It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

JZ what/who are you talking to.

My neck pain is coming back on and I'm about to break the procedure lady rule and call 2x in 24hr. I'm not as afraid of her wroth as I am of sleeping upright multiple nights.

Colin's back has gone out, so we had a good long chat, He's very different about his stuff, but good to talk to nonetheless.

If I repeatedly stab myself in the neck to make the pain go away "the voices insisted...." tell my parents I'm sorry for extending their funeral a weekend run in any way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

BANANAS. And apparently there was a tornado warning??

I can believe it!

For those Buffistas playing from outside Somerville, the sun is now shining in my backyard.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Pain was better today, which makes me think neck tendonitis/traps tightness because being upright and working the pain was very intermittent, rather than me lounging around for the long weekend where the pain was non-stop no matter what I did (poor posture aggravating the situation, which I did notice that when I sat up straight it reduced the pain). Still had bouts of simply incapable of doing anything but grimacing and breathing deeply, but they did go away after about five minutes. But not triggered by anything for the most part.

But as I type the pain comes back.

Chiro on Wednesday, waiting for the dentist to call me back.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

§ ita §, to le nubian about the background and aftermath of the last sequence on this radio show, which I'm being mildly cryptic about because it's such an awful story, so well told, that I don't really want to spoil it for anyone who wants to click and listen.

If I could stab your pain in the neck without touching your actual self, I would stab the shit out of it and kick it to the curb.

And quite randomly, the pain (not intense) has travelled also to my ear. Which I've read is a side effect of both toothaches and tension headaches.

Please dear god let it be tendonitis, because it's less expensive and the solution is also less painful and invasive.

Julie, it's also a symptom of TMJ. One thing the TMJ specialist told me that helps is keeping the tip of your tongue on the roof of your mouth. It's weird, but it keeps you from tensing your jaw muscles.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Julie - it also sounds similar to what I went through with my mouth pain. Trigeminal nueralgia. The Lyrica is finally doing its thing and I've had a week of good days!!!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That is excellent news, Suzi!
