Turned out today was just a check up to decide whether i need surgery. I do, and it's scheduled for 16th Jan. So that was a waste of an anxiety med

Gonna take one of my anxiety tablets beforehand i think

How long is the needle in for, it looks like bloody ages in that video?!

@Mij @Jonathan Edwards How long is the needle used to do local anaesthetic in the big toe? It's silly but I keep imagining it going straight through the toe and out the other end!! Also am nervous because, well, there isn't much flesh on the toe, it's basically just bone and skin and a little...

Mine is just with an ordinary podiatrist but hopefully that won't make much difference.

Right, thanks. Phew!!

Thanks all, very helpful.

Is this an actual issue or just one of those storm in a teacup panic things? Lots of people eat lots of dark chocolate and are perfectly fine...

Oh Christ, I've been eating Lindt.

On 7th Jan I have to have an ingrown toenail removed under local anaesthetic. Which, fine, I'll be glad to be rid of the damn thing. But the podiatrist warned me that the injection for the local anaesthetic would be very painful? I don't really get it as I had kind of assumed it would be just...

It was fine, scan was a bit uncomfortable but not really painful. I don’t have endometriosis. We have been treating me with bio-identical progesterone and I have a lot less pain now.

It’s not a coincidence that the only non-disabled people who have instantly believed me about how the medical system mistreats ME patients… are all trans. Edit: ok not quite, I remembered one non-trans non-disabled person who immediately believed me. Also: I’ve never met a trans person who...

First dose: Pfizer, mild side effects for 12 hours Second dose: Pfizer, mild side effects for 12 hours Third dose: Moderna, moderate/severe side effects for 30 hours Fourth dose: Pfizer bivalent, no side effects in the first 32 hours after receiving it. (Note: I don't consider a sore arm to be...

Hardly the most important point here, but god that is some poor sentence construction.

Milo how are you doing now? Did it go away?

I don't think the article is bad? This isn't a psychosomatic article, it's talking about long covid as a real physical condition. There are a couple of nasty comments though.

The 25 metres that I put is what I can do on a bad day, I think. If I was having a REALLY bad day that was worse than that, then I wouldn't be able to get out of bed, never mind downstairs to the car, so the blue badge wouldn't be used on a really bad day anyway.

I don't personally generally have impact beyond the same day. (This is why my ME diagnosis is in doubt and I'm being assessed for other causes.) But impact on the same day ought to be quite enough for me to need a blue badge I feel!

I’m doing my blue badge application, this is what I’ve put so far, do you think this is clear enough as to why I need the badge? Or do I need to go into more detail? How far can you usually walk? 25 metres How long does this take you? 0-1 minutes What stops you from walking further? Fatigue...

Oh yes I am having nerve conduction too
