RE: I'm more broken than you - Greg - 12-19-2022
My body continues to decay. At breakfast this morning, I blew my nose into a tissue. Next thing I knew, a had big blood drops all over the magazine I was reading. Good times.

Christina suffers from nose bleeds in the winter. Sometimes it looks like it bleeds a lot. Which reminds me - I should give blood while I'm on vacation.

Side effect of your glaucoma med?
RE: I'm more broken than you - Greg - 12-19-2022
Possibly. Although I didn't see that side effect in the literature. But i stopped taking the horse pill on Wednesday per doctor's orders. I'm down to three different eye drops. Actually two. I stopped using one of the drops yesterday which I was doing 4 times a day.
The nausea is still with me.
RE: I'm more broken than you - Drunk Monk - 12-19-2022
Your eyes are connected to your sinuses, right? Didn't you just get that connection widened with laser beams? You'd think that would cauterize the hole...
In all seriousness though, those drops must be going into your sinuses too. If it persists, consult your doc. Sinus infections are nasty. The tinnitus that I've suffered for like a quarter century now was related to a sinus infection (actually it was an ear infection, but as my doc then explained, eyes, ears, and nose are all connected through the sinuses).
RE: I'm more broken than you - Greg - 12-19-2022
Thank you!
It eventually stopped. But it flowed well for awhile. Lots of red kleenex in the trash. My head is all sorts of wonky since the laser attack.

LCF has informed me this thread is not, repeat, not a competition.
RE: I'm more broken than you - Dr. Ivor Yeti - 12-26-2022
It's totally a competition.
RE: I'm more broken than you - Greg - 12-26-2022
Ssssh.
RE: I'm more broken than you - Greg - 12-29-2022
Oh, sure, Doc, send me in for blood work after two weeks of gluttony. I bet those results will be great.
RE: I'm more broken than you - Greg - 01-09-2023
I got new glasses. That was the start for the Glaucoma excitement. The glasses arrived about three weeks ago. I wore them for several days maybe a week. They never got comfortable. I could see okay, but the pads on the nose became more and more painful over time. It got so bad I had bloody blisters on the side of the nose and shooting pain in the center of my head every time I wore them. I couldn't take it any more and went back to my old prescription which kind of worked but there were areas I could no longer see.
I bought a new rubber pad for the glasses to replace the plastic pads. I hope this works. Currently battling my eyes readjusting to the new prescription. The only thing that is really blurry is the monitor.

I've been avoiding posting on this here thread because y'all been one-upping me with your bleeding from random orifices, knee x-rays, snapping feet bones, and whatev, and y'all know how much I hate being one-upped. I know, I know...not a competition. What. Ev.
As I mentioned previously:

I did receive my neural meds just before I ran out but I started thinking I can make it on one pill instead of two (I'm allowed to go as deep as five). The thing is this med has a harsh side - constant dry mouth and throat and a nagging cough. Recently I've been getting sores in my mouth too so I'm using a lot of antiseptic mouthwash. I thought I'd give it a go on just one pill, titrate the dosage on my own. There are all these warning on the bottle about doing this because this neural is also used for depression and patients get suicidal when they come off it...
Well, I'm not suicidal but my pains have returned. It's not crippling like it was when this started, but I can feel it in my shoulder blade area and in my center fingers. The ache is so distinctive, dull yet maddening.
I'm back on two pills and now I'm coughing like a dog that just ate a yard of grass. Will I be on this for the rest of my life? My doc says it's not damaging over the long term and I'm not even at full dosage.
I've been pointing at a stretcher carry down the grass hill of Shoreline as the triggering moment but Stacy is quick to point out that this happened afte my bout of covid, and covid has some weird long term effects. One of my Kung Fu classmates, the dean of 5 branches institute, just got over covid and contracted covid eye. I hadn't heard of that. His red eye became inflamed and intensily painful, where he had to don a blindfold for three days to avoid searing pain. When I saw hin, he still had one red eye.
Ok, we can go back to your pains now.
RE: I'm more broken than you - Greg - 01-18-2023
This is a safe space. All pains are welcome.
Did I mention I had lasers shot into my eyes?

You're so close to superhero-dom. Now if you can just reverse the process.
RE: I'm more broken than you - Greg - 01-18-2023
Working on it.
