The I'm Hurting/I'm Sick/I Feel Like Crap Thread

[Godfather]

Honestly dude, the fact that you're as functional as you are is beyond fucking impressive. It wrecks my entire afternoon when I get a papercut. And a headcold puts me out of commission for days :lol:

Keep it up buddy.

[Hal-9000]

It's my own fault...I should of given up this physical job years ago...

but then I wouldn't have much to bitch about :lol:



The thing that pisses me off is when this guy gets a cold or flu, he comes in.He has a desk job so he can just sit there all day and cough...we don't have that luxury.He spits in the garbage, on the floor and God knows where else.....and then half of us get it, we call in sick (to him) and he gets pissed off! :lol:

vicious circle that he starts, but never understands.....I won't miss that after he leaves.

[minz]

Oh no, I know that pain :( I hope it soon passes :hug:

Is it the flu or a cold Minz? I heard that when you quit smoking your body is prone to infections as it's getting rid of all of the crap. My Dad was sick for a year with throat problems and colds etc after he quit...now he looks 10 years younger and rarely catches anything :thumbsup:

I don’t know what it is, I just feel like crap, I can barely eat or drink without feeling nauseas, and heartburn, something I’ve never had before ever and when I lay down the room just spins which makes me feel even more sick, it's like being constantly drunk.

Sounds like a stomach thing....either you have a bad microbe of food in you or the good and bad bacteria in your stomach are having a war...

what I learned in the last 4 years -

If you eliminate the chance of having a blockage of food in your plumbing, or the onset of Crohn's, and it's not one of your organs malfunctioning (gall bladder plugged with stones, pancreas putting out too much or too little enzymes, liver not cleaning properly) then it's probably the environment in your tummy that's screwed up.

We have almost 2.2 pounds of bacteria, good and bad in the stomach. We need both for proper digestion. At times if it's not working, food has to be digested higher up in the stomach causing gut raunch, indigestion, heartburn...

I had success with 2 cups of probiotic yogurt a day and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies of all things :lol: Make sure you get yogurt with real, active probiotic culture in it...most yogurt is pasteurized so it contains little active bacteria no matter what it says on the label. Try 'Activia' if they have it over there...and eat lightly with your other normal foods....coffee DOES not help regain this balance, but lots of water does. Bananas also helped me but only to a point, then things got too acidic eating a banana a day so I had to take breaks from that..


you can also get over the counter probiotic supplements, they won't hurt you daily although your body may react to them after a week or two because it's changing the way you digest ( you could have days where the good probiotic stuff pushes out the bad and feel crappy..)

[Hal-9000]

Minz I was so sick with stomach problems at one point I could barely get out of bed...I felt stoned and dizzy...constant pain and stiffness in my abdomen...felt like I had done 1000 situps every night.

It was the dizziness and fatigue I hated most, I could take the daily pain.

I noticed right away when things were improving because I had energy and didn't feel nauseous when smelling or tasting food. My worst days were getting up and drinking water only and getting instant acid reflux in my gut and chest...I thought for sure they were going to yoink an organ out of me, I felt so nauseous at times I thought for sure I was poisoned somehow. I still think to this day that I had a touch of Listeroisis (spelling,) the food poisoning that was in some processed meats :|

[minz]

I cant drink coffe at the moment, just the smell is enough to put me off, I should have gone to the Doc's really, I'll go when I get back if it's no better.

[Hal-9000]

yeah it's when the smell and taste of things bother you....not just eating stuff.

you could have a mild form of food poisoning Minz and your body just needs to clear the bad microbes. If you don't eat much normally and coffee is upsetting you, you may have similar to me...only time and a careful diet will restore your stomach to working properly :thumbsup:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I'm pretty sure that burrito this morning was bad :|

[Teh One Who Knocks]

My allergies are absolutely killing me this year :suicide:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I haven't been sick in something like 2 years...now we've hired someone with little kids and he comes to work fucking sick all the time and I have been sick twice in the last month because of that motherfucker.

It should be absolutely legal to shoot those people in the fucking face with a 10 gauge shotgun at close range.

[FBD]

ugh, I have such a fkn headache today.


My allergies are absolutely killing me this year :suicide:

that sucks homey...I used to have seasonal allergies every year until...heh...well, I did certain meditation practices for like 3 years then I saw some powerful sort of guy that gave me an energy transmission that accelerated the fug out of everything I was doing...and I have not had seasonal allergies since, basically the last 5 years or so. but I can tell it is because of the ongoing meditations, I get these energetic surges that make my sinuses and shit empty right out, so basically whatever's in there at the end of the day gets purged. :dance:

[Noilly Pratt]

Managed to slice my finger carving pumpkins for Halloween. Hit an artery they tell me. (you can tell by the blood colour so said the Doc)

I have this blessing/curse that I don't feel as much pain as most people so when I couldn't stop the bleeding I went to Emergency. Told me it was a good thing I did - would have probably lost a lot of feeling in that finger...but as it goes it should all return eventually.

10 stitches! Broken a wrist and a rib before, but never had stitches.

My back hurts more than anything -- no seats and had to sit up on a gurney for 3 hours!

Be careful this Halloween!!!!

[DemonGeminiX]

I don't know how I did it, but I jacked my left shoulder up yesterday and it is on fire right now.

I had holidays last week and was sick from Monday - Thursday. Yeay- 1 day of fun! Tried to make up for it on Sat/Sun and was wiped on the return to work on Monday.

Today I'm finally feeling like it's past me.

And - finger update on the post from last year....still haven't got the full feeling back...but typing is now back to 45 WPM according to Mavis Beacon. But lucky I have a finger at all, really. I'm only now starting to play guitar again - that's coming back quickly.

She's not my kid...only related by (soon-to-be) marriage. I have to pick and choose my battles with her.

Strained/pulled my external oblique on my left side. Skipped the workout yesterday but went today but took it easy on the ab exercises. I guess I didn't take it easy enough. Feels fine to be still, but definitely screams when I move the wrong way. I still plan on going to the gym tomorrow, but I think I will forego all ab exercises and see how that goes.

Get you some ice on it. :tup:

I'm partial to moxa myself, but that shit get stinky. Thinking of picking up one of those infrared jammies, see how they compare to the real thing..

I pulled my lefthe lat today at work, changing 2 electric motors. Had no pain med until I drove 100 miles back to apt. Took a hot shower, and was going to go soak in hot tub, but got called out to another rig. Now I have to climb a 75 foot derrick to change out a sensor. This getting old stuff sucks. Beats the alternative though, lol

The pulled oblique muscle has gotten worse. One of my sisters, who is a personal trainer, told me to "RICE" it. Rest it. Ice it. Compress it. And normally elevate it, but not in the case of an oblique. Can't go to the gym for a few days and I will probably have to wear one of my corsets, or find a way to wrap an ace bandage where it won't roll up when I move.

Oh yeah, and I have a UTI. Yay.... My trip this weekend isn't looking like it's going to be as much fun as originally thought.

[Jezter]

Goshdarnit girl! You really haven't followed the doctor's orders at all. Someone's in for a spanking.

[FBD]

For a pulled muscle, unless its still inflamed, I personally wouldnt go for ice. If you've never had moxa before, its awesome for stuff like that. Its stinky, though. Specific, targeted heat. I use it regularly on my knees and ankles, hands, elbows. Pulled muscles often get collagen buildup in between the fibers - the targeted heat can help melt that and break up those collagen chains....ice, not so much. If you pulled it more than a few days ago, ice time has likely passed.

But I'm more chinese medicine oriented in dealing with this stuff, and they mostly dont use ice to treat things, imflammation is usually treated by herbs. What would really be good would be dit da jow (jow is the stuff Karate Kid used on his bruises...its amazing stuff.... a certain combination of herbs in an alcohol. I made a variant that I use with all the cayenne & habanero I grew, in grain alcohol to extract the capsacin and I apply it with a cotton swab. I've gotta get the herb recipe from my buddy so I can add all that in.)

So Tuesday night I could'nt sleep......again. I felt jittery and my heart was racing and would not come down. I was on the verge of a full blown anxiety attack. I went to check my blood sugar as I am Hypoglycemic and my glucose level was 41 which is dangerously low. I ate something sweet and got it up to 91 within minutes but I was having some digestive distress which always seems to accompany an episode like this. So I took off yesterday made an appointment and saw a doctor. After talking for about 30+ minutes they think I have a food allergy that is sparking the episodes. So they took 5 vials of blood and are going to run a full panel of tests including 20 known food allergies and celiacs disease. If this comes back clean I will have to go see an Endocrinologist and then a Gastroenterologist‎. :meh:

On a good note I found out that riding my stationary bike and changing my eating habits I have lost over 30lbs in about 5 months. :dance:

be sure to avoid HFCS, that shit is evil

I have gone pretty much as close to 100% Organic and Non-GMO as possible. It just seems to digest smoother and doesn't give me an insulin spike. So I haven't had HFCS in over a year. :tup:

[FBD]

:tup: I've eaten substantially less sugars, gluten, etc since my ex's ass would explode the second she ate any of that stuff. (literally and figuratively)

I've HATED hfcs ever since I saw pantera at the new haven coliseum in 2001 and chugged some mt dew at the exit. it was the most disgusting thing ever, havent had mt dew since :lol:

Thank you, sugar. It's still giving me problems, but probably because I haven't been resting it. I don't sit still well. I would appreciate that recipe though, if you can find it. I will be out of town until Monday, but if it's still being an asshole then, I may try what you've got. Thanks, dear.

Hope you get it all sorted out, darlin. Congrats on the 30 lbs. That's quite the accomplishment. :clap:

I'm not sure if you might have any oriental medicine stores around, but they would have that sort of stuff. Making jow takes time, it has to steep for quite a while, not something you can just mix up in a day or two and have it ready to use - at least not the traditional way of making it.

Amazon has some

The stuff I made with the peppers is pretty good, but its missing some of the herbal component that kicks up its effectiveness.

Try not to fret. Sometimes you can sleep with your leg in a weird position, kinda bent, and it strains the knee tendons and muscle surrounding the patella. It can make your whole thigh going up feel swollen.

Read something about people who fell asleep on their knees or with their knees bent significantly and it can screw up your legs.

Came home from work before 10am today, feeling fucking terrible :wha: My head's spinning, limbs aching, struggling to get warm and just feel totally wiped out. Jumped into an old sleeping bag then dived under the duvet, just woke up, still feel like shite :( My mum's apparently the very same, she's tucked up in bed too, guess there's some bug going around.

Got one of those brutal calf cramps/seizures yesterday and felt something shoot up the back of my leg. Felt like a rubber band snapping.

Stairs are an option today and my entire leg is on fire. Hamstring injury 2.0, yay
