Bitsy Buccaneer Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I started out the day with about a half hour of increasingly blurred vision, which then receded, and a period where my right hand wasn't quite right, headache for half the day too. Things seem ok since, no idea what it was. Fortunately I have an appointment with the neurologist anyway tomorrow, so at least I'll be able to ask a professional. Took last month off from the forums because I didn't have spare emotional energy for the few who try to pick fights, so I'm late reading this thread. Much sympathy for all who are struggling with grief in whatever way. If any of you listen to podcasts, Cariad Lloyd's Griefcast can be very helpful. She's a comedian and talks with other comedians about their experiences with grief. The early episodes especially look at some of the strange but common experiences in living with loss. Love to all of you, in whatever form of expression you prefer x 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with Garnet (and I'm sure many others) in hoping all is well with you and your neurologist has a benign explanation for today's experience. Do let us know what you learn. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Universe would not let that stand. For the first time ever, I think I'm in the process of being ghosted. It is a total wtf experience, that true to definition, came out of the blue. So I'm sitting in a floaty in my back "yard" at the LL marina, brooding and drinking in RL. There's a good reason I hate people... this is exhibit 4,673,412 Yes, it is a sh1tty experience, especially being ghosted by someone who was deeply a friend. Amazing really how things can turn out, but why should you be feeling so bad? Don't be the one to feel bad. And don't waste energy hating people - pity them and carry on floating with a beer/wine in real life (tipple of choice tonight is a Crabbie's alcoholic ginger beer - that never disappoints. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the weekend, my oldest brother had a breakdown and is now locked up in a psychiatric facility where we are having a nightmare of a time trying to get information, access, or to get him released to another facility of our choosing. It's really very scary, especially when you start looking for information on how to go about these things and read all the horror stories of people being locked in this places for years and unable to get themselves out. Horror stories about these places are truly in the minimum. Here in the UK anyone can be sectioned for 28 days and are on continuous assessment. During that period of time, it is recommended family don't insist on getting in the middle of initial assessments and treatment. That always feels wrong, but generally turns out right. Trust the professionals. In the main, they really do know what they're doing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what it was, and now i will panic everytime i turn computer on,i so don' t want it to happend again.Also because i don't want to deal with guarantee service ,cause it will be around 45 days of their diagnostics time and in my country its normal thing to get "NON guarantee case" as a reply.Quality of work depends on guarantee staff,but still.. Is it a PC or a laptop? If laptop, could be something as simple as loose battery pack underneath. If PC, you may have fixed it, by resetting the microprocessor turning it off and on again. Do you pay for a service/extra guarantee like I have with my laptop with PC World? It may not happen again, try not to be anxious. You are in charge! LOL.

Garnet Psaltery Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I'm wondering how long I can sustain my land expenses. I've always needed a home in SL but when I think about the things I need in RL it's beginning to seem like a lower priority. I'm not at all happy about this. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukubia Scarmon Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I'm doing better now, fever only lasted two nights - still had a real bad time last night, because after not being able to sleep the whole weekend, I finally had no fever, and the pain in my back lessened... and then I could not sleep because the second I lay down I started to have the uncontrollable urge to cough, and if I didn't, my breathing would sound like I just smoked 5 pack's of cigarettes a day for 50 years straight. I literally could not sleep because it was loud, annoying and my goddamn throat hurt from all the coughing. To make matters even worse, when I got up and sat at the desk to do something productive while I waited to be so exhausted that I'd fall asleep in the chair (The only hope of sleep I had at that point), my goddamn leg acted up again. Why is my body such a huge, gigantic, PITA &%/&/$% of a %&/&/%&§. That may sound trivial, or just like, stuff like that happenes when you're sick, but for me, it happens so often, that I'm actually starting to get scared about the possibility that I am experiencing some form of body-dismorphobia (? Yeah I'm not sure), where I do not see my body as a part of myself, but something that is working against me. And that is literally the alst thing in the world I need right now. Yeah, it's 1 AM now, and I absolutely dread going to bed right now, because it'll repeat. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kali Wylder Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I'm back! I survived. My body found a new ineffective way to deal with stress. I am now on Steroids to treat my anxiety rash, which scared me half to death when I started trying to figure out what was wrong. There are pictures of all kinds of rashes out there on the internet. Mine didn't look exactly like any of them. As it turns out it is just itchy and not an indication of anything more serious. The doc said it was probably a combination of things that happened all at once, eating different foods, sleeping in a different (and much too warm) room, different shampoo, different laundry soap, adjusting to living with siblings and dealing with loss. So I'm taking Benadryl and Prednisone and trying not to scratch. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleMe Jewell Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I'm tired, so very tired. I don't sleep well at the best of times. The last 3 nights I have woke up about every 1-2 hours all freakin night. Yet at the same time, I feel wide-awake come evening time when I'm supposed to be going to bed, and thus have a hard time falling asleep. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom was in the hospital over the weekend. A virus had knocked her for a loop, exacerbating her heart failure. The evening before she was scheduled for release, a nurse entered the room and said "I'm sorry to hear you're going to be leaving us soon." We do like a good laugh, Garnet. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahala Roviana Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Cold. Just cold. I know people get annoyed when folks complain about the cold in the winter and being too hot in the summer, but it was in the 60's last week and in the teens yesterday. I'd like to speak to a manager. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I like it cause I do not have a lot of opportunities to wear my new jacket so... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
