Mental note: add KFC to the list of fast food I can't eat any more. This level of fog and energy drain just isn't worth it ( Read more... )

I've realized, recently, that there's a very good reason that I've never quite known what to call these things I get. The symptoms never really quite matched with anything else. The closest correlation is probably a panic attack; they come on suddenly, hit like a ton of bricks, and I may very well sit there shaking and hyperventilating. The thing ( Read more... )

Went to a baby shower for most of the day today, where I got a large chemical overdose (which sucks, but whatever, I'll manage). I noticed when I got home, though, that when I'm overloaded either my touch gets much, much lighter, or the electrical impulses in my fingers actually decrease. I use the touch-pad on the laptop for both moving and ( Read more... )
