This page will attempt to be a daily log of my medical situation and also some ideas.
Putting a group of vitamins and medicines together for a specific purpose like sleep or energy is a good idea. for a while I have been putting different things into different kits in my bathroom, like i have a tooth brushing kit with a toothbrush, toothpaste, toothpicks, and mouthwash. I also tried to put a list of life extension/age reversal/"immortality" vitamins together. This week(today is 10-8-2023) I realized that sleep is a really big problem for me, maybe my biggest medical problem. Sleep is very useful for healing, vitamin absorption, just the ability to function. If i don't sleep it doesn't matter if i have energy, because my mind will be too clouded. so I made a sleep stack. I don't know exactly what is a kit and what is a stack. but I think a stack is more pills you're taking, and a kit has more hard tools, things like hair brushes in it. though the sleep stack does actually have mouthwash and tea in it, and maybe it could have something like a sleep mask, but that's very situational. a kit could have a stack inside of it, probably should. Maybe there should be an overall plan too like using parts of the eyecare kit along with the sleep stack. Maybe the kit is actually the smaller one sometimes, at in terms of what it's for, like it's task specific. Like the hair care kit would be just to brush my hair after a shower. A hair care stack would be to do something longer term goal like prevent my hair from turning grey. I don't think i'll make a stack for that, it will be part of the standard immortality stack as that's basically vitamin b12. They're just pointless terms, but i'm trying to describe to myself what i'm doing. It's easy to see what I'm doing with this though. The sleep stack currently looks like this: Insert picture here.
I need to fix my back, it was severely damaged after a strange migraine i had. I also lost all ability to exercise and need to change the way i exercise. I need to not train for a cage fight or a war but instead for my actual life. So i need to go to physical therapy and actually start getting up, going to pf, and doing that. Then i should do that one new barbell curl. Then i can run, but only a little.
I need to create good vitamin stacks.
need to improve diet
I need to go to sleep before 1:00am every night, exercise and eat breakfast every morning, and organize my houses. I also need to call a bunch of doctors. I should list them here again.
Phone numbers:
First Choice Dental Middleton: 608-836-1020
First Choice Dental Waunakee: 608-849-5600
Robert Pollan (dentist downtown): 608-256-6839
Situation:
First choice quoted me 1k, then charged me 1,300, but I just talked to the person who gave me the quote. Her name is Carissa and
she works in waunakee which is where i talked to her on 10/13/2023. I need to know her name and stuff not only to try to marry her for her money, but also,
because she's the only one who knows about the original quote. Her systems were down, but she did remember and also remembered
that my follow up appointments where i am going to get dentures were also going to be covered or greatly discounted. She said she was going
to call middleton about the follow up appointments and call me back. If this doesn't happen, I should start calling them both regularly because
I have to have these follow up appointments because it's part of the bone graft surgery. I feel like i want to just ignore this, but i need to
stay on it.
-Carissa said she would call back but i don't think she did. The systems are down there today. I'll try to talk to them on friday morning.
Still things are looking better. Maybe i'll get the follow up appointment set up, the one where i am supposed to get dentures, which yes
those are for old people and no i'm not old because i'm reversing my age, but they're going to be a temporary measure, because i know there's
going to be a way to actually regrow teeth in 2030 and so i'm just going to have dentures for 7 years, i don't want implants because of 1. the cost
2. they will interfere with the teeth regrowth technology. But i'm just trying to get the next appointment, that's what this note is about so enough
about the long term stuff.
Other situation:
Because i'm worried about my other teeth, especially after the failed root canal, i went to an appointment with another dentist, Robert Pollan,
and he gave me a quote which i still have and put in my extremely important document section of my desk. His appointment was $79, but he did
some extra x rays and that was an additional $205, but the front desk still only charged me $79 even though i tried to ask them about it.
so now they sent me a bill and i have to call them about that. Also I have an appointment with him on january 8th. He does seem to be a dentist
for sure, like his quote is a total of $3000. But also he seems to be the only one willing to do preventative care, and it's nice to have an independent
dentist to talk to, because it's hard to trust first choice sometimes, because maybe they knew my tooth would get reinfected and just wanted to do the
root canal and extraction, and maybe dentists do this to everyone. So that might be a completely crazy thing to think, but try losing your back tooth
and not feeling a little bit salty about it sometimes. So what's wrong with having 2 or more dentists in order to get second opinions? and there's nothing
wrong with finding a dentist who is more into the preventative fillings and prevention in general instead of expensive major surgeries and cleanings.
So I guess I've got 2 expensive dentists now instead of just one. Robert Pollan probably suspects that i intentionally didn't pay, which yeah, i didn't
argue too hard when they said it was $79, and i said are you sure, and they said yeah, but i also wasn't sure if they actually did the "extra" x ray
or not, and in general i've been spending a ton of money that i don't have on dentists.
Robert Pollan's assistant, Dechen, talked to me, texted me, waived the charge.
I'm still going to go back for the appointment on January 8th. I'll still try to pay it then, but it may be gone now.
Texted me again, it's definitely gone. Appointment still seems to be intact, this worked out well i guess. i made some pretty good phone calls today.
I did sleep a little bit better after drinking the tea, taking the melatonin, I guess I never really really focused this much on sleep before, like i might have taken nyquil or taken one thing or another, but i've never just done it all at once. I Have to remember to go to dentist appointment at 2:00 tomorrow. Also should try to make an appointment with sarah smith.
I had a very nice appointment with my eye doctor, the last appointment i forgot to mention was good too. She sees that i have miobeme gland disfunction and explained once again that those glands are what adds oil to my tears, so my eyes are extremely dry. She is refilling my deoxycycline hyclate perscription. She actually found a physical problem that she can see and wants to treat, instead of just referring me to someone else or telling me its all in my head. She's a true doctor or healer in the old sense. Not just reading from the epic database about how profitable they think i am to keep alive and reading some script about how i should leave. She wants to help me with my other problems, but can't, at least not in 20 minutes, because she's just an eye doctor. She talks to me like a friend or family member, about odd topics like eyelash mites and mites in general, about alternative treatments and things she's tried, like a human. I'd like to be her friend in real life, like friend, not even merely marry her because she's hot and rich, but actually i enjoy talking to her, i'd be her friend, how odd, and of course she's married already, (and way too young because i'm stupidly old now, though the immortality project should fix that), so it would be only trying to be her friend, but i can't risk losing a good doctor so i won't try. But i will move her to my list of doctors i want to keep seeing, that includes the lypoma removing doctor on the east side who really helped me a couple of months ago, my regular doctor who i think is pretty good, does the job, and a physical therapist i used to see but lost track of but i'll try to make an appointment to see him again and restart my posture exercises.
i need to remember to make a list of good doctors and bad doctors.
maybe i should make a list of what i consider all my medical problems to be too.
I feel pretty sick today. I've been having continued problems in my jaw/neck, but the doctors already refused to help me.
I need to someday find treatment outside of the uw system, maybe outside of wisconsin, maybe the mayo clinic in minneapolis
or a hospital in sydney australia, but for that i'd need to be rich. Of course there's alternative medicine people too, but
i may as well call myself one of them, i don't know if they could really help me. I might have to find a way to cure this
neck/jaw thing myself.
Also, I'm going to try to get some proper magnesium, not oxide but citrate today.
There's a special magnesium supplement i want but it's too expensive, for now i'll find some cheap citrate powder if i can.
I have started a new sleep schkedule. I've been trying to go to sleep and wake up earlier. I plan to get some magnesium of the
correct type, not oxide, but citrate.
- also refilled all my perscriptions at the beginning of the month.
need to refill perscriptions, I plan to do it on Wednesday.
visited an ent doctor. Dr. Hartig. I know he looks fine but there's something wrong with all of them. Disappointing as always. He said the thing in my neck is a lypmh node caused by acne, but he wasn't sure and didn't care. he investigated another thing that they found on the right side of my neck but of course decided it was nothing too. He told me that the two things they do are surgery and nasal spray. Seemed a bit angry and had an attitude like i should be tough and i should deal with it, very unlike the helpful attitude with the orthopedic people have about my shoulder. I wrote a one star review of them on google reviews. I don't plan to go back to uw health ent ever. Maybe I can see an allergist or a sleep specialist or other workaround or somehow get to the mayo clinic or a real hospital in a real city someday.
i saw some videos that made me very afraid of parasites. I'm sure i have them and everyone else does too. I plan to do something about this. Probably eating herbs, maybe doing a full diet. might start list including tansy, cloves, cayenne, etc. In fact this could determine what i want to plant this year.
this isn't the video that scared me but i need to study things like this.
i've been sick, like cold sick for days, but it seemed to clear up a little today finally. i have some sort of doctor's appointment early in the morning on the 16th that i should try to not forget about.
Having lots of eye pain this morning, back of eye too. kind of ok other than that.
Things aren't much better, later today i have to remember to refill my perscriptions and inject myself with emgality. and renew/fix all my different kinds of insurance.
known doctors appointments: february 16th: ent, talk about nose, back of eye pain, bump in jaw, tinnitis, everything.
march 13th: eye doctor: back of eye pain, ask for continued treatment.
april 21st: migraine doctor: ask about journal, life help, medication options, etc.
The past week has been pretty bad, on any of the past 7 days i could have said i'm dying, even right now i've got some head pain, some tinnitis, some eye pain, pretty much nothing is right, but at least the reading and writing seems to be fully back. In other news though I changed my diet, this is not the cause of my problems because i didn't change my diet until somewhere during the middle of the troubles, it's kind of a reaction to it. Raddishes might be a way to fight mucus, mold, and candida, they also might fight sinus infections and they are cheap, and maybe i can eat them instead of cheese and crackers. I also started drinking a bolthouse farms carrot ginger tumeric drink. I saw a video where a guy used a juicer to make a drink with raddishes, ginger, and tumeric. Now I don't really have a juicer, and I suspect doing this would be very messy and take lots of effort, lots of chopping vegetables, lots of rotted vegatables in the vegetable drawer, etc. So I'm just buying the bolthouse farms drink that is pretty similar but has carrots instead of raddishes. I also buy and eat raddishes. I put all my chopping and preparation efforts into just making several little containers full of raddishes, and I chop them before i wash them, then wash them in a strainer, I don't wash them one at a time because that is much harder, less efficient, and makes my hands cold, so makes me not want to do it. This cut then wash method seems much easier. I feel like My sinuses are bothering me a a lot less, like this has an effect on mucus levels. I am eating normal red raddishes from pick and save that cost $1.99, probably creates 3 containers. However, there are many types of raddishes, like i don't know, daikon raddishes for example that seem to have various levels of the different raddish health effects, which i should maybe list in some gardening page. It might be kind of cool to grow like 20 different colors/types of raddishes and cut them all up and make containers with a large variety of them. or eat a different kind every day, if i keep eating them that is, which kind of doesn't seem likely, but i hope i do.
scheduled ent appointment for february 16th at 8:20. seems like a long time, the thing in my neck/jaw hurts and they don't believe me.
Scheduled a migraine doctor appointment, Friday April 21, 2023 11:30 AM CDT. Also I'm considering moving this health stuff, none of it is really a project like making a table would be. it's a bit personal, not that very many people are going to see this site, and this site does allow me to kind of quickly make different small sites about different things and this is one of the things, but maybe i should just put this stuff somewhere else by itself, but i will just leave it for now, as no one is looking anyway.
I've had a very tough weekend, I got serious migraines on Friday, Saturday, and monday. Sunday I wasn't doing very well either. I have had lots of blindness, numbness, tinnitis, nasal pain, chest pain. It's been like stroke like or anueresm aneurysm like symptoms. The first headache hit at the end of the workday on friday, i just punched out and went home. My job is not at all stressful by the way, i have everything about it figured out and under control and nothing was happening at the end of the day. I tried to just go home and go to bed and I woke up the next morning and tried to recover but again lost my eyesight and had to call in sick. On sunday my bones and muscles, back were still all in a lot of pain, but i managed to go to work, and got a little better as the day went on, i even considered trying to exercise but decided that would be very dumb after i started to get dizzy for a few minutes. Next morning, today, monday the 16th, i was hoping it would be over but it wasn't The eyes wanted to go, but i was able to rest and medicate my way out of it. Took me hours to get to the point where i can write this. I wasn't able to get to this point pretty much all weekend.
woke up a bit late, about 10:00am, have not been starting the day off right, some confusion, dizziness, trying to get out of it.
hearing protection had to be used last night to protect left ear from ringing. and some sort of noise or i'm not sure what. I should try to record this next time.
I went to get the thing in my neck/jaw xrayed in the mri. I am waiting to hear back about it from the doctor.
unfortunately, they said that they also saw it in older xrays of mine from years ago. I know it wasn't
there before 2022, or i feel that way, and it definitely never bothered me or i never noticed it
before 2022. They referred me to ent though. Hopefully i can use that to get to an ent who
is not the audiologist. (i should try to learn his name better, so i can avoid him and go to any
other ent).
i need to remember to call neurology, call ent, check walgreens for and deoxycycline refills for eyes.
Of course I set my alarm wrong and did not get to the xray at 7:45. The doctor was going to call me too, but now may be on a vacation. Doctor was likely disappointed after what really felt like such a breakthrough, i was disappointed in myself for this, but it happened because i just changed my alarm for the wrong group of days, friday, saturday, and sunday. Kind of a result of my unconventional schedule.
On monday I saw sarah smith. Every one of the 7 cuts was red, dry, irritated, infected. My other skin infection was bad too. I actually barely got there due to nausea. It was on the east side. My dad had taken me to the one on the 26th because my car was getting fixed at the time, another problem. I finally got to watch the turn as a calm passenger instead of a very nervous pilot, and i finally learned how to take the exit to american parkway correctly without getting lost, that took 20 years. So even in a semi migraine, semi conscious state, i was able to turn off the highway at the first turn but not take the too early one or the too late one in that weird 3 exit place on the east side, well i understand it now even if i can't write it. That exit has been a source of a lot of pain over the years, important missed appointments, etc. But anyway with my skin in a worse state than i remember it ever being in, and kind of in a state of near death, i was ready to have 5 more of them cut out of me, but she decided to actually help me instead. She gave me a back of methylprednisolone and some creams, and some advice about some otc drugs. It was a real relief, i felt it was a real turning point. With the weather warming up and a nice cup of coffee, i drove home the slow way, past matc and through downtown, but it wasn't busy traffic in the snow, it was sunny and nice, very few other cars around. The tide turned, and though i had some dizziness today(january 10th) My skin has been getting better and my headaches have felt better since this possible turning of the tide.
For about a half a month, after thinking i was geting better, I have been destroyed by a series of migraines and migraine recoveries. Maybe related to exercise, maybe related to back issues, maybe related to a possible infection on the top left of my neck under my jaw. If it's not an infection it's a swollen lympth node, the dentist once said it was a dental ulcer but changed his mind. It has been ignored by several doctors and avoided by my dentist, kind of abused by an audioliologist, but another thing that has been happening is i got an appointment to remove some lypomas. I got to see a doctor i had seen many years ago, sarah smith, and she took out 7 of them all at once. She seems to be a real pro now, an actual doctor. She also did not ignore or pretend not to see the thing under my jaw and instead ordered an xray. That was some time in the middle of december, i'll check, December 26th. After checking i also remember i missed a very important neurology appointment on december 2nd, one that i need to reschedule. I missed it because of a migraine. My skin was overwhelmed by the number of cuts, i don't know i'f i've really had 7 cuts all over my body before, it's usually all in one place at a time. They all got irritated, maybe infected, and i got another skin infection too.
