Will Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Damnit. The one day of the week i don't have to be at work until a bit later on and I've been wide awake since 6am. Going to get a haircut and go and check on my car before work, they better have some good news for me or I am going to be mightily pissed off.
Paj! Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Leaving for Orkney this evening, it'll be great. *silence* At least it's not for as long as last year. But then last year I got to go to Berlin and Amsterdam the minute I returned home. *shrugs*
Jimbob Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Apparantly, it's my fault why my parents have no money. But in reality, it is their own fault. Don't buy a second house (meaning 2 lots of bills) and don't let your daughter sponge off you (She owes you a lot as it is). And then don't tell me i have to pay more keep, especially when i could be out of work in less than 2 months and won't be able to afford it. At least wait until i got a more permanent job. Rant over (for now)
MoogleViper Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 A girl from my school started speaking to me on facebook recently. We never really even spoke at school. When we did speak it was only because she was friends with my (now ex) girlfriend. I'm not sure why she's started speaking to me. Does she want my penis?

Yes she does, in and around her.....(the rest is up to you :wink:) So anyway, spent most of today making this video for me and my mates new attempt at a sitcom, called 'When Jew Met Sikh'. Epic.

I just confused as to why she's randomly started speaking to me. Or why she's randomly taken an interest when she hasn't seen me for two years. (If that is the case.)
Raining_again Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 I went to the eye muscle/squint specialist earlier this week, (think I was the only patient over the age of 5 haha) basically my eye has been doing an odd squint of a thing, and they did all these tests with lights, reading lines, and funny things to look through. Seems that i'm more complicated than normal, and need to be referred to a specialist. I've got DVD (dissociated vertical deviation) and its not just a bog standard case either. The nurse practitioner said it'll be something to put in my lenses (prisms I think), or surgery. Neither of which are perfect. And she said she personally didn't want to go the prescriptive prism route given my age (because young children's eyesight tend to correct by itself as they get older whereas adults don't.) So I'm looking at potentially very serious surgery that may or may not even solve the problem. And apart from that i'm having insane balance problems, not sure if its related at all. All the precision in my movements has gone to hell so that's potentially more crap i don't need in my life right now OH and the biggie, did a bit of research and its highly likely that the swine flu vaccine has triggered my bowel problems (crohns) so if you've got a family history don't bloomin' get that vaccine >____> Meh, I'm just struggling with everything. I'm trying to get my health on and evenish keel so I can make an effort to lose weight to help it more. But it's so hard. With the balance issues its hard to do normal stuff without beating the crap out of my body at the gym. And my medications are just buggering up my sugar levels so my diet is just a mess. Immunosuppressants/cytotoxics are known for putting on weight too, and i'm on both. Just can't bloody win. Meds help problems, meds won't let me lose weight, which is attributing to said problems. I havent discussed any of it with my doctor yet, but i'm thinking its serious timez. I dont want to end up with a BMI of over 50 and it be too late to do anything. I just couldn't bear being that person Just feel like i'm constantly losing no matter what I do. Bloody crap. crap crap crap!
jayseven Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 My eye surgery gave me DVD, which they can't fix, and has led to several eye muscle problems that I just don't give a shit about. You can live with DVD if you don't feel conscious about it. Most people don't notice it with me -- mostly because I rarely focus with my left eye at all (wow I'm so lucky) so it only really comes into play when I'm tired or focusing on things which my left eye can focus on, like text in books or on computers (which is why I got additional reading time for my exams, and a 'custom' laptop that... was just a bit dimmer than others, or something). Don't have any invasive surgery if you don't think it really bothers you. My eye haemorrhaged in surgery leading to discoloration of the whites of my eye, my pipil went wonky (still is a bit but nobody can tell) and... well actually all that was pretty cool; That was taken... a week after surgery? It's part of the reason why I'm a drunk arse most of the time. So yeah I just totally turned that one around from about you to about me -- sorryu! I just react like this when eyes are mentioned. If you have any questions about eye stuff that I might be able to help you with then please do ask. I will tell you all that I, and various wiki pages that I may steal from, know on the subject.

I will tell you all that I, and various wiki pages that I may steal from, know on the subject. very interesting nontheless!! At the minute its all very vague and unsure. I've got constant double vision because my eyes are trying to work together after so many years of not. Close up double vision chaos, and far away is just like distorted view... I can see two images and they flicker. I had a squint at 4 months surgery at 11 months (left eye) surgery at 23 months (right eye) The specialist I spoke to noted that it was very quick to get surgery, but by that point my eye was nearly totally turned in to my nose, it was starting to disappear. I suppose I would have gone blind without intervention.. ...which then caused this DVD, 20 years later. I've had it for years upon years, but it got increasingly worse until now with all the problems. Most of the time I could have focused out of the DV but now its gotten to a point where its completely mentally and physically exhausting to do it all day! Nothing is sure, I've got so many complications/history/medications that nobody has a foggies about any of it. Nobody communicates. Eye specialist knows nothing about drugs, Rhematology know nothing about eyes, skin know nothing about gastro, gastro knows nothing about my spinal arthritis. They all have a cause and effect on each other, and I just get so frustrated and want to shout at them all. I dunno how an op would go, they haven't said if it would go ahead or not. I'm thinking my weight would defo be an issue as well. p.s that looks freakin' nasty (also awesome in a weird way haha). :nono: I can see the slight mis-shape there to the pupil, you still have that? Does it affect your sight? I understand how tough it must be for you, sight issues can be so hard to come to terms with.. I hate that I can't see properly, and mines nowhere near as severe as yours!

gaggle64 Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Och Raining, I wish I knew what to say. You too Jay. Sadness all round it seems. *hugs for everybody!* =(

You're roundabout the same age as me, what age is the self correction meant to end? they can use prisms and things like that on a very young child and their brain is able to then use the two eyes in synch correctly. young children are easier to manipulate because they haven't form any solid habit. Whereas my eyes have been functioning on a separate basis for 20 years. They said it could end up making it worse and confusing my brain too :/ Thanks eevil! ^_^
jayseven Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 My left eye has a 'wrinkled' retina thanks to the way that it's effectively impossible to get such a thin bit of tissue back down the way it was in the first place, so my view of the world is distorted to the extent where it is essentially just colours and shapes. Combined with depigmentation in the peripheral of my sight, which affects both of my eyes, my visual field is shrinking slowly. I have a hard time adjusting to light changes, and have very poor contrast skills and no true sense of 3D. I pride myself on people not realising that I'm blind and deaf for ages. I shame myself at how suddenly obvious it then is to them. I'm going to have a bit of a drink tonight, I think. Do you think that even if you went private you'd be able to get all the specialists together? They need to dedicate a House episode to you. Also, do you ever think about just how little we really know about the human body? I often feel like there must be one, maybe minute, but definitely one reason why all my shit has happened to me. I can't explain it very well... but... bleh. You definitely have it worse than me. While I'm slowly falling apart in a fairly predictable and consistent manner, you seem to have a lottery of trouble added continuously at random intervals. Oh, hello forum.
Eenuh Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Urgh sorry to hear about all this Raining. Hope they can figure out what to do. Now I'm wondering though, this DVD stuff, is this what I have too (but horizontal)? I'm getting confused by all the different names and terms. =( Jayseven: what kind of surgery did you have if you don't mind me asking? Did they simply do something to the eye muscles or to the eye itself? I'm scheduled for eye surgery but I'm all scared about it heh. Though they did say my eyes would be red for about three weeks if I do it, so seems that's at least normal... all the rest probably isn't heh.
jayseven Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 They cut the muscles, got the eye out, sliced it open, drained the eye-fluid from behind the detached retina, froze it, put more fluid in, stitched it shut, put a silicone band on it, wedged it back in, gave me a lollipop. That's what I remember, anyway. Order might be slightly wrong. They told me it wasn't supposed to bleed the way it did. But then I had one of the top dudes in the country perform the surgery so maybe his standards are ridiculously high! Might thread rip? Broken N-Ers, unite!
Eenuh Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 God that sounds like a lot to do to an eyeball. No wonder it looked that way. I find eye surgery to be so very scary that I don't want to do it, but then on the other hand the problem really is getting worse and seems to control my life somewhat (constantly worrying about it, trying to correct it etc). I think with all the health problems on N-E, we could fill an entire book heh.

Oh, hello forum. hahahaha hello! =P I didn't even notice you had a hearing aid. I noticed you seemed visually attentive, as in looking at people as if you were very interested. Never thought it was a sight issue. You cope so well day to day, and I just crumble. Jayseven ftw Yes well I'm sure mine could all be attributed to a core problem. My immune system works too fast and attacks its good cells. All of my conditions are linked to immune overproduction. (psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease) I'm starting to see worsening signs of ataxia, which is immune related, and also links in with my severe migraines. Just shows that such a core process in your body causes disruption everywhere... Sometimes I just feel funny. Like parts of my body feel angry. The blood rushes to that area and it pulsates. My skin always gets very angry when its traumatised too. I just feel internally wrong. @Ine It can work in any direction, mine goes up and out, and my right side deviates as well as my left (but to a different degree) they student and nurse were examining me and talking in what felt like a bloody foreign language haha.
jayseven Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Do it most eye surgeries are very successful and totally worth doing. I'm just a bit bitter. Surgery is fun! People give you presents, you get to take drugs LEGALLY and then they even give you a voucher entitling you to FREE DRUGS for a few weeks. And for girls you get flowers and whatever. For boys we get hot nurses! Then afterwards you get family sympathy and time off work/school/the street. FOR GAMES!

I got chocolates right after my surgery which I couldn't even eat myself (wasn't allowed plus was sick anyway). No flowers, no cool drugs (just antibiotics that messed up my bowels haha), no hot nurses, no family sympathy. The best I got though was a game from Aimless (thank you!). =D
Gizmo Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 My eyes are weird. Like, deformed and irregular, yet somehow I have perfect 20/20 vision. Meanwhile, my perfectly ordinary ears struggle to make out anything anybody says to me unless I'm specifically focusing on listening to them, my tastebuds spazz out whenever a complicated taste hits them, and I can very rarely actually smell anything but the strongest of smells. Yeah, I'm a walking contradiction.
Frank Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 Spent almost the entire day finishing Yoshi's Island DS. I had it ages ago but somehow gave up on world 2. Currently, I'm going through a phase of trying to complete all these un-finished games. So, I think after playing that game I'm a little dead inside. At one point, I was one the final level and couldn't get to Bowser so gave up. Eventually I went back and defeated it but OH MY GOD was it difficult! The entire game that is. One of the hardest games I've ever done and it made me want to kill! I'll never look at Yoshi the same again. And when I go to bed all I hear are those babies crying! x__x
Jimbob Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 I'm wondering why i am in work. Got 4 days off as of tomorrow, which is good for a b-day weekend really. And as the office is moving to the Community Centre, things are heading that way now. Which means i am losing things to do. Now, i've lost the post, purchase orders and invoices i do. I no longer ask for payments as it has or will be moved to the centre this afternoon. 3 weeks of nearly nout to do, not good i say
