Coping and control

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

Well, I’ve been having a really bad flare up that’s been ongoing since the night I was in emergency a couple of weeks ago now. For a while I just kind of gave up to the pain and the fatigue and the overwhelming barrage of symptoms. I comforted myself with crappy junk food that was [...]

Pain

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

I’m blogging my pain, because I need to try to ‘process’ it somehow, have some semblance of control over something that has so much control over me.
I woke up this morning in pain. Pain is my alarm clock. I fight it in the mornings, trying to use some form of mental willpower as a snooze [...]

From wiser minds than mine…

“Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.” ~ Buddha.
“I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love
will have the final word in reality.
This is why right, temporarily defeated,
is stronger than evil triumphant.” ~ Martin Luther King Jr.
“I offer you peace. I offer [...]

Constipation

Friday, March 14th, 2008

Yup, you read right, I’ve been suffering with chronic constipation for over a year. Yes I poop. But not without ‘assistance’. Over time I’ve had to take larger and larger amounts of lactulose in order to have a movement. Lactulose is a product that is a stool softener and brings water into the bowels. It’s [...]

Confused pain

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

I have a weakness of the heart. Toxic relationships with women.
I find it so hard to cope with women that are catty, or cruel. Particularly strong powerful women that are so. Worse of all is when they are nice to your face, and mean behind your back. It brings up stuff from childhood, from school, [...]

The Ides of March

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

“In March, July, October, May
The Ides fall on the fifteenth day
The Nones the seventh; all besides
Have two days less for Nones and Ides.”
 
Well there’s fun planned for this 15th of March, probably too much planned. We’re bringing stuff over to the neighbours driveway early in the morning on Saturday to garage sale with them till [...]

small things

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

This journal entry started with one letter, one letter holds little meaning, it became a word, with greater meaning, which in turn became part of a sentence with an even larger meaning. This sentence will become part of a larger paragraph, then a set of paragraphs that explore a larger concept or concepts. Everything in [...]

Luna now Balloona

Monday, March 10th, 2008

Our pug Luna is about 44 days pregnant now, with about 19 left to go.. her whelping date is expected to be around the 29th. She’s going to get a lot bigger still,  but she’s definitely inflating at an almost alarming rate. All she wants is food and belly rubs…

Ugh

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

So visited my family Dr. today, going to be increasing my dose of Lyrica for my fibromyalgia, he says it’s common not to notice any effect yet, especially at such a low beginning dose. I get to take more pills. (insert sarcastic tone here) Joy.  He looked at my throat and it’s giant inflamed tonsils [...]

Hare’s Psychopathy checklist

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

Dr. Hare is considered a leading expert in the field of psychopathy. Working out of UBC he’s a local as well. He developed one of the few diagnostic tools to evaluate whether someone is a psychopathic personality. Please don’t use this checklist to ‘diagnose’ friends or loved ones, etc. Even as someone trained in the [...]

3 small raging infections

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

I had a sore throat a few days ago, that same day I got a little papercut on the knuckle of my left pointer finger, I also had my right nipple barbell tear the piercing a hole a bit that morning.  Despite my best efforts to kill bacteria and other nasties in these areas, all [...]
