Ailment Thread

Just be as careful as you can with the diabetes.

My aliment (I almost forget that is the thread I am in to go looking for it, I can't think of Sarah's baby and aliments in the same thought) My ailment is I am having continual issues with the old injuries in my upper back and neck. I am starting to get worried about how much worse it might get in the future, as well as with what exactly is going on now with it all, because it usually only bothers me enough to be an annoyance that occasionally decides to give me bad pain but then gets better and just annoys me again here and there. These days it is painful more often than it is not.

There is definitely something wrong in my upper spine between my shoulder blades, as well as with the muscles in my upper back on the right side and my right collar bone, I've known that for a decade, but now I'm realising it isn't going away or healing itself and I'm only going to get older with this problem. My high pain threshold worries me too about it, it could be much worse than I know.

I always forget to post in here and make a pointless announcement instead. Ah, well.

I haven't had anything diagnosed.

I guess I always had slight issues with my neck during my childhood, due to a traumatic birth. Always held my head just slightly tilted, only enough to really be noticed if someone was doing my hair and trying to get me to hold my head straight.

Then when I was 19 I was in a nasty car wreck, rear ended someone while I was going about thirty miles and hour and they were at a dead stop. That is when the pain really started. Plus I've been knocked around quite a lot in my life.

So I don't know what the issue is exactly, but that I know what caused whatever it is, most likely.

Pepper you should really get that looked at.

You should.

Because doctors are helpful.

Mine says, "Yeah, that might be permanent. Might not though! Too soon to tell. See me in two weeks."

I can't afford a doctor.

Though, then again, if they are as helpful as tuff's, maybe I should put out the $$$.

Fingers crossed for not permanent.

Also the hemangioma they found on my spine is the gathering of blood vessles that sometimes can be feeding a cancer source. That is why they did the bone scan. I am cancer free. That thing is what is giving me so much pain in my back, coupled with the fact that I was a gymnast for 13 years. I have an appointment on the 21st to talk to the doc about doing epidural injections, or pain management with pills. I am going with the non narcotic ofcourse.
But yeah Pepper there could be something going on in there that if you catch it now, can maybe be helped.

No cancer is great news.

Uh Yeah, definitely.

100%

Hurrah for no cancer!

The cult is completely dead today. That is my ailment.

I'm busy being sad about my cat. I'm no fun.

I love you.

Hehe.

I have a headache and I feel like a pincushion, I'm a wee bit teary too.

But I'm feeling mostly happy and ok too. That probably doesn't make sense.

I've been having mild but long running headaches all week (I think they're stress/tension headaches), I've been quite tired/lethargic all week, even when I seemed to have energy, it lasted only a few minutes before I sort of crashed again. And I've been nauseous a few times this week. And I was a bit dizzy today, which was bizarre.

Fano, my mom says you should eat something.

Well. She didn't. Because she's not here and she doesn't know you or that you're about to faint. But that's what she would say.

I just ate a bowl of cereal. But my friend got pissed at me yesterday because I wasn't eating enough and I was about to skip a meal. It's just that even though I'm hungry, I don't feel like eating.

I don't know, I'm not used to being ill, so when I feel bad like this, it's hard to tell what's causing it, and I just feel bad. But, I'm sure I'm fighting something off.

Could be a bit of a virus. Drink lots of water. Are you eating enough fruit and veg?

Eat some protein and green stuff. Even if it is just a small amount. If you haven't been eating well enough and are feeling sick you need to make what you do eat count. Cereal is mostly simple carbs that turn straight to sugar, and the milk you put on it turns to sugar quickly too. It will just make you rush and then crash fast, plus nothing but simple sugar is bad or the body when you are healthy.

And go rest. Stop trying to do things.

Also, try to get some garlic in you and vitamin C in you.

Do it! Consider this me mothering you. These are direct instructions.

Yeah, I think it is. I will. Probably not.

I eat a banana just about every morning, but I've been eating poorly, both in quantity and quality this week, because I get a big sweet tooth on the rare occasion that I do get sick.

Yes. And water. Lots of water.

Listen to Sarah and Pepper Fano. You need some fruits and veggies in your system, a little protein, and lots of greens. Garlic also works wonders. Oh and onions are good too. Just stinky though.

Will do, my ladies! I shall endeavor to take care of myself! Went to bed early because I felt like crap. Woke up after 10 hours of sleep. Feel good.

I am so freaking tired today. I went to bed at 10:30 and got up at 8:00 and all I want to do is sleep. I don't take naps and I'm not lazy. I don't even feel like going to the gym at all. What the hell is wrong with me?

You're stressed over babykitty, Alecia.

You're so busy too. You should give yourself the day off and try and rest and relax.

That's good advice, Sarah. I'm planning on taking it easy tomorrow.

there is a problem.
I am so itchy. I don't know what it is. I mean, I have notoriously dry skin, but this is different. it's been going on for like 2 weeks now but tonight it's terrible. I scratch and scratch and I can't fall asleep. it's mostly my wrists (sometimes I scratch them until they're raw) but also up and down my legs and on my stomach and sides.
I have no idea what's going on. I don't know if it's psychological or if I'm allergic to something or what. there's not infestation of anything in our apartment I'm fairly sure because tyler isn't having any symptoms and there are no signs of it.

it is driving me insane. I'm going to make a dermatologist appointment tomorrow.

I have the same thing, with all the body lotion I put on. I don't really know what's wrong. Last night it was my calves and it drove me mad.

Since I've been on insulin I can't rub oil on my belly, now it's itchy and the stretch marks are showing up so so bad, and stretching up and up and up, and it's only been a week. Ever since I found out I was preggers I rubbed oil on my belly twice a day. I realy miss it, not only because it prevents the itchiness, but because it was a couple of nice moments in the day where I could really focus on baby and smile at the amazing thing going on inside me.

Also, I went to physio today. I've got carpel tunnel and my hands/lower arms are all bandaged up, I even have to wear these funny arms braces to bed. My thumb is sprained too, so that's all taped up.

Tomorrow I got to the hospital for a scan (yay!), to do a neonatal unit tour, appointsment with the diabetes specialists and obstetrician, and see the lactation specialist. Phew.

I have long scratches on my legs and no idea how that happened.

Sounds like Eczema. Do you have damp in your apartment?

I don't have a rash or anything, there are no marks. and no, I don't.

Well, that's that then.

maybe it's leprosy

The whole cult is itchy.

I now have a cold. The first in more than a year. Sore throat, clogged nose (?) and mild headache. I hope it goes away because I don't wanna skip classes.

Can someone kiss my patellar surface? It's hurting somewhere in there, been on my feet all day. And I think I need a hug.

*DEATHHUG*

My cold has turned to runny nose and painful throat, so I'm not going to school today.

first thought after reading this:
the anterior or posterior part? THE CONDYLES OR THE EPICONDYLES?
or do you just mean your patella? THE BASE OR THE APEX?
this is what osteology has done to me.

This is what Anatomy has done to me in the first two weeks of class. I have anatomical Tourette's.

DELTOID TUBEROSITY!
lacrimal bone
ZYGOMATIC PROCESS OF THE TEMPORAL BONE
trochlear notch
SUBSCAPULAR FOSSA!!!!!

Fuck it! Now my left ear is clogged, I've run through a dozen Q-tips and still haven't managed anything. I hope it goes away because I gotta be in school in one hour and it won't be funny if I don't HEAR anything.

Agonising toothache! My dentist was replacing a shit filling she previously botched and now the filling is so deep it's very close to the nerve. She said I might need a root canal. This was a few weeks ago and I'm finally caving and admitting I'm going to have to have the root canal. I'm pretty miserable about it. Last time she did a root canal it got an abscess and it was THE WORST PAIN I've ever had, for days. I need a new dentist, mine is awful. She messes everything up and all the fillings she's done have come loose. I didn't used to take excellent care of my teeth but for years now I've brushed more than twice a day so I don't feel like its my fault.

I don't feel good today. I was lucky that they cancelled my lit class because I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have made it through without screaming. Right now I feel like I'm burning up. I hope that's just from the medicine I took and that I'm not coming down with something. I'll die if I am.

Please don't die. Drink something and have a good rest.

I'm drinking water and my mom told me to take a cool shower. I feel much better. I did have a little fever I hate having fevers reminds me of when I'd get them all the time and have to go to school or my grandma performing all her crazy remedies on me.
