On top of everything else, I've been dealing with a sinus infection for a bit over three weeks. I saw a doctor this past Tuesday, and got an Rx for Augmentin.
Today, I was feeling better. So what did I do? Yes, I overdid. I decided to assemble my new office chair, among other things.
Now I have a #fibro flare in full bloom. My back especially is on fire, and I'm walking like a 90 year old grandma. This is probably good night. 🤷♀️😢
Ce n'est pas vraiment de la boulangerie (c'est de la pizza), et ce n'est pas vraiment Samedi, mais je poste ça au cas où ça vous intéresse, car la technique est la même pour le #pain. @Flobzh on voit le truc en inox dont je parlais, très utile pour les pâtes très hydratées comme celle là. C'était hier pour une pâte pizza avec 66% de liquide (farine T45 580g/eau 363g/levain 122g/sel 14g).
For decades, I've experienced pain in my teeth after warming up inside after being out in the cold for a while (e.g., 30 minute walk). (The "cold" doesn't even have to be very cold: low 50s F can do it to me.) The pain can be pretty severe, and last for hours. I've mentioned it to numerous dentists, but none have had anything helpful to say. Today, I finally found a paper describing the phenomenon. It's nice to know people know it's a thing, at least. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5736355/#teeth#pain#dentistry
My partner checked the area and redness has gone down. It is swollen but not as red. No streaking. Took my 12th dose of Keflex (40 doses total is the full course). Basically, the point at which I was going to go to the hospital is if there was no positive change in the direction of healing or it got worse.
To go to the hospital, we are looking for signs of worsening such as :
Increased redness + increased swelling
Red streaks moving outward to new tissue
fever
disorientation
The reason why it's wait and see at home, has to do with the fact that my immune system has been put to sleep from the Prednisone (why healing from infection has been so slow), and so I can catch a plethora of things at the hospital including COVID.
This could be so so so much worse,
KNOCK ON WOOD.
Please still keep me in your thoughts, I'm not out of the hot water quite yet 🥺
Let's hope for reduced swelling by tomorrow morning 🤞
Je sors de chez mon boulanger avec un pain boule tranché. Quand je lui avais dit qu'il existe un « théorème du pain boule tranché » en mathématiques, il m'avait regardé bizarrement, mais il avait fini par être d'accord avec l'énoncé :
« Dans un pain boule tranché en tranches de même largeur, toutes les tranches ont autant de croûte les unes que les autres. »
Ce théorème peut paraitre contre-intuitif puisque très souvent les gens pensent que le guignon a plus de croûte.
Pour la démonstration, elle n'est vraiment pas compliquée à trouver. Trouvée ? (Je la posterai dans un second temps)
Discovery of ‘objective biomarker’ raises hopes for new treatments for people living with intractable pain
Brain signals that reveal how much pain a person is in have been discovered by scientists who say the work is a step towards radical new treatments for people living with debilitating chronic pain.
This is why asking people with chronic pain issues what their pain scale number is doesn't work.
When I did my shoulder injury, there was a definite POP sound, & the pain was about a 2/10.
I ignored it for about 4 months before going to the doctor, bc while it was still sore & I couldn't' move it quite properly, I knew that my doctor would tell me it was probably a sprain or a strain & that they could take some months to heal.
My doctor said exactly that, & when I pointed out that it had already been 4 months, sent me for an XRay and ultrasound, decided it was bursitis & sent me for a cortisone injection. The pain was maybe a 4/10 on the worst days at this stage. My range of motion was impaired, & the pain being constant day after day was wearing on me, as was only sleeping a couple of hours at a time... but hey, I have a chronic pain condition. I can just suck it up.
6 months after the cortisone injection I go back to the doctor bc of the pain, it had gotten slightly better for a while, but now it was about a 6/10 & by this point had been going for nearly a year. He explained that cortisone often needs a second course, & that 6 months is about normal for it to 'wear off', so we'll do another cortisone treatment, & this time refer me to physio as well (to start a few weeks after the cortisone so that the swelling etc was settled).
The cortisone dropped the pain back to maybe a 2/10 most days, but I was still not sleeping properly and my range of motion was getting worse.. or maybe I'm just getting more tired of being in pain all the time? I don't know. At this point I started wondering if maybe this is just what 'old' is for me, & maybe I was being a sook & didn't have such a high pain tolerance after all.. especially if the pain is like a 2/10 & I'm getting this upset about it.
It never occurred to me that I was getting so upset about it bc my pain was NOT only a 2/10.
After another 3 months of physio not really doing anything, I went back to the doctor & asked for an MRI.
The MRI shows:
the shoulder had dislocated
one high-grade tendon tear with a significant retraction of the tendon
3 other tendon tears
muscle volume loss
bursitis
mild arthritis with degenerative changes and joint effusion and thickening
a SLAP tear with fraying in two places
two lesions where the bones smacked against each other in two different spots during the dislocation
a muscle and a tendon sprain
2 other effusions
another thickened and frayed ligament
All of this should be able to be dealt with via physio rehab, except the SLAP tear, which will need a surgical review & will (best case) be able to be dealt with via an arthroscopy.. but might need a more serious & invasive surgery.
That's 18 months of pain, sleep loss, & inability to function to my normal level because the experiences of someone with a chronic pain disorder can't be summed up with "between 1 and 10 how painful is it?"
It's always the same with me:
I am profiling a piece of code and I can't figure out why execution times are so erratic, despite the work the function does, stays exactly the same. And then it hits me: My CPU is clocking up and down constantly in the background.
Warning for people with #hyperacusis watching #StarTrek#StrangeNewWorlds this week — there are a lot of high-pitched, piercing sounds in this episode (S2 E4 “Among the Lotus Eaters”), especially near the start. #pain#Isensepain
Everyone’s personal experience over a breakup or other loss might be different. But scientists say our bodily responses are pretty much the same. More from Sky News: https://flip.it/oU2Ckz #Science#Pain#Heartbreak
Refused meds by GP who promised to prescribe until I found a new GP (he dropped me bc my case is too complex). Changed his mind! Now have 6 days to find any doctor to write a script or #withdrawal agony & no #pain control.

C'est la première fois que j'ai pris de la farine T110, j'aime bien la couleur.
Tapentadol 200mg is a larger dose of the medicine used to treat moderate to severe pain. Tapentadol 200mg, like the 100mg dosage, is an opioid analgesic. Its mode of action includes binding to the mu-opioid receptor and blocking norepinephrine reuptake, resulting in dual pain relief benefits.
