Long Covid, Fibro, and Vaccines 23 mon
Long Covid and Fibromyalgia, and Hep C, and vaccines might be related.
lI was trying to post about the connection of various Fibro type conditions, but I was in too much pain and too fatigued.
Then, I was trying to post about Global Warming but my device overheated.
Shortened post - chronic pain and fatigue are symptoms common to Long Covid and also Fibromyalgia.
Interesting.... Then I read a study saying "43% of Hep C infected patients developed Fibromyalgia".
Ah HA!! And that new investigations, aided by medical science advances developed during the Covid pandemic, showed how ANTIBODIES co ... read more Long Covid, Fibro, and Vaccines 23 mon

Viral cause of chronic pain, eg Fibromyalgia

Recent research has not been as dismissive of "chronic pain without injury" as they used to be. Investigations into VIRAL causes has found a connection - "43% of Hep C patients had Fib4omyalgia". That is just one study, but there are many with varying pe4c3ntages of c4ossover.
The ANTIBODIES produced in reaction to the Hep C infection are creating inner action -"extra nerves" - and hence increased pain sensitivity. Problems wit( blood cause heat and cold sensitivity, is anoth ... read more Chronic Pain viral cause 23 mon

An adventure - an unbroken string of medically disabling insults were thrown at me over these past three years.
It started, in ernest with real disabling pains, about three years ago.
I was disappointed all the more by the fact that I was preparing to delve into a music studio project, and the pain stopped me. It was no big deal, just my home studio and my own songs, and I play all the parts, but it was something for me to really chew on, and that is where I thrive. That first one was a hernia, needing a ssurgical repair. Hernias do not always cause pain, but this one had trapped a nerve and it felt like my toddler had just knee’d me in the knackers again. As in ”an elephant is ... read more Leader's Brain Disease 3 y
Political and business leaders have limited ability to see certain negatives.
You might remember a few years ago I blogged about a condition called "Leader’s Brain Disease". At that time, a few psychologists did some MRIs of the brains of CEOs, and found that most of them lack a particular circuit in the decision making pathways of the brain - a final hurdle that demands to know "Is this a good idea overall?" before saying YES to any proposition.
In business, and politics, not having that hurdle allowa the afflicted to exude great confidence -voters love that.
Lacking that encumbrance allows a business lead ... read more Are Fibromyalgia and Trigeminal Neuralgia related? 3 y
Curious if Trigeminal Neuralgia and Fibromyalgia are related conditions, I asked the TN group if anyone had Fibro too....
Are Fibromyalgia and Trigeminal Neuralgia related?
I posted this question on the Trigeminal Neuralgiia [Facebook group] - "Does anyone here have Fibromyalgia?"
Everyone there had Trigeminal Neuralgia of course.... and in less than one day 103 replies said "Yes, I have both"

Waiting for medical appointments is being "in Limbo".
I have been posting on here almost as long as you have been Cure Zone members - and that TIME has gone by very quickly - so much has happened in the world.
And then, it sems, something happens that puts us in LIMBO. That might be too harsh a word in it’s original useage -”between heaven and hell”.
Modern Definition of ”Limbo” -
”a place or state of oblivion to which persons or things are regarded as being relegated when cast aside, forgotten, past, or out of date”
And the apt example given was ” My youthful hopes are in the limbo of lost dreams.”

Someone forgot to remove the old markers on the Map of the Body in the Brain.
Yes, they says that Fibromyalgia [”Fibro”] ”Is a disease of Amplified Pain”
- but what does that mean, and how do we experience it?
How do we KNOW? There is not much to go on when comparing your pain to mine. It is widely assumed that we all experience pain, and other sensations, the same as everyone else, or within a narrow range of intensities.For most people, it does work that way.
For Fibromyalgia patients, it is a cruel farce that some people will deny the reality of amplified pain.
For medica ... read more Venous Stasis Dermatitis 4 y
Stasis Dermatitis - swollen lower legs
Today I removed a band aid and the skin came with it.
That is scary. My lower legs have been bleeding from the slightest knock. The skin rips and it eventually forms a scab. I have a dozen scabs on my lower legs. One is as big as a quarter dollar.
The band aid one is larger than that!!
Another name is ”Weepy Legs” - that comes from the dribbling of white blood cells from the broken skin.
I no longer feel comfortable in short pants in public. Oh well, I have always been uneasy around people.
I believe this is the typical condition that follows years of stasis dermati ... read more Corona Virus Immunity existed before CovI.D. 19 4 y
asymptomatic but testing positive for Corona virus - they were previously infected with a Corona Virus
Headliner: ”asymptomatic but testing positive for Corona virus - they were previously infected with a Corona Virus and are not contageous, and have immunity”
I watch a TV news channel and I get a different opinion handed to me, as compared to the opinion I form when I read the Alt News online.
TV news says the virus is novel, new, nobody ever had a viral infection like this before!!
But then they found a significant portion of the global human population were testing POSITIVE, but had no symptoms. ”Asymptomatic” they call it.

Silly but usefull household tips - 3 of them. Quick read [for a change!!]
I am sure most people know these, but how about the next generation? Coming through the school system, do they hear trivial stuff that actually affects real life?
No, they hear trivial stuff that will never affect their lives, lol.
Tips!! -
1] Rinse dishcloth in COLD water - the bacteria count will be reduced 90%

I stumble and get defensive with talking with a new doctor.
I might soon be changing Doctors, and after 12 years with the same one I have not thought about how to introduce myself to a Doctor, until now. It is important not to ruminate on it, so I will get it out here...
"Hello Doctor Howdoyousaythat?" "Yes I have had Fibromyalgia for a long time, diagnosed in 1994 but I had it for at least 10 years before that"
"At least? - longer?" he asks.
"Well the signs were there since childhood, but I was run down by a drunk driver in 1976 and the pains start ... read more |
