The Hiko Lies

Apr 15, 2013 16:30

I was going to post this weekend, but I got very caught up in things! Mostly, I spent the weekend unpacking, watching stuff on YouTube (TMNT 2 is on YouTube in it's entirety!!), shopping at Costco (booooo no poptarts!!), and I have no idea what I did yesterday. XD Did I even leave the house?

So, some updates!

Thanks for posting updates! I don't really know the whole picture of what's been going on in your life lately so they are much appreciated.

Good job for moving on to a new place and job where you'll be happy!

Yeah. My old job left me no time to journal about what has been going on, and I've finally had enough space from that intensity that I feel comfortable enough to relax and breath.

It's too early to tell how this new job will pan out, but I AM enjoying it and it makes me more or less happy so far. Living with the boy is a big bonus, I think. :)

With your health problem, if you consume things properly, will it not present itself at all? Chronic health things are so difficult. I've been dealing with a neurological condition that's causing atypical trigeminal neuralgia as a side effect, and it's made my life hell, it's now there 24/7. They can't cure it, I'm a weird situation apparently, even to people who specialize in these things. I'm finally in college, and my classmates/teachers see me missing class and just think I'm some sketchy person when I really desperately love science, I'm just in so much pain and on 5 medications and sometimes I can't make it to class or even if I do, I'm really zonkered from med side effects/TN pain. Eye movement hurts on the right side, so it's hard to focus on my lab reports and homework and especially my tests, which require intense consideration and the accompanying eye motion needed for reading ( ... )

I've been trying to sort out what exactly I eat that sets off feeling like crap (it's not celiac disease--the amount of gluten I consume would have out and out killed me by now I think), but it's gotten to a manageable place without meds. It's all stress related, so I am giving my body and mind some time to recover from the stress of everything before I decide if I need to go back to medicine. But I think I am mostly all right.

Having this illness has made me more aware of chronic illnesses and I am much more sympathetic to those with them. While my symptoms are an inconvenience at best and awful at worst, I know it could be worse. Since getting a diagnosis and finding the right combo of meds, I've been doing better. I'm lucky in the realm of diseases.

Thank you so much. :) We may indeed be intermittent Internet friends, but it's still nice to have people who are happy for me being happy. I'm SO happy to hear that you are in college now too! I must have missed that. :) Congrats, I know that had been something that you really ( ... )

Hahahaha! Man, it's like blowing off the dust of a once loved but forgotten toy. Sadness.

Yeah, we do. I have been SUPER slack lately, and have taken to evenings of cuddling up to someone who would rather play computer games. XD Alas! I am on aim whenever the computer is open, feel free to poke me if you see me online. :)
