Watching the olympics

It was tough to watch the Winter Olympics. Lack of sleep, and when do you have time to shower or go for a run? I never remember watching the Olympics so much, from ten in the morning until past midnight. Although, has there ever been this much shown before? 

 

 

On Valentine's Day, all sorts of things happened. First, in cross-country skiing, the Swedish relay woman pulls a volley and runs down the track with a ski under her arm. Then Sweden was leading against Slovakia in ice hockey, but still took out the goalie and Slovakia celebrated the loss. Then Domen won the large hill.

 

 

I liked watching short track skating and sledding. In one round of four-man sledding, three sleds went on their sides. The first one was especially scary because one of the sledders had to be treated for a long time and was taken away on a stretcher.

 

 

And now that the Olympics are over, I should be doing something. Like blogging, doing my homework, and writing.

It's time to cancel my Netflix subscription, after two months. I've watched almost everything I wanted to. The latest was the Take That documentary, and now the Robbie Williams documentary is right behind it. As well as the third viewing of the Behind her eyes miniseries... Of course, I'd also like to rewatch Breaking Bad and Stranger Things seasons 1-3, but I'm not going to start paying for Netflix anymore.

 

 

During the Olympics, I went jogging in -19 degrees and got a really sore spot on my outer thigh. I think it's frostbite, even though I was wearing three layers of pants.

After the Slovenian mixed team won the Olympics, I did some home exercises and felt bad. Then one morning I woke up with a tooth/mouth ache. What the hell? Have I been clenching my teeth again? The pain was in the same spot as a couple of years ago, when I think the tooth had moved due to the force of biting at night. It shouldn't be anything related to a cavity or something, as I just had a dental check-up. I don't want to go to the dentist again.

I've had a myokymia in one eye for a long time, it's annoying. According to the internet, myokymias are caused by stress and lack of sleep, and I have plenty of them, haha. Although I hear iron deficiency can also cause symptoms like myokymias. It also occurred to me that it could be because I need new glasses, since I've had the same prescription for 25+ years. My neck also went to shit due to not exercising enough and watching the Olympics, and then the eye pain and all that.

 

 

So my body is stressed even though there's no reason for it. What happens when something really stressful happens...

 

I have nothing to say

A few weeks ago one night I started having a burning pain in the middle of my chest. From there it would sometimes move to, for example, my heart and lower abdomen. This pain started when I was thinking about things. Thinking should be forbidden for me. When even so-called positive stress and excitement about things can cause such bad pain. So things are fine.

One Sunday I was wondering why my stomach muscles were so sore. Well, it was because of the wild party the day before. When I was sitting on the armrest of the sofa in a bad position. Then it was nice to have endometriosis pain and stomach muscle pain at the same time. I'm starting to be even more convinced that the blood in my nose during my period is due to endometriosis. Yeah, I'm just delusional.

I was home alone again for a week recently. Surprisingly, this time I didn't have any trouble sleeping. I didn't have time to think about literal bad things because I had other things on my mind.

 

 

I tried to look for a manual for my mobile phone in the boxes of the wardrobe so that I could change to a cheaper phone plan. I couldn't find the manual. And I searched in vain, since it's online. The hardest part is always trying to remember the model of my phone, luckily I had written it down on this blog (Nokia 1100). I opened the phone without the manual, but I didn't dare remove the battery. We'll see if Globetel is a scam company, and what all goes wrong.

I should go through my belongings anyway, probably as a way of cleaning out the house, but I just can't. I have diaries, calendars, notebooks, letters and other papers in the boxes. For example, notebooks where I have written down the results of ski jumping competitions.

Well, I finally managed to put a cardboard box full of cat stuff in the wardrobe. It had been waiting to be moved in the kitchen for quite a few months. I still haven't gotten around to going through the cat toys.

 

 

Even this little bit of doing things was taking its toll on my body, my back started to hurt. And the next morning when I woke up I had a terrible stomach ache, I thought if it continued I wouldn't be able to go for a run.

I finally opened a bottle of iron supplement that had expired a few months ago. Why I only did it now is because I'm scared of the side effects of iron. I read about new symptoms that iron deficiency can cause, such as bruxism. The bottom line is that there's nothing that iron deficiency can't cause.

Pain causes more pain

I can happily report that I am currently not suffering from constipation. I have only taken two magnesium oxide pills a day, and it has been enough. I started taking them with cheese to prevent its constipating effect, and I was surprised how well it works.

I took the student health service's health survey, and surprisingly, based on it, I was automatically booked for a dental check-up. I claimed in the survey that I haven't been to a dentist for at least five years. I don't remember how long it really has been. I have been to a dental hygienist though. I have been putting off going to the dentist because I'm afraid of what will be revealed. It started almost two years ago, I clenched my teeth while sleeping and they suffered because of it.

And unfortunately, I don't think the student health service has any gynecological services at all anymore. At least, they say on their website that they only offer general practitioner-level services in gynecology. I would still like to get that ultrasound. In fact, when I looked into the matter, they only have general practitioners these days. The whole thing is ruined, meaning students are forced to pay for it and get nothing in return.

"I can't take it anymore"

- a message in a Facebook endometriosis group

And so it happened that right after I got an appointment with the dentist, I started having terrible mouth pain. Endometriosis pain was bad and I was grinding my teeth together while sleeping again. I don't know if the mouth pain and symptoms were just because of that, or also because of something else. One spot on my gum was really swollen and sore. It was hard to believe that it could heal on its own. The same spot has had symptoms many times before, but not this bad. So it's the spot where a wisdom tooth was removed about 20 years ago.
 

So when endometriosis pain subsides, my mouth has been so sore that it's difficult to eat. It makes no sense that I'm developing a bruxism problem at such an "old" age. And when my mouth hurts, it increases stress and bruxism even more.

Nothing can come of this life when there's always something bad or pain going on. I'm starting to feel so exhausted physically and mentally.

Carol of Duty

 

These symptoms started on a night when I couldn't sleep because my heart was pounding from stress, and I happened to see the end an episode of the Walking Dead's  Daryl-series on TV. Carol was there! I had been wondering what happened to Carol for a long time. Carol was a badass like she always is, and she was a special guest star. And later I found out that that was probably the final episode of the season... I always hoped that Daryl and Carol would end up together...

I used to have horrible Walking Dead (affiliate link) addiction, I couldn't stop watching the show even I wanted to. But then I hit a limit when Carl died, and I stopped watching immediately.
