shot straight down to the inlet. loo barely sucked it in without flooding.

Functional hallux limitus of the right metatarsal phalangeal joint is my diagnosis and the reason why for the past 3 years I've been limping

I mean I'm glad for the diagnosis and for the special insoles but I've been going to see my GP about this problem and they've done nothing for me so I've had to go private and this has been sorted within no time at all

I'm not being funny but I'm rapidly losing faith in the NHS

I've not got to arrange an ultrasound scan to make sure there's no stress fracture that could escalate and get worse in time

I'll see how long my GP takes to arrange that for me

So on the one hand I'm happy that I've sorted out the limp (which had got considerably worse lately) but on the other hand this could have been solved three years ago if anyone had have taken any notice of my complaint

Sorry about your phalanges.

thanks mate

Sorry about your plantars as well

Hot weather is a curse for me. I love it but I overheat easily. I have more than once staggered home with heat exhaustion because I had no idea how hot it was until the symptoms set in.

Yeah I'm not very good with the heat either

Got a ct scan scheduled for Friday. I'm not happy about this. My doc scheduled it behind my back. In all fairness, she knows I won't so she went and did it for me. I know she means well. I just wasn't going to do it. I get frustrated with doctors, tests and scans. I doubt this one will tell me anything conclusive and they'll tell me it's not x, y, or z, and they don't know what it is. I feel it's all a waste of time and resources to get me nowhere but where I am today.

I like having a dehumidifier wherever I'm sleeping.

No more asthma like breathing during heavy rain. Less headache when waking up.
Way lesser upper respiratory flare ups and rhinitis trigger.


I just have to contend with my current circadian rhythm sleep schedule and diet again again.

At the moment I woke up with...
I don't know???

Whenever I get up from a certain angle of a posture, I'd get a sharp throbbing at the left back of my head.

Dealing with it all day. It was bad this morning. Gradually becoming less painful. Still triggering for some reason still.



.. Not as weird as waking up with vertigo for a random entire day.
Thankfully that only happened once.



**** this upper respiratory issue.

I think I've just gotta learn to love legs day or I'll fail

^^ Leg weights are not my favourite. My new physio last Tuesday decided that it was legs day for me. Soooo many squats. The result was that I could hardly walk on Wednesday and Thursday. I don't know if I want to go back there!

I've got used to it now but I decided to leave the lunges out because I don't think I was doing them properly

I don't know if I've broke a bone in my hand but it's still in functioning order but with intermittent pain and some stiffness

I was stretching backwards in my living room and I went right back and there was a piece of exercise equipment behind me and I think I might have bent my hand right back on it as I fell backwards

I mean this was about a week ago and it's still not improved

Currently looking at Parasympathetic Dominance.

Because it somehow fits a bit.
Especially while working.

Could explain why a lot of things about me works backwards.

Because there's so much about downregulating the Sympathetic Nervous System, related to stress and anxiety -- when I have something else instead and no amount of relaxation works.

Might be why I don't have a lot of problems relaxing.
... Because being relax is never the answer?
Maybe why my sense of fear is screwed, why I have less nervous moments compared to the norm?
Maybe why most at the time, I don't 'feel like it'?

Maybe this is why I eat a lot? Or, don't because I feel full too often.
Maybe this is why I walk a lot? Or, inconsistently, I have days that I just don't go out.

Heck, maybe this is why I eat and walk a lot. And why I also sleep and let myself not eat or drink outside the context of super focus and autistic inertia.

Might be why my perspective on anxiety is mostly amplification and feeling more alive than the classically associated fear and panic?
Because that's how overactive sympathetic nervous system usually works -- which isn't my case.
Maybe this might be the very reason why I can't relate what amounts to basically 90% of autistics and their living experiences?


Maybe this is how I have issues transitioning from one task into another?
Maybe why some of my executive dysfunction issues feel like it's my body instead of just my head?
Maybe it can explain my out of place 'novelty seeking' trait?

... Maybe it's the root cause of my chronic rhinits? To a point that I have to dehydrate myself at some point because of how disruptive it is?

... Maybe this is why I have complicated 'needs' and is the reason why I was forced to track and mind whaveter's within me because of how unpredictable this body is?
