Health

My eyesight has gotten soooo bad. I attended a presentation last night and I ended up having to squint through the entire thing. I have eyeglasses but I’ve misplaced them so now I have to suffer through presentations looking like I’m scowling. 

Another problem I have with glasses is that I get bored with them so easily. I would love it for around 20 days then after I hate it already.

Is this normal? 

I think I’m going to need a different kind of investment. I think I should invest on treadmills very very soon.  My friend (who is too brutal for words) said “Honey, buying a treadmill tomorrow is about 14 months too late”. OUCH!! Hahaha, I would have to agree with him though.  This is something I should have done ages ago, maybe if I did I would have lost as much as Jen has.

I told you guys that I went to the derma last week and she gave me 4 different things to put on my face. Knowing that I’m extremely sensitive to products, I decided to buy the treatment one at a time. The first two didn’t work so well with me despite their claim of being the best acne treatment there is. I’m now on my 3rd medicine and luckily this seems to be working better for me.

I hope I’m going to have the discipline to apply this medicine every single day…I honestly don’t think I will

Can you believe we got lost in Alabang Town Center? Why do we have to make malls so confusing? All the SM malls are so simple. One straight column….that’s it! Why do the Ayala’s  have to make malls which need a GPS just to navigate.  And to think this mall would be my office for 2 days this week. Hay naku. I sure hope this endeavor will be worth the effort.

I went to the Derma last Thursday. I went through an entire litany of just how bad my skin is and how it’s never been this bad, etc., etc., etc. The derma (who is a friend of my mom) just smiled at me indulgently and said in a nice way that I’m basically overacting and that my skin’s not that bad. She said that she wouldn’t even recommend any serious acne treatment now. She did give me some bleaching agent to help even out my skin tone and she gave me a cleaning.

I can’t think straight, my head is still throbbing. I still have around an hour left here in the office and I’m just hoping I can make it through that hour. I am so close to downing any form of medicine using a beer pong…yes that’s how desperate I am.

My friend Vicki said it might be cause I’m dehydrated. She could be on to something cause I’ve only had one glass of water all day. A far cry from the 3 Liters I used to drink when I was pregnant. I really should think about a lifestyle change…pretty much like what Jen has been undergoing.

Imagine this….having migraine and then having to wake up in the middle of the night because a certain baby (who shall remain nameless) was tugging at your big toe because she was somehow able to reach it from her crib. You somehow manage to wake up and pacify her and lull her back to sleep.

Two hours after, she’s screaming Mama, Mama, Mami again. And of course you’re up…migraines and all.

Then you go to work, you are in a room working under 4 industrial lights and having two glaring computer screens open and taunting you with their light.

AAAAARRRRRGGGH. With the number of pills I’m popping now I am going to need to undergo drug rehab very soon.

I am now a massage addict!!! Luckily there are women in our office walking around giving massages (not for free though) to anyone who needs it. The lines are always long but I often manage to secure one when I really need it. I don’t know why but my back has been giving me trouble lately. I think I’ll have to think of purchasing posture correction pillows or back rests to help ease the tension on my back…either that or I need to be less stressed. I think the first option is a lot easier to do though…hahaha

I am losing patience and hope already, not weight!! I am going to go and try Jen’s weight watcher formula as it seems to work wonders for her. Not to belittle Jen as I know she’s working her ass off just to lose weight. I am going to try it the hard way one more time and eventually I’ll try lipovox.

What’s up with all these illnesses and sicknesses I’ve been hearing about? It’s seems everyone’s getting sick somehow. Some of the illnesses are those I haven’t even heard off like mesothelioma or rosascea (I don’t even know if I’m spelling this well). Is it because of our diet? The preservatives we ingest? The pollution in our environment? I swear I’m getting paranoid already!!

I once wrote a blog entry about fibromyalgia and a lot of people asked me what it is all about. I thought it would be great if I showed you guys what I saw in Wikipedia (they explain things better than I do)

(FM) is a disorder classified by the presence of chronic widespread pain and tactile allodynia.^[1] An example of tactile allodynia is when a person perceives light pressure or the movement of clothes over the skin as painful, whereas a healthy individual will not feel pain. Fibromyalgia patients are often affected by a number of symptoms other than pain, including debilitating fatigue, abnormal sleep architecture ^[2] meaning the brain does not reach all the restorative levels of sleep necessary for overall health, functional bowel disturbances^[3] and a variety of neuropsychiatric problems including cognitive dysfunction ^[4] which can mean short and/or long term memory problems, slowed information processing ability, diminished attention span and anxiety and depressive symptoms

Scary isn’t it?
