But that constellation of symptoms, as Tep says, should be looked at by a pro.
You never know, and I just hate to mess around with anything that's vaguely in the heart/lung area.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Thrive to spite them
I kept hearing Dean meow - which is something he doesn't do normally. At first it was his usual kind of meow - more a chirp. Then louder and more of an actual meow and insistent.
So I got up to see what was wrong -- I'd accidentally closed Maddie out on the porch.
I don't think she meowed, she will occasionally make a quiet purr-chirp kinda sound. So I don't know if she was scratching at the door, or did a little meow. But as soon as I opened it she ran inside and hid.

and now they are chasing each other back and forth the length of the (not very long) apartment.

I really want to bw in the nonfiction thread about SYTYCD but am watching in hotel room and don't want to be spoiled, and will probably fall asleep before the end!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Had a bit of dinner, then another drink, called my parents, unpacked some random things (I have hangers! And clothes! And soon the twain shall meet!). Starting to figure out where to put some of my framed stuff. The mantelpieces in four rooms make natural showcases for the bigger pieces.
Bed now. Tomorrow, wait for it... more mopping! And unpacking and arranging and so on and so forth.

How is that fucking possible?!

Wow. Just got a friend req on fb from my BFF from high school who I'd lost touch with (her family moved away and it was before much email and stuff). Haven't seen her in...15 years? And damn does she look so different! Or is it my memory of her? Seriously weird. I wonder if she's thinking the same of me! She was very tomboyish, and big, in high school. And all her pictures she looks skinny and very girly.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
You never know, and I just hate to mess around with anything that's vaguely in the heart/lung area.
It's like when my mom went to the ER. Could have been an anxiety attack and could have been a heart attack. It was anxiety but some things should be diagnosed more medically than, "Well, I think you can double up on the Benedryl and Bob's your uncle." and handwaved. Which is my usual way.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
thanks, folks. I passed on to her mom that independent and knowledgeable sources recommend therapy, as well as the other suggestions. Thankfully she's still very skinny so two adults should be able to shove her into the truck just fine. (Ok, that may have been a bit glib. I'm past a glass of wine and ready for bed now.)

not your mom's socks.
Erin_o, lots of teenage survival ~ma for you and your little sister.
Seems my sinus blergh is moving from behind my eyes and into the ear-popping madness making. The doc says this is a good thing. I'm trying not to claw my ears off.
Since why do docs not have ready access to adverse reaction info? I asked if it was possible to dial back the steroid a little, due to the headaches and some jitters. Doc said "steroid shouldn't cause headaches and jitters.". Dude. I have fingers and Google, plus I can read a drug sheet. Headaches: 79%. Anxiety: 55% or something.
