Health Problems - Relate ot complain about your own :)

[GhostPoet]

So...I have to sleep with a couple wedges to prop myself up at night because if I lay flat my chest starts pounding and it keeps me awake more than even coffee could do. I know I have acid reflux and recently I discovered on a website that if you exercise hard and take a lot of digestive enzymes in is supposed to take that away...so I am hoping and praying that I won't have to sleep using a wedge anymore after I start doing these things. I just bought a tempur-pedic and I can't even enjoy it because all of my upper body is on those stupid wedges. So I end up with back pain and neck pain from being curved like that all night. Very annoying.

Who's next!!

I've fallen on my butt two times really hard. Once I slipped on the ice and the other time I fell off the rings attached to my swingset in my backyard (I was 22...), and each time I've thrown out my back both time. I probably have a slipped disk back there, I know I've had a knot there for years.

I'm also allergic to some kind of metal, and I have rashes on my forearms and stomach from constant contact. I have the ones on my forearms from working out in the gym.

Have you ever thought of going to a massage therapist? I just had a couple knots taken out of my back a few weeks ago?

Tried it. Apparently my muscles in my back are so tense that they had trouble massaging me. I need to go to a chiropractor.

 

[Erzengel]

I never liked chiropractors they just seem sometimes to make you dependent on them.

 

[GhostPoet]

I get that feeling from Chiropractors too...well, most of them. On the other hand, physical therapy is way too expensive once you run through your quota on insurance.

Maybe acupuncture?

Have you tried more than one massage therapist? Sounds like you could use a second opinion on that one.

I get pretty bad migraines every now and then, eyesight gets fuzzy, dizzy, nauseous... One time like a year ago, the fingers on my right hand started going numb and it worked it's way up my arm and into the right side of my face. It was extremely freaky to randomly have half my face numb but it didn't last very long, I thought I was having a stroke or something. Just a bad migraine... good times.

I got migraines for like 3-4 years towards the end of college from working at my job. They just went away.

Hmm...have you gotten your neck and back checked out? It might just be a migraine, but a curve in parts of your neck and spine can also cause those exact symptoms from time to time too. I have a moderate curve in my neck and tend to get migraine systems every now and then when it disputes my nerves.

I'm 99% sure I tore my ACL 3 months ago, it absolutely kills when I twist it certain directions but I havent gotten it checked out yet.

My issues seem to be caused by some combination of bright/flashing lights. The first one I can remember was towards the latter half of The Dark Knight at a midnight screening. I also got a pretty bad one during a morning train ride.

I test games all day, and if I'm on a DS project the combination of lights above my head reflecting on the screen and moving the system around has caused it before, but mainly just causes headaches.

I don't get them very often. I get headaches a lot, but the migraines are a maybe like 1 in every 3-4 months kind of thing.

I personally love my chiropractor. I go twice a month.

My health issue is the diabetes.

I hurt my knee a month ago. It's still healing.

I used to have really bad asthma as a kid. Nowadays it only flairs up whenever I get sick or the weather changes too quickly. For the past few days, I've had trouble breathing for some strange reason. It makes cardio a nightmare.

I'm not buying that. Blade doesn't get hurt.

Yeah, i also have a breathing condition, certain things can set it off, it's not asthma, but very similar when you have an attck, except, unlike asthma there is no inhaler to help you, you basically have to wait it out until you return to normal. I haven't had an attck of that in a few months thankfully.
But, it's sad when you have certain health problems, and horrible, ignorant people sit back and laugh at you , saying things like 'So bad , it's hilarious.' They are just showing themselves up as the wicked folk they really are. But you know when you encounter that type of behaviour that you have *always* been better than them throughout your life, cause even when you were at your most ****ed up, you never wished any malevolence on anyone, or went out of your way to mess in anyone's life.
So, in a way it is empowering to see that type of behaviour, it makes you realise who these people really are, and to make sure you never ever make friends with any of them, no matter how much some of them may try to in the future.

Hey Tyra. Can you make 1 post without bringing it back to yourself?

K, thanks.

 

[Thebumwhowalks]

Well I guess there is about as much chance of me doing that as there is of you not using that little puzzled smiley everytime you post

< )

You should go see a hypnotist, I think there is a good chance you are the reincarnation of Stan Laurel.

 

[Erzengel]

It's because it puzzles me.

 

[Thebumwhowalks]

No, it's because you are the reincarnation of Stan Laurel, seriously, go see a hypnotist to get that in writing. You could make a buck out of that if you found the reincarnation of Oliver Hardy, I would check out all the McDonalds in your local area first, knock over all the fat customer's plates, and if any of them say 'That's another fine mess', or words to those effect, you have found your funny fat former comedy partner.

Seriously, though, I don't give a crap if my patter is not up to speed right now, at least i will give it a go instead of just posting soem found image, at least i am trying to be creative.
I feel like crap, I will undoubtabley feel like crap tomorrow as my sleep will be ****ed up and there is nothing i can do about it right now, and you are following me about the forum giving me crap Stan, so I care not a jot for your thoughts or opinions.

 

[Erzengel]

Ha.

You make it sound like I've been following all the way to the Transformers or Batman boards. It's just the community forum. There's been like a little over a dozen topics since lunch time and 20 something people posting. If anyone posts here, I'm bound to stumble on their posts.
