I just had the thought that te reason the chronic pain tag is unsearchable/unusable is because it has the initials CP.

Yea that’s been a running theory for a while now. Except other tags that also have CP as the initials don’t get flagged either. It’s utterly bizarre.

Hi, I'm really sorry if this is a suggestion you've already known about and decided that it won't work for reasons but I was wondering if you thought you might also be suffering from your gut bacteria being all out of wack? It may well be the case due to your very limited diet which starves certain kinds but now you can tolerate more foods you may benefit from a bacteria transplant or less difficult is good old pro and prebiotics. Just a tentative suggestion that may be worth mentioning. Sorry.

Don’t feel the need to apologize, I recognize when suggestions are kindly meant and it’s a valid one for someone in my situation.

Compromised gut bacteria is something I know I’m affected by, especially since the Death Virus 2.0 incident two years ago that resulted in me losing the ability to eat all foods six weeks. I’ve suspected SIBO for a long time, but I’ve struggled to get a doctor who knows what that even is or how to treat it—my old shit gastro doctor said SIBO was for people in denial about their IBS and not making “the appropriate lifestyle changes”, inferring that I was lying about sticking to my diet. He was a quack. Hated him.

My current nutritionist is working with me to get help figuring this out. I’m limited in the types of treatment I can pursue due to my histamine intolerance (and a lot of probiotics are incredibly high in histamines) but I’ve managed to put a couple of prebiotic foods back into my diet and bacteria transplant is maybe an option, just one I haven’t had a chance to fully investigate and explore when the last two years or so of my life have just been stumbling from one medical crisis to another just trying to make it out alive. Now that the pernicious anemia is under control and I have one less thing trying to take me off the face of the earth, I can buckle down on repairing the damage :)

I got a wisdom tooth out today. Apparently i have really really long roots. Like an inch. It was a bugger to get out and my neck hurts from trying to hold my head still. Don't know; thought you'd be intrested and I'm on ibprophan and codine.

DUUUDE.  That’s crazy, roots that long definitely make for a difficult extraction. Were you awake for it?  Good job if you were, that’s pretty metal.  :D  Take it easy this weekend!

feet, hips, ears, nose

Feet: Favorite pair of shoes?

My Converse-type shoes. Casual and androgynous, and comfortable. Perfect.

Hips: Do you like to dance?

Ehhh not particularly? I don’t really dance.

Ears: How many piercings do you have (if any)?

I’m not sure if I have any right now. I had my lobes pierced, but I think they’ve since healed over. I also used to have a piercing in my cartilage, but that had to be taken out and is healed up too.

NOSE: What is your favorite perfume/candle fragrance?

I’m not big on perfumes or candles, but I like the smell of vanilla.

Books! 5, 13, 15, 21, 26, 29, 35 and 40

5: Favorite series and why

Oohhhh jeez I don’t know??? I always used to love the Warrior Cats series, and there’s a really interesting series called The Kin that I like? Warrior Cats because it was interesting and a really fun read, The Kin because it was a pretty unique concept.

13: What character would be your best friend in real life?

Oohhh boy.... I could probably get on with Tim Murphy. I think we could totally be buds.

15: Post a shelfie.

Haha sadly since I moved there’s not any room in my bedroom for an actual bookshelf like I used to have, so all I have is one shelf with just a select few books. I’ll have to get a picture of my old bookcases though, one of them is a re-purposed wardrobe.

21: Do you loan your books?

Occasionally, but not often tbh. Mainly because people don’t tend to ask to borrow my books. I have before, though.

26: Do you read from recommendations or whatever book catches your eye?

I tend to read things that really catch my interest, but I will totally check out a recommendation if I think it sounds interesting and like my kind of book.

29: Favorite female protagonist.

Oh man um.... I’ve always loved Tracy Beaker, tbh. Or George from The Famous Five!!

35: What do you think of Ebooks

*shrugs* If people wanna read ebooks then fine. I tend to do most of my reading online anyway, and it saves space, so. Go for it.

40: Has there ever been a book you wish you could un-read?

Carrie by Stephen King tbh. It was such a shitty book? It wasn’t interesting at all and the style of it was just really strange. I much preferred the films of it.

4, 13, 22, 31, 40, 49, 58, 65

4: Have you ever changed for someone?

Hmmm... Not like... hugely I don’t think? I’ve changed some things, but nothing that was like... a key part of me. Just things that probably needed changed anyway.

13: What's one thing you regret saying/doing in a previous relationship?

I.... don’t know, I can’t think of anything??

22: Do you think people should date their friends?

I think people should date whoever they like. I personally think friends are probably a good way to go - after all, you already know you get on with them! - but hey, it depends how you feel.

31: Would it bother you if your partner suffered from any mental illness?

Considering that I also suffer mental illness, and I have had partners before with their own problems, no. I won’t be happy to see them unhappy, but I will of course be happy to help them when I can.

40: Have you ever had a valentine?

Yes I have! I remember one guy in my class buying me some lovely gummy heart sweets when we were like, 7? It was adorable.

49: Have you ever broken someone's heart?

I dunno. I don’t think so?

58: Are you the "dominant" or the "submissive" part in a relationship?

LOL idk I tend to think of myself as the more submissive. I don’t like being in charge tbh.

65: Would you consider yourself a "cuddler"?

Hahaha YES. B has had to prise me off him several times because I seek out warmth and cuddles in the night :p
