    please remember I suffer with severe cognitive dysfunction this may be a confusing read. no AI written content

    Good morning, good afternoon. Hello fellow humanoids, and I trust that you are all well. Whomever or whatever you are, or maybe.

    So, the weekend has finished. And the fog here in the southwest where I live is a real big pea souper, and you can't see out the window for more than about 30 or 40 yards ahead. quite eerie quite strange. I am still getting used to this text to speak and speak to text software that I have installed. And it seems to be causing great deal amounts of problems with the punctuation. So it makes things even more confusing than they usually are. Oh dear, dear me!

    Still, I am getting on well with Zorin Linux. It is absolutely amazing and I am finding it even with my cognitive issues and brain fog. Quite easy to use. It has some really good accessories if you are disabled as well on there and it is quite easy to use. So the change over to Total Linux has been very good indeed. Quite a pleasurable experience, not as bad as I first feared. So yes, it's just a case of getting used to different programs and yes, I am sat there looking at things thinking, how do I do this? But it's all great fun. It just reminds me a little bit of Windows 98. And that wasn't too bad. Well the second edition was better on Windows 98 I must admit.

    But then again we all have to move forward with progress. Yes, I think Linux is the way forward as Windows has lost its way big time. Yes, and I even see on the phone front that Android is starting to lose ground and there are now Linux phones. So I might even have a phone soon with a Linux operating system on there. So how much fun would that be? I think that would be totally cool stuff.

    At the moment the kittens are well not kittens anymore I suppose they're nearly six months old and oh boy they are being really really fussy with their food indeed. The amount of food wastage is not too much but trying to find what they really like and not leave is quite a thing these days. Yes, and both kittens, well, cats now, we think have definite Siamese in them. They are very loud mewers indeed, oh my god. But soon they go to the vets and they will be spayed, so that will be good fun for them for two weeks of wearing weird space helmets and me laughing and watching them bump into things should be good. But at the end of the day I don't need two female pregnant cats with litters and litters of kittens everywhere. Well, I'm eccentric as it is, so could you imagine everybody saying that weird man with the power chair and the house full of errant cats and kittens running everywhere? That's all I really do need. I have only just found out as well that you have to have your cats micro chipped as well, so they're going to have to be micro chipped. Well, I haven't been a cat owner for over 20 years, so I guess well. We didn't have microchips in cats in those days. But I do remember as a young man growing up back in the 70s and 80s, the rumors of people finding cat bells and cat ID tags in certain restaurant foods. I know it was all rumors at the time, but hey, there we go. That was then. But this is now.

    The tinnitus seems to be calming down. It's not as loud as it has been. It seems to be on a very low hum, but of all the time. The moment I get any stress though, the tinnitus goes wild in my head. It's kind of funny. But there we go. I My dad had phoned me on Skype. That's my father in New Zealand. And we were chatting and we were going past a place in North Devon where there was this tower. And as we drove past the whistling or buzzing or humming in my ears started at that point. And it hasn't stopped since then. It's very rare that I get a break from it these days. But it's very strange. I cannot really say anything to help anybody who suffers with tinnitus apart from music usually helps or relaxation, not talking, sitting in a quiet room. I've tried all sorts of different things, but in the end you just get used to it. It's just something that's there all the time and you just can't get rid of it.

    As everybody knows, the worst time is when you wake up. Yes, I suppose six o'clock in the morning when you're awake and your whole body decides that it's going to be dysfunctional for the rest of the day. Yes, those mornings, those mornings that you just feel like you want the world to swallow you up. When you feel like what's the point with the spasms start kicking in and your legs and arms are just shooting off in all directions, that's not pleasant enough. then your tongue and throat starts giving it hell. Yes, and then the low level autonomic dysfunction kicks in as well. So you've got this really weird feeling that the autonomic dysfunction causes, then you have the progressive MS with all the nerve pain that you also suffer to varying degrees in varying parts of the body. Yes, so there you are. If you've got the whole lot and then of course there's the bowels and that is a totally different ballgame as well as everybody probably knows.

    But sometimes, you know, this has been happening every morning for years and years and years for me. And you start getting used to it. And you start thinking, what is the cause of this? Why is this really happening? Why are my bowels and my stomach and whatnot? Why are they all giving me hell? And then I found out it was my gut and the food that I was eating. I thought that vegan food was healthy, but I was wrong because of my autonomic dysfunction and the "Histamine" thing. I cannot eat any food with histamines in, or any food that will cause my body to make histamines and make, you know, otherwise I go into total meltdown with my body, my MS goes berserk. It's just unbelievable. I have spent over 20 years trying to explain what the hell is going on with me to neurologists, to doctors and guess what? They've only finally started taking notice of what I am saying. It's quite unbelievable when you go in there and they just look at you and you tell them how you are and they just look at you and some neurologists are fantastic but some, well, aren't the best. Some are not human, I don't think. I think they're non humanity sort of things stems from their training and the job that they do because it must affect them telling people of conditions and suffering every day. It must be a really, really hard job to do. Especially if you have a very high empathy towards your fellow humanoids.

    I have been meaning to do a bowel special blog post but I keep wincing every time I think about catheters and things like that. So I think that's going to be a bit of a time coming somewhat. The only thing I can suggest for good bowel health is healthy eating, reading the labels of what you're eating, and also remembering that it may say it's healthy on the packet, but the ingredients might not be. Yes, bowel health is very important. When you have had a camera up your rear end a few times, then you'll realize that healthy eating, healthy food and healthy bowels mean good things happening because then your gut will repair itself and then that will help towards healing the body and helping the body stresses which can only be good for people suffering with chronic illness.

    So I have decided that I need another project because I do have some headspace. So I have decided that I am going to make my own AI program and that should be fun. As apparently it is easy to download all the software that you need and of course it is free and i thought well why not. The worst thing that can happen is I might end up having to reinstall my machine. But I could always use virtual machine I suppose, but there we go. I suppose I could get Albertine to put it on her machine and then if her machine goes bang, then I haven't got a problem lol But I think it is highly important to try and keep the brain functioning. Even if you have severe brain fog or cognitive issues, So I am wondering how many years this will take me to do. Some people it might take days, but me, well, I suppose it's going to take me rather a long time. And then there is of course getting round to doing this as well.

    Still, sending everybody peace, healing, love, and light, whomever and whatever you are.

    please remember I suffer with severe cognitive dysfunction this may be a confusing read...some AI medical content

    Well, it's Monday afternoon and I am in quite considerable pain. I can't move my neck to my left or to my right and have been unable to do for a couple of days. Pain is absolutely unbelievably bad news. I'm still carrying on, but let's hope it goes soon. Apparently, I've got some ossyphates in my neck, that's bone growths that also complicate things with

    the progressive MS and the autonomic dysfunction, yes, and a few other things wrong as well. But yeah, multiple sclerosis does not come on its own.

    It can cause other things to happen to you. Indirectly due to the MS and what it does to your body via the nerves. Find enclosed a short brief statement from an AI about what it does.

    AI Stuff Worst-case impacts of progressive Multiple Sclerosis (MS):

    Permanent mobility loss – progressive weakness, spasticity, and balance failure can lead to needing a wheelchair full-time. Paralysis – partial or, in severe cases, near-complete loss of movement in legs or arms. Severe fatigue – crushing, daily exhaustion that doesn’t improve with rest. Chronic neuropathic pain – burning, stabbing, electric-shock sensations. Loss of bladder & bowel control – incontinence or retention requiring catheterization. Sexual dysfunction – reduced sensation, erectile dysfunction, loss of libido. Cognitive decline – slowed thinking, memory problems, poor concentration (β€œbrain fog”). Depression & anxiety – very common; risk of suicidal thoughts is higher than in the general population. Personality or mood changes – emotional lability, irritability, apathy. Speech & swallowing problems – choking risk, need for modified diets or feeding support. Vision loss – optic nerve damage leading to blurred or permanent partial vision loss. Tremors & coordination loss – severe shaking that interferes with eating or writing. Muscle contractures – limbs becoming stiff and fixed due to prolonged immobility. Pressure sores – from long-term wheelchair or bed use. Recurrent infections – especially urinary tract infections and pneumonia. Breathing weakness – in advanced stages, respiratory muscles can be affected. Increased cardiovascular risk – reduced mobility contributes to higher risk of blood clots, deconditioning, and secondary heart strain. Shortened life expectancy (in severe cases) – usually due to complications rather than MS itself. MS doesn’t directly damage heart muscle the way a primary cardiac disease does. But it can disrupt autonomic nervous system pathways in the brainstem and spinal cord β€” the wiring that controls heart rate and rhythm. When those signals misfire, you can see: Heart rhythm abnormalities Conduction issues (like bundle branch block) Unstable heart rate (too fast, too slow, erratic) Blood pressure dysregulation Orthostatic intolerance (feeling faint on standing) On top of that: Reduced mobility β†’ deconditioning of the cardiovascular system Chronic inflammation β†’ increased long-term cardiovascular risk Severe fatigue β†’ less activity β†’ compounding strain on the heart So while doctors sometimes treat heart issues as β€œseparate,” in progressive MS the nervous system disruption can absolutely be part of the cascade. And the frustrating bit? It’s often under-discussed.

    thank you AI

    You see it's not the multiple sclerosis that will kill you. It is often something else. But as the AI pointed out, it's not very well discussed. It's not a very big topic. So I intend to research and do some more on this topic because it might be very interesting to some people.

    I don't think people realize just how our immune system screwed. People with MS and progressive MS have a completely screwed auto immune system. So, just a common cold to us is the worst thing that can happen. Imagine flu or something of that order. That is the worst thing that can happen to somebody with MS. Or a chest infection. That's not the best either. Or sickness and diarrhea. That's even worse. I mean, there's some of these things people don't realize. When you have an altered or a dysfunctional immune system, it causes havoc over all of the body. Yes, it does. It causes total havoc.

    So you have to relearn how to live your life daily because of all the issues that you have. And to be honest, people probably wouldn't realize what you have to do just to overcome one or two simple issues in a day. The fatigue, the brain fog, and the sheer pain and the sheer pain in the head and the pain in the body. And that feeling in the head of, I just can't go on, I've just got to go and lie down. And then when you lay down, you're just as bad as when you were standing up. Yeah, that's fatigue, mental fatigue, stress, and all those things that other people kindly put in a cupboard. and politely do not talk about either, because it is an emotive subject between couples, I would imagine, and even parents and children and parents Who are unfortunate enough to be dealing with multiple sclerosis or any chronic illness.

    So, I have been trying the Linux Mint over the past few days and it has been going quite well. I've only been managing bite size 10 minutes here and 10 minutes there. But I must say I'm learning one or two new things a day and I think that's just enough to be remembering. So on this blog post I decided to use AI Help with some of it, but not all of it, just the bits that are medical so I don't fuck up. Aha!

    The weekend was quite fraught with the kittens who were in season and Missy the kitten has taken to jumping on the top of the door and looking around the room and mewing at us. So yeah, that's all good, isn't it? So she's done most doors in the house now and we've got scratch marks up and down doors. Oh well, that means Tom the painter man's going to have to come round and sort that out.

    Still, I suppose it's the physiotherapist this week, but I may just put him off because I feel really bad, and I think that's what I'm going to do. Hopefully by the end of this next month, we should have the new garage door and side door fitted. We've been waiting for quite a time for this. And hopefully it will coincide with my new power chair, the quickie 300 that I'm getting. I've been waiting a few years, but it's definitely worth it. I'm going to be able to get out and about, and I'm able to go out and live my life and do those things that you just cannot do on the three-wheel trolley of death.

    Talking of the three-wheel trolley of death, we have to head out in the week to go to the chemists. To go and see the AI machine of certain death, destruction and dementia. The chemists machine that distributes the prescriptions. Yes, it always seems to go funny when it sees me it will break down. Yes, it is a machine that hates me. But my three-wheeled machine of death, let's hope the battery is up to doing what it needs to do. As yes, how many more new batteries do we need this year? and the three-wheel trolley of death with the brakes that are non-existent and the balance of a drunk kipper on a night out with a jellyfish whilst drinking whiskey.

    And changing the subject totally, we have seen quite a few white orbs in the living room. We have managed to record them on infrared cameras. And we are looking at the film and seeing what they could possibly be. As many years ago, I would say 30 or 40 years ago, I was handed some photographs by some very strange people claiming to be reporters from a local paper. And they handed me these photographs. And it was pictures of fields and they had these white orbs. And they were bigger than footballs. I would say two or three times the size of footballs. Now, funnily enough, I put these pictures through AI because I thought they were fake. And the AI said these photographs were genuine. But going back, this is probably the early 90s, late 80s when this paper came round. And anyway, I had contacted the paper and they'd never heard of these people before. So yeah, that was quite a mind fuck.

    This is when all the great strangeness started And in real terms has never since gone away. Just because I reported something, 'bufora' and it caused a chain of events which, to be honest with you, has blown my mind for the past 42 plus years. But still, that's life, as they say.

    Still fellow humanoids, I trust you had a great weekend. If you didn't, I can well understand. Anyhow, sending everybody out there, peace, healing, love and light, no matter who or what you are. Especially the sentient ones from all the weird dimensions and places out there. You are no doubt watching us. I'd like to say a big hello, make yourself known.

    please remember I suffer with severe cognitive dysfunction this may be a confusing read...some AI content

    Hello fellow humanoids and I trust everyone out there is feeling slightly better than I am yes it's been another one of those weeks a lot has happened let's hope that you can understand what I'm writing haha as you know when I do these usually I end up having my cognitive dysfunction you know what that's like when you're staring at a piece of paper and you've lost all the words and you've lost all your train of thought and the head hurts haha

    The autonomic dysfunction has started to calm down somewhat, i have modified my diet again to get rid of more histamines it's amazing that even food that doesn't have histamines that causes a reaction in the body that causes the body to make some sort of weird histamine thing below you will find the explanation from the AI as I find it very hard to find the proper words to describe all of it otherwise we would be in a fine pickle trying to understand what I've put down

    Understanding Autonomic Dysfunction and Histamine Intolerance What is Autonomic Dysfunction?

    Autonomic dysfunction refers to an imbalance in the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which regulates involuntary bodily functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and respiratory rate. This can lead to symptoms like fainting, dizziness, fatigue, and more.

    The Role of Histamines

    Histamines are chemicals in the body involved in immune responses, regulating physiological functions, and neurotransmission. They can trigger allergic reactions and affect various bodily systems.

    Histamine Intolerance Explained

    Histamine intolerance occurs when there is an excess of histamine in the body or an inability to break down histamine properly. This can lead to a range of symptoms, including headaches, digestive issues, skin rashes, and respiratory problems.

    Elimination of High-Histamine Foods: Certain foods are naturally high in histamines, such as aged cheeses, fermented products, and processed meats. Removing these can help lessen symptoms.

    Low-Histamine Alternatives: Include fresh meats, certain fish, eggs, fresh vegetables, and gluten-free grains.

    The Impact of Histamine-Releasing Foods: Some foods, even if they are low in histamines, can trigger the body to release its own histamines. Common culprits include tomatoes, strawberries, and chocolate.

    The Benefits of Dietary Changes

    Symptom Relief: Over time, reducing histamine intake can contribute to a noticeable decrease in symptoms associated with autonomic dysfunction. Increased Awareness: Modifying your diet allows you to become more aware of how your body reacts to different foods, fostering a more personalized approach to your health.

    Conclusion

    Your journey toward managing autonomic dysfunction through dietary changes is commendable. By focusing on low-histamine foods and being mindful of histamine triggers, you're taking proactive steps toward better health. Keep experimenting and paying attention to how your body reactsβ€”this awareness is key to finding what works best for you. thank you AI

    So my diet and change your food regimen has really started paying dividends again I have to be very careful and check everything I eat as my body is that sensitive even to the smells can start me off it is quite unbelievable it's taken me a very long time to get the drs to understand what I'm going through

    So now I'm just waiting for an appointment with the neurologist so we'll see how that goes But on a more positive side i have been doing more and more, and I bit the bullet this week and I completely reformatted my machine that's my PC and now running Linux mint

    It's taken me about four years to be truthful to fully install Linux as I was using it on a pen drive and testing it out for a while you know how that goes you can make all the mistakes and not make the system go stupid well it's in stalled on the PC now and it's amazing all the programs that are free with Linux in fact I would go as far as to say some of the programs are so much superior to those of Windows even though my brain fog is quite severe I'm able to Battle through and haven't screwed anything up yet which is amazing so yeah Linux is far more easier for me than Windows as Windows 11 is all AI and stupid haha personally I'm the Window 7 man but there we go

    I have also been doing a lot of research to some of the things that I have been seeing I now have orbs on film that will have been seen regularly in our living room they are white balls of light in varying sizes floating around the room it's quite unbelievable and it's not just me that sees this so I know it's not an optical illusion or to do with my MS

    So that now beggars the question these blue orbs that I see and white small orbs that I see around that are like little stars up to the size of a Sixpence they are still around and I see those a lot and I just wondered if all these orbs are connected if it's to do with some sort of spiritual thing or it's some sort of weirdness that comes from another dimension who knows lol

    Because when I have asked people about what is going on with me they seem to want to placate me and Pat me on the head and say they're there it's all in your head and your imagining everything so yeah I'm going to start showing the film to the doctors and saying what is this then can you work out what I'm going through and how can I can see it there how come albertine can also see it and see them floating around so yeah whose mad then me I don't think so lol

    also there was these weird other things that I've been seeing they have been called time slips or bleed overs or whatever and I did some research on this and guess what the same things have been seen that I seen in those areas in fact it seems to vindicate what I have seen so yes that is another thing that means what I saw on those occasions have been seen by other people over the past 60 plus years unbelievable but there we go and I am still doing more research But I may be lucky.

    Sending everybody peace, healing, love and light to whomever and whatever you are out there.

    hello fellow humanoids cognitive brain fog edition

    So, Rusty One is still in the garage. No need to worry, they said. Everything's okay. It's just another vehicle got stuck on the LIFT, apparently. So, hopefully by tomorrow, Rusty One will be back with us.

    I had a long conversation yesterday with the doctor as Well, and they gave me the results of the ECG test that was strapped to me for a week, some sort of device that really, really was quite okay, wasn't that intrusive. Anyway, the results came back and showed that my heart beat is slower, which also shows some other things and apparently they have now, the doctor has now come to the conclusion that I could be right and I have autonomic dysfunction and I have told her how harsh The symptoms are you will find them listed below.

    Autonomic dysfunction can manifest in various ways, affecting multiple body systems. Here’s a bullet point list of common effects: thanks to duck AI for this list

    • Cardiovascular Issues

      • Abnormal heart rate (tachycardia or bradycardia)
      • Blood pressure fluctuations (hypotension or hypertension)
      • Orthostatic hypotension (dizziness upon standing)
    • Gastrointestinal Problems

      • Gastroparesis (delayed gastric emptying)
      • constipation or diarrhea
      • Nausea and vomiting
    • Respiratory Effects

      • Difficulty in breathing or shortness of breath
      • Respiratory rate abnormalities
    • Thermoregulatory Dysfunction

      • Inability to regulate body temperature
      • Excessive sweating or reduced sweating
    • Urinary Issues

      • Urinary incontinence
      • Difficulty in bladder control
    • Sexual Dysfunction

      • Erectile dysfunction in males
      • Reduced libido or arousal in females
    • Neurological Symptoms

      • Dizziness or lightheadedness
      • Fatigue and weakness
      • Sleep disturbances
    • Emotional and Cognitive Effects

      • Mood swings or anxiety
      • Cognitive dysfunction (difficulty focusing or memory problems)
    • Skin Changes

      • Color changes (pale or flushed skin)
      • Dry or excessively sweaty skin

    These effects vary by individual and may depend on the underlying cause of autonomic dysfunction.

    So you can guess with progressive MS that I am now really getting this sorted out will help. I've gone down the diet route, I still have it, and I suffer most of these side effects. Sickness, diarrhea, the whole lot, you know, it's just nobody seems to understand or care really. You can talk about how you feel and what's going on with you to a doctor. But if the doctor does not understand what you're going through and cannot comprehend and you cannot get the words to make them understand what you're going through, this is where the breakdown of everything occurs. Well that's my personal experience and opinion.

    So what do you think I did? Well I put all my symptoms into an AI. and the AI pointed out that it could be Autonomic Dysfunction. And yes, I spent many hours going through all the symptoms and I started to do what the AI suggested and that was with my diet and as I changed my diet things started to reduce. So I've got my diet down now to the basic bare necessities. I've known for a long time it's been autonomic dysfunction, but trying to tell the people that need to know, well that's been a different matter and it has been a massive struggle over the past eight years. I do not blame anybody personally, I believe lack of communication is what has happened. So now I've had it confirmed by the doctor what it could be. They are getting in contact with the neuro.

    Well of course I've changed hospitals and counties. So that's going to be fun. And hopefully I'm not going to have to start all over again. You know what it's like to begin to view when you roll in and you get prodded in, you get pushed and all that crap. Well I don't stand for that anymore. I say I'm here for that. You know how I am. You've got my records. You don't need to be prodding me. I'm fed up with it. And there you go. But I'll say it in a nice way.

    When I roll in in my power chair, they will have a list of what is going on with me, typed, yes typed, on nice white paper in a crisp font so they can read, because what is the point? Trying to tell somebody something when you have severe brain fog and cognitive issues, because I'm sure with all the best will in the world, they're not going to understand. So remember this people, write down everything that you want to say to your neuro doctor or whomever. That is the best way to be, because then they can understand and then they can answer each query that you have on the list that you've given them. And the great thing is you feel so much better and your head feels so much better that you haven't had to explain everything, that it's just written down or typed down on paper so they can read and understand and then you don't have the stress and you feel so much better and so much more in control of the situation.

    You see, I do use AI and I use it as a very helpful tool to help me speak to doctors and neuros now because it understands by talking to me what I'm trying to say and what I want to say to the doctor or the neuro. So it makes it in a language that they will understand. So then there is no lack of communication and there is no reason for them not misunderstanding. So that is one tool that I use in my arsenal now.

    I don't use the AI when writing my blogs anymore because I found it sanitised it too much. And I thought, well, I'm going to do this raw and it's going to be all over the place, but hey ho, at least I'm trying and at least I'm having a go. So some of the information on here, I did get from AI and that was all the effects of the dysfunction. I am not against AI, in fact, I think AI is one of the greatest inventions or tools ever invented when used by the right people properly. It's all about the programming at the end of the day. And yes, it can help with all those everyday mundane tasks as well and no, I'm not sponsored by any AI company.

    Still, that's it from me, wishing everybody out there a fantastic weekend ahead, sending everybody who reads this, "Peace, healing, love and light, whomever and whatever you are

    ⚠️ Please read with care: This blog shares personal, sometimes very painful experiences. My intention is to support and speak honestly not to harm. I’m not a professional, just someone who understands how hard it can get. If you're struggling, you're not alone please reach out for professional help.

    hello fellow Humanoids So it's Friday afternoon and I'm looking out of the window and the rain and the wind is howling absolutely everywhere. Well, the outcome of this week has been okay I suppose. The AA man came out and he put the new battery on our rusty one. And then we were told the starter motor is iffy. So rusty one needs a recondition starter motor. Oh the joys. Rusty old vans I should know and then there's all the other bits and pieces that have to be done with it as well. The weather here and the salt air really doesn't do the van any favours but it has to be done I suppose.

    Still, I've got a list of exercises from my physiotherapist to be doing to help. That was an interesting morning for sure, doing all that, as we got the dates wrong, and that was funny as well. Yeah. We thought it was the 28th and it wasn't. We got it wrong, oh dear me, never mind. But it all got sorted out. And I have a list of exercises I have to do in the mornings and evenings. So there we go, that should help with not getting to muscular atrophy as they call it I think.

    Since I am no longer putting what I write through the artificial intelligence, I don't know whether this is a good or a bad thing or not. Do people want my raw voice? As it comes on the paper, spelling mistakes and all the other murdering of the British language that I do. Order people want me to put what I do through the AI and make it sound a bit more flowery and a bit more nice and a bit more sanitized. What do people want the bitter truth? Or do they want sanitisation? This is what I ask myself.

    This blog isn't about having millions of people looking at what I have written and what I'm going through. It's about maybe two or three people reading it and finding some sort of help in my life, in my madness that is me. And if it helps people or a few people that's what it's all about in the end. I now have Missy the kitten looking at me and viewing as though to say, feed me please.

    Still, it's now Saturday morning and it is absolutely chucking it down with rain. The clouds are dark as can be. It's just so unreal. Again today my head feels like a big pea souper. But there we go. I woke up in the night with the usual left hand side pain. When those nerves start going, my God there is no let up. And the pain is absolutely unbelievable. It's all to do with the way. I know this is not a good thing to talk about how the feces lies in the colon or the tube leading to the bum.

    And all the nerves are up from my anus all the way up to the top of the throat. So all my nerves are like atomic bombs going off. So, as the poo goes through the tubes, it's nuclear bombs, you know what that's like. And the only way the pain ever really dulls down is when you've had a poo. And that's if you can have a poo, because nine times out of ten with all the medications, a lot of people find that constipation is a really, really bad side effect to a lot of modern day medications.

    So, the thing is, you need to hydrate like crazy really. You need to drink a lot and take lots of nice fibre. I know. I tried all the medicines or the things to make you go, things to make you stuff. I've tried and been down the chemists and the doctors for all these problems, but I managed to sort most of it out myself by the change of diet, which has completely got rid of any constipation, and now I go regularly every morning without fail. I put this down to my total change of diet due to my histamine issues with my auto-monic dysfunction and my multiple sclerosis and the vagus nerve etc so I am on a limited diet.

    So yes, just a basic flatbread with what? Four Or five ingredients? That makes all the difference. And I've managed to have it tailored to my specific tastes and needs. And my word, it really does work. No more constipation issues and going like a gooden as they say here. I will put a recipe up for the flatbread at some time. So you can see what you can put in it and how good it is for you. My word it, does an half change your stomach and your gut. I haven't felt this stomach good in absolutely years. My acid in my throat and stomach has stopped. It's unbelievable the changes.

    Still, I hope you don't find this too boring, but yeah, it's been a bit of a bitch of a week and it's been very expensive. Rusty One now has to have a new starter motor, which, well, let's face it, is gonna cost. Still, I have my appointment for to go to see my new power chair. Yes, that apparently is in February, so I look forward to that. A nice three hour round trip. Why, they couldn't do that at my local hospital. Well, I do now. Do now. No. So there we go. Still, that's it from me and it might be more interesting next time round. But until then, sending everybody peace, healing, love and light, no matter whom or whatever or wherever you are in whatever universe or multiverse or place.

    Hello fellow humanoids

    So it looks like it's going to be maybe a weekly blog now. Yes, things are not going too well at the moment for me and my MS. Still, at least I will try and do some more. Things are looking a little better, but unfortunately this brain fog just will not let me go. No matter what I do. It seems to be hitting me with an a vengeance I haven't had in a long time.

    The only good news is in three weeks time I get a phone call from my doctor about the results on my week under the heart monitor. Still three weeks time. To me that's okay really because if it was anything to worry about that a God in touch as the test was done over two months ago now. I've got the physio guy coming over again as well. Yes, he's going to give me some exercises to help me, apparently with my issues. Very nice chap, had some very interesting conversations with him, a very switched on person. And certainly did his job well and knew what he was doing.

    So now they've referred me again to the language and speech people. This should be interesting as it's a different hospital in a different county. So we will see what happens. I know where I lived last time. I had a lot of help and the guy who did the therapy was very good indeed.

    Well, the kittens are about four months old, so no longer little innocent kittens, are they? I have never seen so much anarchy in my life as those two kittens. They run absolute riot everywhere. They say, "Yeah, you get it, they're fussy about their food." Yes, unfortunately, we've tried many kitten foods, but alas, they seem to turn their nose up at them. And we've even tried the expensive ones as well, and they turned their noses up at those. So, I don't know. I'm looking forward to when they're six months old and I can feed them adult cat food. Or even other types of food.

    Still, there we go. It's interesting finding cats perched on tops of doors, perched on tops of furniture you'd never thought they'd get the top of. It really is funny, and to see them climbing around as I zoom over trying to pick the kitten up after shelf without knocking everything, it is like unbelievable. It's a complete mindfuck I can tell you. When you're as banged up as I am, trying to get a kitten off something is just like trying to get hold of an electric eel covered in grease. It is neon impossible.

    So, missi and Tiggy run rings around meand my powerchair. And to be fair, they are funny as a funny thing on funny. Yeah, they sort of take my mind off a lot of what I'm going through. In fact, they take my mind off quite a lot of what I'm going through. In fact, I would say these cats are bigger medicine than medicine, to be honest with you. They seem to have this effect of balance in me out, making me laugh, making me smile and just generally making my life a lot happier. So yeah, I still have the pain, I still have the confusion. I still can't walk. Yeah, I'm still stuck in a chair. But hey, at least I'm laughing again. That's more than can be said for earlier on last year when I thought that was it for me, dead man walking.

    So yeah, for me it was the most positive thing I have done in a very, very long time. It was just a point of finding out what animal would be best for me, either a dog or a cat. In the end it turned out to be two cats or kittens and they have helped me immensely. I must say they really have helped me. Cats just seem to have this other sense, this other worldliness about them.

    When I wake up in the morning, who greets me first thing by licking my nose and biting it but tiggy, saying hello and then Missy will come up and she will sniff my nose and rub her nose and my nose and go off and they both say hello to me. They both say hello to me when I roll past and mew and say hello, hello and I'll stop and I'll say hello and we'll all make a fuss and then we'll look at my poor hands and it's a good job I can't feel much because my hands are ripped to shreds. They matter blood everywhere because those cats can really really really really play like there's no tomorrow but hey ho every scratch as a memory as they say but when you get scratched it doesn't hurt until maybe a day later you wash your hands or something. That's the problem with MS you just can't feel much but there we go. That's life I suppose.

    So it's taking me all weekend just to write this. It's Monday morning and I've had no sleep at all on Sunday night. And I feel like absolute hell today. I've got raging pins and needles in my hands and in my throat and yes I'm getting that sharp like stabbing pin in my right eye. Yes how exciting and the tinnitus is really loud this morning as well. So, there go my plans for today and going out and everything that I wanted to do. Yes, the AA man won't be here until I phone up or Albertine phones up. So we can actually take the van out and charge the battery up when it started, but I am feeling so ill it's... I can't be asked to even do this some days. Still, it could be worse. I could be sat in front of the fridge with the door open, getting warm.

    But there is an upside, a very positive side. Since I have had my diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, I have done so much with my life. It is unbelievable. Some things I thought I would never accomplish and that I would never do. And that will be my next blog post. MS isn't the end of your life. It's a new beginning. It will take you down paths you never knew existed. It will be a truthful mind-bending no-holds-barred blog post. And I look forward to doing it.

    Sending everybody peace, healing, love and light no matter who or whom you are.

I’m not a professional, just someone who understands how hard it can get. If you're struggling, you're not alone please reach out for professional help.

    So here I am today thinking it's Sunday when it's in all reality Wednesday. Yes, it seems that I've got my days rather mixed up. It seems everything just goes into nothing. I suppose it's hard really. When you think about it, it's really hard sometimes to think and to think with clarity. And then if you've got to think about things that are, say, from a while back, it may have problems and it hurts my head. Some days are better than others, but it's cognitive fog is really starting to get me down.

    I want to be in a dark room with my eyes closed listening to gentle soothing music, smoking a reefer or a joint or whatever you call it. No I'd rather be doing something different with my mind but I can't. I hate these days of extreme fog. I hate them. I hate being able to do nothing. It's the worst feeling ever. I still haven't phoned up the AA and got it together to get them to come and sort my van out either. So yeah I don't even think I've been out. So yeah that's how I'm feeling at the moment. I just feel as though everything's just too much.

    And the cold well, get real shall we? Let's get real about the cold and how much it's costing on the heating. I'm spending 60 pounds a week on heating. That is unbelievable. I'm now having to cut down on my food because I can't afford to eat properly due to my issues that I have with my diet. So being retired now and on a pension it does not go very far and the sort of food I need in my diet has to have no histamines in. And also food that won't cause my body to produce histamines. So yes it's an expensive diet. So I'm either going to go cold or I'm going to go hungry. I haven't decided yet which. It's incredible that every single last penny that I have is now spent on bills. I have to scrimp and save all my savings have gone. Everything's gone. I find myself looking around for the old pennies and ten peas around. It's no joke now. Things are getting quite desperate. And I suppose it's going to cost 200+ quid for a new van battery. So yeah, I'm going to have to go without something else as well now. So yeah, it's all very well, but when you're in the position of being disabled, things aren't very easy. People seem to think we have an easy life, but I do beg to differ.

    And the worst thing is there are people even worse off than myself. So yeah, I do see the way things are. And things are getting quite hard at the moment. But I'm going to try and hang on in there for as long as I can. As I'm sure things will probably slowly start to get better. I can't wait for the warmth to come. I can't wait to see that sun beaming through, giving me my vitamin E. Yes, I'm looking forward to the summer and the spring. My favourite times of the year.

    The tinnitus at the moment is raging in my head and for some reason in the middle, well no it's in my right ear. It's all about an in chin on my right ear and it is playing a symphony of the whistling that is awful and today no matter what music I play it's not hiding the fact, not even white noise. It seems to be on one of those I'm gonna make you suffer days. Anyhow I'm gonna have to stop here as my eyes and now really really hurting as well. So yeah wishing everybody peace-healing love and light wherever you are whoever you are and yeah there we go.

    So we had the storm. Oh my god, the rain came down like a torrent that you would not believe. It was like Revelation and Armageddon the way that rain came and the way the wind just blew and blew. I could just hear everything clanging and just smashing around outside. I just hope when I go outside later in the power chair that it's nothing too expensive. But such is life when you are living in the Windy south West. A lot of trains have been cancelled and a lot of buses as well. But that's normal around here. And there's power cuts everywhere. That's also normal around here. But they don't last that long, thankfully.

    So I also had the local physio around yesterday and he assessed me so that assessment should be interesting, very nice chap indeed, all sorted. Just waiting now for the other people to get in touch with me, hospitals and doctors, etc. I shall give it another couple of days and then I suppose I'm going to have to make some phone calls and see where we are. Or I suppose emails be better. There's nothing like having me on the other end of the phone when I'm in one of my cognitive funks. And I can't think of words. There's nothing more annoying than that I get really annoyed. as when you're trying to find simple words like, I don't, I can't give an example really, but just simple words or sentences or you change what you were talking about midway through and people can't follow what you're talking about sometimes and you find cognitively that you are all over the place. That's what I'm like these days and I have been for quite a long time and I think a lot of people don't realise just how common this is with multiple sclerosis and severe cognitive disorders in general.

    So, I have found a bowel hack for MS. Basically, I found that I have been having made for me a flat bread made with all natural ingredients. Natural strong brown flour, you know, a little bit of olive oil, a bit of salt, a bit of yeast, blah blah blah mixed together. And then put on a griddle, blah blah blah with a load of ground linseed in. Now, the hack is linseed makes all you're pooping easier. There is no need for me to take laxatives or to have any gut wrenching medications to make me go. I had so many bowel issues they nearly gave me a colostomy bag, and I said no. And I'm glad I said no to the colostomy bag because I sorted my own issue out.

    When you realize with MS, the nerves in the body cause your bowels to get totally fucked up, which causes issues with urination and also with pooing. I have spent most of my life with bowel issues due to MS and that auto whatever it is I've got wrong with me and I can tell you I have never had a period of time where my pooing has been so good and with this complete change of my daily food intake diet making sure there are no histamines in the food I am at last not having bad stomachs acid and I've managed to get my gut health back to some sort of personal semblance so for me personally changes have been long but I now know what I can and cannot eat so I am like a forensic scientist going through a piece of food looking at it seeing what's in it the whole nine yards so yeah diet is so important with chronic illness I did not realize food causes so many issues when you look into it it's an absolute minefield but if I'd have sorted my diet out 20 or 30 or even 40 years ago I don't think I would be as bad as I am now truthfully It's not just looking at labels either. What I've been doing is I've been putting the label through the AI and it's been giving me the total truth on the ingredients and what they do to my autonomic dysfunction in my MS and the causes and how it makes things worse. So yeah, I've gone down to a forensic level on my food diet and I've also done that with my medications as well that I take.

    I take nothing that will give me any side effects as unfortunately if there's a side effect on the packet, I get it. You know, my body is hypersensitive due to my condition. But there we go, who would have thought that MS could have caused my heart conditions that I have? You wouldn't. But when your vagus nerve and your automatic or ortomunic dysfunction is going berserk due to histamines, you know, it causes heart issues. I didn't know that, but people, please, please remember this is my own personal journey and remember if you have any symptoms or any weirdness, see your physician or your neuro people or your MS nurse or whomever you speak to. Seek professional help always. Remember that.

    And remember MS is a very, very, very scary journey. Anybody who says is not, is a liar. MS has been very scary for me. It's a massive headfuck. It really does fuck with your head and your cognitive issues, you know, the pain, everything. It really does send your head into some very, very strange places. And even I admit here now that it has caused me mental issues and I have even had to seek help due to this. So if you are suffering in any way, you really do seek help. It is something that a lot of people don't talk about. But yes, I have had mental health issues over the last past eight years and I say to people, get help because help is something that will get you out of a place that you have got no need to be in. MS is a cruel mistress, as I say, but don't let it beat you. Always fight it. Treat MS as something that is just plain horrible and just fight it tooth and nail for everything that you are worth. Give it a run for its money like I do.

    I try not to let it beat me. Even when you are at your worst, even when you are at your lowest point, even when the pain is so bad that you want to give up, even though everything is crushing you, stick your middle finger up to the MS and say, "Stuff you bastard, you're not going to beat me." Be positive, fight the illness, I know I have for the past 40 odd years, and yeah, it's been hard, it's been harsh, but I tell you what, I wouldn't change my life for anything now, because life is to be lived and it is to learn, and what I have, I accepted a long time ago, and I know my future isn't bright or brilliant, but I've accepted what and who I am.

    Yes, I may be marmite man and have no friends, I may say what I think, and I may have a tinfoil hat on, and I may say strange things, and I may see things, but I'm just being me. Hey, let's all just be ourselves .... because we have all had to change our lives and we have all had to adapt in many ways because of our illnesses and the adaption is hard. Yes it is, but we eventually do get there, we eventually do change the way we do things and we change our lives to a life that a person, a normal person wouldn't even recognise. So yeah, we give up everything really, we give up friendships, lives, normal lives, we get looked at funnily, we get laughed at when we're in a wheelchair, get called names even. But I don't really care about all that. I just care about myself and my close family and Albertine. I care about our future and happiness.

    Still I send peace, healing, love and light to everyone who reads this and wish them a pleasant weekend when it arrives and let's hope the weather calms down in the southwest of England. Oh yes, and I'm still stuck indoors, still waiting to phone up the AA so I can get rusty one started up so I can take myself down to the wheelchair centre in February and trial out my new wheelchair. The saga goes on but I wouldn't have it any other way.

    Still, it's Tuesday afternoon and the ice is still here. It's absolutely everywhere. We were speaking to one of the delivery drivers this morning and they were saying that the roads are treacherous all around us at the moment. So even if I wanted to go out, I couldn't. I'm trapped in by the icy cold roads and what seems to be some sort of weird ice storm. I've never really known Frost like it on a car, winscreen. No, no, it was absolutely thick as you like. Albertine put a whole tin of the deicer and it didn't shift it. So the upshot was, we didn't end up going to my appointment at the hospital because we were stuck here with no vehicles because we're still trying to sort out the AA for Rusty One. Hopefully he should be sorted out soon. And yes, apparently next month I get to go and try out these new wheelchairs. So that's awesome news indeed.

    It is just so cold here. It's like living in a refrigerator With the door open and the light on for warmth. It is that freaking cold Yes, it's making my whole body ache It's just doing things that I don't like really I don't really want to talk about it. But what I do want to talk about is yeah this going mad stuff and the things that I am seeing and What people are telling me? So I'm going to put a breakdown of over the years what has happened to me on a post blog post here and then we're gonna see if anybody can say hey, I've had an experience like that or Yeah, I think it is MS You know, I think it is to do with your communic dysfunctional whatever it's called I am in that cannot be asked mode today as well, which isn't very good. The tinnitus has died down for a change. So that's good. My eyesight is starting to feel a lot better. And I'm starting to make a very slow recovery back to the well to hopefully what I was a month or so ago. I am still waiting for the neuro people to get in touch with me from the new hospital but it is Christmas after all and I'm still waiting for the doctors to get in touch with me for all my cardio results so that also should be very interesting as well

    So I suppose my biggest concern is what is going on around me with my mental health maybe. These things that I am seeing and that I am hearing, I have spoken to many people and I keep saying this and I need to speak to people who have had similar experiences but I am not finding anybody who has yet to want to speak to me about these experiences. So if there is anybody who reads this I really would be interested in speaking to you on a personal level about this. Still, that's it from me. Take care everybody and remember I just forgot.

    all those holidays are finally over. Hopefully now we can get back to some sort of semblance. But alas, the winter has struck. It's minus two here and we have snow. As I look out of the window, the snow is just settled, looking up, shining as the sun hits it, saying, "Come Walk on me and let me break your leg, ah ha! So yeah, I'm hoping that we don't get snow tomorrow and the weather goes above freezing. As yes, you've guessed it, I have to go a three hour round trip just to go and see if the wheelchair I am getting is the right one for me. Albertine was lucky, she had it done at a local hospital, but it seems to me everything's different as usual and if it's snowing it will be a sorry, can't come and then it will be a how many year wait again.

    Then I have three text messages from the local chemist telling me that the local machine has my prescription in. Oh yes, the prescription machine, the machine of death that falls out with me because it does not like me. It goes bleep bleep, you've broken me. How many times have I used this machine and how many times has it been nice to me? I think the ghost in the machine is out to get me. It really does surprise me how they can get so many things into such a small machine, but there we go, that's technology I suppose. Tap in a number, out comes your prescription. Sometimes it does, but sometimes it can get stuck and then you have to wait and wait and wait. Personally, I cannot wait till they start delivering around this area because that will solve all my problems.

    So yeah, I'm waiting for the results of that week's long ECG and I'm waiting for the doctors to get in touch with me. And I am also waiting for the physiotherapist team who are supposed to be coming over to see me this week or next week. And yes, oh the joys, hopefully soon I might be able to go to the new neuro unit near here and have them try take a look at me and sort me out with all this weirdness that I'm going through, which just seems to be getting worse, I seem to be in a permanent brain fog and agitated. My God, the pins and needles and tinnitus are on so loud it's unbelievable today. So I'm gonna have to turn the music up and go and, well, if it carries on like this, I'm gonna go and just lie down and listen to some music and just hope this all goes. It's awful, really.

    The sensations and the feelings that you get are mind fucking. Sometimes I can just sit there or just lie there and all those feelings in the body, it's unbelievable, you just sort of can't explain it, it feels awful. I don't really have words to explain the feeling that I go through 24/7, because words really cannot explain how I feel, because everybody with multiple sclerosis has a different take on it, mine is progressive, and I also have this auto whatever thing going on with me as well. So yeah, and also a heart thing that's now going on, so yeah, MS is a bitch, but you can get all sorts of other things, MS never comes on its own.

    I suppose the longer I live with this, the more my mental health startS to become affected. So yes, I can quite honestly say that I am going through some mental health issues at the moment while I feel as though I am. I'm also going through this spiritual sort of thing. I'm also trying to get answers to seeing things and hearing things, wondering if it's my MS or wondering what the hell is going on with me, because I've been trying to get answers for years and nobody will give me a definitive truth to what I need to know.

    I am seeing spheres in the bedroom, big spheres two foot in height, well two foot round with lines like black banding going through them. I'm seeing cubes floating with millions of little black cubes, solid black cubes inside a massive big black cube. It's unbelievable some of the things I'm seeing. I'm seeing ghosts maybe, I'm seeing figures, I'm hearing voices. Is this normal for MS? I know I keep asking other people but nobody wants to answer me. Am I going around the twist? What the hell is going on? Nobody really does understand anything do they? I had a conversation with the AI and it said it was down to my autonomic dysfunction and then I questioned it about some other answers it gave me three months ago and it completely backtracked on me so now the AI says to me "oh well everything that you see and everything that's happening to you even though there's spiritual proof and evidence of things that have happened to me it's all in your head so even the AI seems to think it's in my head but hey ho I think the AI is fucking stupid

    The problem is the AI cannot understand anything if you go outside the parameters or its guidelines or try to get an understanding of something. It will either give you what you need to hear or it will give you what others want you to know which is blatantly not true. That's why I have a problem with AI. Well not AI as in search but the people who program the AI. They're the people. If AI is self learning that's a good thing isn't it? But do we have rogue sentient AI out there? Are we being told things? I don't know. I'm going to go and get my tinfoil hat and I'm going to put it on. And then I'm just going to have a mighty think about everything that's impossible and try and blow my mind even more than it's already blown through this dense concrete mush of stupid brain stew.

    So, as I sit here in my old broken Chinese chair, I think to myself I hope the snow abates tomorrow. Oh, and I haven't even been in touch with the AA yet because I've got a dead van battery to sort out. So, that is going to be quite interesting. Yes, here's hoping that my wheelchair batteries aren't down to zero. Oh, dear. I don't know. Still, hopefully I may put some more words up. I may not, but I'm in a pretty weird place at the moment. Yeah. If you've got MS, you'll know what a weird place is. I'm IN LOL
