Saturday, November 7, 2009 |
So I did my homework and found out that joint replacement for the basal joint of the thumb isn't really that helpful. I went to the doctor and told her my thumb had gotten worse and asked if a splint would keep it from getting more deformed. I also explained that I wasn't worried about the pain (I've lived with it for years.) and didn't want surgery. She referred me to an orthopae...

Some days I want to tell you how I feel. But you never listen. When you catch me crying and I won't tell you why, you get pissed and storm off. Even if I did tell you what was bothering me you wouldn't understand. Or you would half listen like you usually do. I know you think crying is a waste of time, so do I. But some days I just...1 Recommendation -

Well I got a call on Tues. from a temp service about a job that I would fit for what this one company is looking for. So I called them back today and they said it would be direct hire so I'd be starting with the company from day one, it pays 12 dollars an hour and is full time. So I told them that I would be interested and they are faxing my resume over to the company and if they feel that I ...1 Recommendation1 Comment -

I have now come to a deeper understanding of what is expected of me at home. I don't know why this has taken me so long to figure out.
It's like a big dark, grey cloud. So obvious.
It doesn't get any easier.
I think I'm just going to lay low for a while.

Feeling a connection to others is a critical component of a person’s mental and physical health. New studies show that a sense of rejection or isolation and loneliness disrupts not only will power and perseverance, but also key cellular processes deep within the human body. Chronic loneliness belongs among health risk factors such as smoking, obesity or lack of exercise. For Chronic l...1 Recommendation -

If you could see within the chamber of my mind, what is it you would see? After the miles of twisting and turning corridors designed to delay your arrival, you would see a steel door bolted and locked with numerous types of locks requiring keys and passcodes. If you actually manage to get the locks open you have to use both hands to turn the huge knob on the steel door. Once the door is opened yo...1 Recommendation2 Comments -

Gosh, I have felt utterly over whelmed over the last few weeks. I started my new IVIG which is helpful albeit on a small scale, presently, but still have large suspicious masses, lymph nodes in my gut and have to have more intrustive tests. Does anyone have masses growing or thickenings in the bowel wall? What causes this? I also have to see a neurourologist and have a brain scan for all the comp...1 Recommendation

Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis Information
Crohn's disease is a systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) of unknown cause, that results in chronic inflammation of the intestinal tract. It can affect the entire gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus, and can also cause complications outside of the gastrointestinal tract. The incidence of Crohn's disease in North America is 6:100,000, and is thought to be similar in Europe, but lower in Asia and Africa. Unlike the other major inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, there is no known medical or surgical cure for Crohn's disease. Many medical treatments are however available for Crohn's disease with a goal of keeping the disease in remission.
Ulcerative colitis (Colitis ulcerosa, UC) is a form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) featuring systemic inflammation specifically causing episodic mucosal inflammation of the colon (large bowel). The inflammation almost universally affects the rectum, and may spread in a continuous fashion more proximally in the colon. It has no known cause, although there is a presumed genetic component to susceptibility. Treatment is with immunosuppression (suppressing the immune system), although colectomy (partial or total removal of the large bowel through surgery) is occasionally necessary.
