I've had tennis elbow (not from tennis). It lasted about three months and then went away on its own. I count myself lucky because that pain in my arm was no joke.

I've had bursitis in my left shoulder for about six months and it's slowly getting better. Hopefully I'll be able to do chest weights again at the gym soon.

Yeah I hope you can get back to the gym soon

I wish I'd have known years ago about how good it feels to lean my back against a tennis ball when I'm sat down
My back has never felt so good

I do go to the gym but I don't do chest weights.

I'm getting used to squats holding a heavy weight. It just about killed me at first doing them but now I'm getting used to it.

One of my exes used to put a tennis ball behind his back on the wall and slide up and down. He'd sometimes wear the tennis ball out and split it. He was pretty rough on them.

I like to wear a posture trainer when I go out shopping and it does work really well


Just forked out 20 quid on a seasonal flu vaccination. I've got absolutely loads on over the next three weeks starting from tomorrow so I'm gonna need all the help and protection I can get

I know it probably goes against the food police's advice but my IBS has never been so settled since I started favouring ready meals for my dinners

I still have a home cooked meal for my tea

Dieting is a bit like punishment when you think about it

^Yeah, because you can't eat what you like, when you like.




I'm sick of wheezing. I take Symbicort, Spiriva and Ventolin but I'm still wheezing 24/7. My appointment with the Dr is on the 26th and that can't come soon enough.

It's a pretty fascinating business. I don't know if you've ever been to eastern Europe but if you do you'll find their toilets generally have a little shelf halfway down at the back. It catches your doings so you can have a good old look before you flush.

Then I recommend a trip to eastern Europe. They make it E.A.S.Y.

Well, as long as there isn't blood you're doing okay.

Currently being treated for bilateral pneumonia.

Cough started since last Saturday.
Literally did nothing all day at Sunday.
Had a surprise x-ray at Monday.
Sent home at Tuesday.
A check up at Wednesday.
Taking a troublesome medication at Thursday.


I'm not even working, yet I still feel like I just kept fighting my body from being annoying.

So here's what I learned:
I was right. For the 3rd time.

While it's not a major thingy like my chronic background irritation and constant maladaptive daydreaming, it's a notable thingy still.
On a level of chronic headache because of a troublesome tooth that hadn't been taken out for over a decade.

I used to have cramps and shakiness that my body seems restless. Or tired. Or just off.
So, is this a sleep issue? Hormonal issue? A nutrient deficiency?

Mom dealt with the same thing. I don't know if she's still experiencing it.

Tried to rule out electrolyte issue.
It went away for few years...

... Until I took an anti-asthma medication that makes someone lose potassium this week.
That I need to take something for electrolytes and more potassium food for a while as long as I have to take the medication.

So yeah, an electrolyte issue.
Not "anxiety". Not "psychiatric". :roll: It's not even caffeine.

... Hell, the gut issues I dealt for so long was more psychiatric -- that I solved myself -- than whatever this is, one of the annoying crap that I'm unable to outwork and outgrow.


So -- I had confirmed that I was right.
And like usual, I still continue hunting these annoying bodily tid-bits down.
Just like hunting down the things I need to outwork from within and eventually outgrow.

But for me to outwork something, let alone outgrow, annoyances in my body comes first. :x Or have my mind to literally forget I have a body that exists within time and space and dig out what I need to outwork.
