I knew Farrah wasn't doing well, and that in itself was sooo sad. Darned cancer. But Michael's death was a complete surprise. How sad. His "Thriller" album was one of my absolute favorites in high school!!!
There is still a small amount of pain, but I am very aware of how much strength I am losing in my finger. I am due to start a Masters in university playing violin in 5 weeks so need to start rehabilitation of the finger as soon as possible, but don't want to further injure the finger.
I am sorry to hear about your puppy, that is so sad:( I lost my dog gizzy of 16 years less than 2 months ago and I cried like a baby, i still miss him. I do understand your pain and many of us here have animals that we love and helped us through the worst just by being at our sides.
Congrats on a week clean, this is another test for you.
I think you are talking about those cords which can occur if one or more lymph nodes were removed. These are scar tissue, or more specifically, fibroid lymphatic vessels. i have been asking a lot of questions and this is the best answer I have received. curiously, it appears that this never used to be a problem in the past much but is a fairly new development. The worst case my PT has ever seen was in a woman who only had one lymph node removed. I have it as well and these come and go.
Hey everybody:-) I'm 16 weeks pregnant with my first child! The first trimester was challenging getting use to all the physical and emotional changes. As a recording artist/song writer I'm convinced that when I'm being creative I feel great and all of my symptoms seem to disappear. I'm excited about this project because although I've been songwriting professionally for major artist for years this is the first time I've ever decided to work on a music project for myself!!
I have hyper mobility in my fingers... so bad that I had to stop playing the violin in middle school, because it was causing issues. I would say I forgot my violin at home, because I didn't want to deal with my fingers acting up when playing...
I am not sure if they are a specialist, they are in the same facility as my neurologist, I see him through Dr. Bath Green at the University of Miami. When I was referred, my referral letter says "EDS" on it.
I went to the ER and was admitted for testing for heart irregularities, but everything on that score was absolutely normal -- the doctor discharged me with a diagnosis of playing too much violin (said the upper chest and jaw and head sensations were from practicing too much -- why this hadn't ever happened during the past ten years that I have played the violin never occurred to the doctor) and put me on naproxen!!!! I learned about brain zaps after googling lexapro withdrawal!!!
Thanks for the boost! I found myself in the livingroom after my last post dancing with my daughter and singing. We are a musical family. My hubby plays guitar and sings at small venues, my 4 y.o. loves her guitar, my 15 y.o. plays drums, I play violin and sing, and my soon to be 19 y.o. plays guitar too. After typing that out, "By George", I'm gonna break out my violin! Havens touched it in nearly 2 yrs!!!
If belittling you makes her feel better than that is a sad sad thing for her. Because soon you will be out on your own living your own life and she will have no one to put down. Don't take her comments to heart. Instead focus on the good relationships in your life. Focus on your singing and your friends. You have made it for sixteen years, you can hang in there for a few more. And in the meantime don't be afraid to stick up for yourself.
Music has played a huge roll in my recovery so far. I wrote and recorded my own songs for such a long time, but after the vics took over I lost interest. A song I listen to all the time is Never Too Late by 3 Days Grace. Different music style entirely, but it's written about the singer's battle with Oxy. It's very powerful. In fact, the entire album is about it. The name of the album is One-X. Very good album, but very heavy and dark rock/borderline metal.
Before my cataract surgery Aug. 9, I wore inline progressive lenses mainly for distance as I took them off to read for more than a few moments. Though my reading vision has now improved from the complete blur after surgery, I still depend on the unoperated eye to read. I have received a new prescription and will return in 6 mo. to check the cataract in the other eye. I tried reading glasses for the reading prescription and found I could not read with them.
