I can't find a thread for (non-covid) illnesses, so I am making one.
I am now on day 3 of the 3259934th migraine of the year, and even though my migraines don't hurt much (or at all), it is very vexing. I can't concentrate on anything, so I can't even take any joy from being off work, and so all I do is frown and squint and listlessly watch Youtube videos. The one week I didn't have one, I had a cold instead. If I have one next week (when I am going on Exciting Linguistics Course), I shall be bloody livid. Bah.

oh no, poor bruce.

brains are stupid really aren't they?

as are bodies, obviously

that's rubbish. I hope you get some better brain-time for your course!

my "shit bodies" is that I started getting weird irregular heartbeats. after a variety of tests (ECG, two sets of blood tests) they have decided that nothing is wrong with me and that sometimes hearts are just weird

my dad recently was told he has that too. hearts are pretty terrifying

i'm glad i don't have one really

Bad luck Brooce! Hope it buggers off sooner rather than later.

My back is pretty knacked. I can't gardron/lift heavy-ish stuff without wearing a back support belt. And my back-knack won't be getting any better, either.

Oh no. Backs are genuinely the worst thing ever invented

I can't wait to be a robon.

Yesterday I was so migrained that I spent about 18 hours asleep, then was awake half the night, then didn't get up today till 2pm. I'm feeling a bit better now.

well that sounds shite. i hope you're feeling alright now

Yup, good to hear you're feeling a bit better now, sir.

News Stroy:

"The NHS is urging around 1.3 million older people who have not yet had the respiratory syncytial virus vaccine to get jabbed, as health service chiefs warn it is “not just a winter illness”."
The vaccine will reduce the risk of severe symptoms and only one dose is needed.

Right, I'm on it.

"Not available to the over 80s"

Well that's just marvellous, isn't it? Thanks NHS/Govt.

Yesterday I burnt the inside of my mouth with a dementedly hot steak pie.

The roof of my inner beak continues to be tender.

And today I twisted my ankle whilst trimming a private (privet) hedge.

And before anyone says it, no, I wasn't cutting the hedge with my feet.

Something something Farage, something, something hedge funds.

++Needs works, this...++

I've contracted some kind of plague

Kinda feels like COVID again but a test said it was not. I had to get up and put two more layers on the bed last night because I couldn't stop shivering. Fucking rubbish

urgh. i hope you get better soon, vom

Oh man! Sorry to hear that, Sir! Hope you feel better ASAP!

ves be well please

well the temperature regulation seems to be back on track today so that's progress

Good to hear, Sir!

So when you lose your predominant sources of testosterone, you also lose the muscle mass it gave you, and I now struggle to move IKEA boxes over 50 lbs.

Yikes!

I feel like I could do a pretty good job struggling with boxes even with all of my testosterones intact

It's a good thing we didn't go to IKEA this weekend and get several large heavy boxes I struggled to lift

(We did)

I used to lug around DJ equipment, but due to back knack, I have to wear a back support when carrying anything heavier than a machine gun or a crossbow or two rifles.

homfrus is the8bitguy aicmtp (inflation)

i went to ikea last week and it made me so angry i vowed never to go to ikea ever again

which is what happens every time i go to ikea

every five years or so

This morning my stomach made a noise that sounded like: "Can I help you?"

I expect there are Cronenberg body horror hilarities heading my way.
