Brain In-sane

May 20, 2019 13:13

The brain/dementia pain is still there today, but not as much - and today I actually have the ability to think and do things. During relapses, or such, I can look at a darkening sink-ful of dishes, etc., and I SEE it, and I realize it is defined as, "a mess,' but I have zero feeling about it, as to washing it, even if I had the energy to do so.

Rejoice in doing dishes... so much yes. I COMPLETELY understand. I’ve nearly finished my first hard copy book that I’ve started reading. First one ever for 5 years because the fine motor and weight required to turn and hold pages open is too much. Thank god for iBooks but they’re just not the same as physically holding a book and getting away from screens.

It pains me that you have these difficulties. But great, finishing the book! It has been years since I've read a fiction book, cuz of my own special problems. Dealing with bright computer screen is another one.

Speaking of pains in the neck, I had very bad and strange pain in the back of neck, and shoulders. Very intense. Unable to lift head while in bed. I am thinking this was the FMS part of my CFS speaking. Lots of sleep and magnesium eventually took care of it, mostly. Maybe magnesium (w/vitamin C) will help you.

Ever seen, "Night On Earth" (movie 1991)? I just now watched it, (again). Great movie. Now I must rest this migraine a bit and take my dog out - 2:30am.

I always appreciate your comments. I hope the bridesmaid issue is resolving. Take care!

Thank you. I bought a book holder on eBay which has helped, but I’ve figured out old small books are okay as they’re so used to being opened.

I’m sorry to hear your intense neck pain, but great you found a solution or at least something that helped soothe it. I’ve tried magnesium previously, good idea I might try it again. Had a bit of a flareup so worth a try. Women’s times seem to be the worst for some reason. Hope that’s not tmi.

Never heard of it actually, I’ll see if I can find it.

Thank you, and I you. Thank you- that’s kind of you to remember. That resolved but we had another spat last night, but again at this time of month I may be over sensitive and she knew she was in the wrong too this time.

Hope you get some good rest. Oh- are you on any other social platforms?

Ps I meant to add have you looked into audiobook apps? That’s where I get my reading fix these days. Nearly finished Frankenstein.
