I pulled out of mothballs my old cheapo blu vape to help me get past cigarette and food withdrawals today. So I am just puffing on it and browsing the forum this evening. I have a few cartridges left over from when I tried it so I figure I’ll use them up and then switch to smokeless “oxygen” cigarette I got delivered today.
Took a 2 hour nap so might be up a bit.
Having weird tingly sensations in back. Hope its not related to diabetic damage. I am enroute to correcting the blood sugar/weight issue hopefully though.
Would actually like to play guitar but everyone sleeping so I cant without playing super quiet without amp, and thats no fun.
Other than being sick to my stomach, I doing well. I actually didn’t take any OTC painkillers (Ibuprofen or Tylenol) today for my bursitis in my hip. I’m actually walking around pretty good too and not using my cane much.
Catching up on some internet as been a busy weekend already and out for lunch tomorrow for nieces birthday. Perusing the boards and watching season 9 of BB Candada.
That’s good to hear your working on weight Bowens. I miss playing guitar, mine is in hidden behind tons of boxes in storage. Am dropping my olanzapine dose to 22.5mg tonight.
The reason I bought an electric guitar is so I can play while everyone is asleep. I have an excellent headphones I plug in the amp. But to be honest I don’t usually play when I’m up all night. I wait for dawn so I can play classical guitar. I’m trying to learn the blues too on my acoustic and electric which both only cost me $100 including accessories. Maybe I should go down to the graveyard and practice sitting on a tombstone, lol.
I’m doing better. Couple days ago, I made a terrible choice to watch a video about schizophrenia, in which the comment section was filled with stigmatized comments.
Unfortunately, this is triggering immense fatigue and pain for me. Last month, I had low cortisol (adrenal insufficiency) and had to take steroids to reclaim my system. I was doing okay for a while, until I watched the video and felt emotionally exhausted and stressed, which led me to start declining physically.
My doctor has told me to keep my stress to a minimal level or I would end up in the hospital with some sort of symptoms. I was hospitalized for 3 days last time in the endo ward before and I’m never doing that again.
For me triggers can lead to bad physical symptoms which can be detrimental. I’m basically trying to keep my physical and mental health from killing me, I guess.
Where are you on holiday @Joker ? I’m also on holiday right now in the North of Italy. I never get tired of the view I have on Lake Como from our apartment. I stay until the 19th. We also are having great weather 26-27C and sunshine.
I’m a bit sunburned so I try to minimize my time in the sun. I also like swimming in the swimming pool and drinking my coffees in the morning. I’m feeling alright. I’m here with my mother, her boyfriend and my aunt.
I love Tenerife as well. Especially the Teide. When I have to fly I just take some extra meds to be fine. I’m in Italy by car. It takes 2 days of driving to get here.
