While I wouldn’t say it’s a cure it has helped decrease local swelling to the point I can genuinely test what is going on. http://www.fprmed.com/Pages/Trauma/Costochondral_Seperation.html Go down two more ribs and that’s where mine is. I finally was able to do a very gentle test of the hook manoevre and I did at least find…

sigh
I have one of the only, if not the only plugin capable of reblogging instagram posts. But It doesn’t actually automatically do so and I have to set it to pending/draft then edit to “published” because otherwise it just shows the code- my guess is the post publishes faster than WP can add the media…
So tired again
I try to not be around people (online or off) when I am this tired, and now I have a lovely reminder why- I simply can’t communicate properly. And on the other hand when I am this tired my eyes tend to go dead and I look furious. Actually I look in pain but it…
final round of tidying
(it is a happy post, honest!) Managed to go through all my paperwork. Found all the shows I had been in. All the travel documents. What the heck-most was from before I was 25. I was working full time, doing theatre, training at the gym (a spot of stunt training too), doing charity, and travelling….
fatigue
I struggle to explain how I can tell I have fatigue versus being tired. It does physically feel like pressure. But I think that veers a bit close to what is said is experienced in high anxiety. It’s not the same. This is more like standing chest high in water and trying to breathe. It’s not…
Why I never ask myself “why me” about my disease.
There is a black hole in the middle of our galaxy, probably in the middle of every galaxy. Our sun which we need to live also kills us.* Every living thing either depends on the lives of others or has others depend on them. There is an electromagnetic dawn chorus most of us never hear. Some…
okay, interesting reading on bone loss
I was trying to find some real research on costs and benefits of non-medicine therapy (diet and exercise) and it’s pretty much all reliant on assumptions. Also no real follow up. Long term is not two years. Not when you are living with a genuinely long term disease. For example, the bone loss thing. It’s…
fatigue
Having constant fatigue is like driving without a fuel gauge. You can often make calculations to make sure you don’t get into trouble. But in order to do that you need to make calculations constantly- fuel in fuel out is not always a simple measure of how far you go but also about conditions and…
lessons from masterchef australia
I really hope the executives who are in charge of Masterchef Australia continue to let it be the incredibly positive bright spot it is. I have watched since the beginning and am so very happy to find people in recent years have come to love it as much as I do. So, I recently had…
cleves progress
Today the carpal tunnel injections have proven their worth 🙂 If I can do this one or two more times before I have to have surgery I’ll be happy. Sounds like I need my ulna’s chopped off sooner, but, maybe? Also I may have gone through 1/4 of my Hot Cinnamon Sunset tea. Now if…
