint pain.

Im not sure if youve already considered this, but CBD (hemp oil) can help with inflammation.

Have you tried yoga? Mediation? Juice cleanse? Tumeric? Soul bartering? Venerating the sun? Jabbing yourself with a hot stick? Eating your own tongue?

Have you tried... not being in pain?

Have you tried 'have you trieds'? They're the new craze!

Joint pain.

Im not sure if youve already considered this, but CBD (hemp oil) can help with inflammation. I hope it subsides and you are enjoying your days inspite of it.

The last time I had more of a presence here (and a presence of mind), you were on your way to fly to DC (i think.....) to give a presentation at a conference... how did it pan out in the grand scheme of things? or did I already ask about it all those years ago?

The DC conference is an annual event and I've spoken there for years. Mostly, it's gone really well although one of the people who organise the conference says I was really rubbish once. The other presentations were great but one was pretty bad.

I think that's OK in the grand scheme of things. I don't know which one of my talks that was the bad one and didn't dare to ask - after all, this is feeding my insecurities so I never will.

Joint pain is not uncommon with me these days. Shaking people's hands is awful, right now, because some of the smaller joints in my hand are sore and hurt like hell when somebody squeezes them.

Ehlers-Danlos? That's pretty common among Autistics.

Odeon's post about handshakes reminded me of one of my pet peeves.

Sometimes you go to shake someone's hand and as you extend your hand they grab you around the fingers and squeeze the fuck out of them.

What is that all about? Some kind of "alpha male" posturing thing? I'm very much a beta male.

I have really big hands. For a lot of people playing an octave on a standard piano is a stretch. That's 8 notes. I can play a 10 note chord easily and if I stretch I can play an 11 note chord (not that there really is such a thing, but the 10 note chord does come in handy for some pieces). Maybe that's got something to do with it, not wanting their hand to get lost in mine or something.

Psoriatic arthritis. Inflammation after inflammation.

I can certainly do 8 or 9 notes. Trying to think now why I'd do 10.

Damn that sucks

Visitors today.

The older I get the more I want to hide under the bed with the cats.

[Pyraxis]

Tired.

Sometimes, yes. It could have been worse, though - psoriatic arthritis is rarely destructive.

[font==emo]Not too good. Can’t sleep. Headache. Pain in lower back and down left cheek and leg. Feeling this bad exacerbates my lonelieness and emptiness. Oh well! Maybe I will fall asleep eventually. At least then I won’t have to think about it anymore. Well...not until I wake up again.[/emo] *sigh*

[renaeden]

Wheezy.
