So, just a quick message to say that I've got an appointment with a neurologist next Friday.  And the nurse who set up the appointment was sorry she didn't manage to find a slot sooner "but at least you get an awesome doc.  He's really good."  That's ok, I really don't mind.  Now I'm just waiting for word from my GP (who's awfully busy today), to ( Read more... )

The new buzzword among MS-diagnosed and their friends and relatives. 
( More about CCSVI, MS, and me )

According to this poll, cited on Mashable, 10% of under 25's think it's ok to text while having sex.  And 6% of those above 25 think it's completely fine, too.  Really?  While having sex?  Becase, in my book, having sex means making love, and there's no room for a mobile phone in that scenario.  To me making love involves a 100% focus on my partner ( Read more... )

Because, as I am on a mission to get my vit. D levels increased so that they get to optimal level (and not stay at less than half of recommended), I am trawling the web for science reports about MS and Vit. D.  And I just discovered that it's actually as much as 50 - fifty! - years since the correlation between MS and Vit.D/lack of sunshine was ( Read more... )

Godlet was home from school all of last week, because he'd shed his winter coat a bit too early and the sharp spring air had done it's work.  Like it always does.  I remember walking into the same trap each spring myself, but I did eventually learn.  So now I make sure I'm keeping my warmth, but that doesn't help much when I have a not-so-little ( Read more... )

- for hubby's cousin's company.  If you're at Facebook, you can become a fan.  If not, and you wonder what this is, take a look at their website.  They've been working at this for quite some time, ever since a friend of her took her Master in Industrial Design (same institute I was at) on sensual toys.  Now, I have some mixed feelings (not so ( Read more... )

Several things to be grateful and thankful for in my life, here are seven of them:

1. I got an ubercool CD in the mail some days ago, and I'm really enjoying myself.  I'ts the Dolby Decades by John Shuttleworth, and it's great fun.  While some stuff has me thinking "okay, there's some cultural reference here I don't get," most are global enough to make ( Read more... )

A mere 15 minutes left, and we're entering the 24th.  And I'm far from done.  I wonder if I'll ever be?  Maybe the year I don't spend several days knocked out flat before solstice because of nauseating, head-splitting, teeth-pushing, eye-popping headache.  Maybe then.  At least not this year.  And we're not even having Jul here.  We'll be going to ( Read more... )

I just want to share with you what I think is one of the most beautiful parts of winter - the blue hour.  The hour before sunrise or after sunset the world turns blue.  I've just been enjoying the blue light outside and then I remembered I actually took a picture a few days ago, to show you guys.  Because if you don't experience it, it's hard to ( Read more... )

Though - how often do I post non-RL updates?  Not that often, but I'm not so sure that's a loss.( Read more... )
