Driving with a Concussion-Driving under the Influence
06/30/2019 I read a new study. Basically it is based on Concussions. Yes, I know. A topic I over empathize. But it is a topic I am close too. So the topic discussed, “Driving with a Concussion is being compared to Driving under the Influence.” Now, I remember suffering from several concussions. Two of which…
CTE ~
06/28/2019. *NOTE* Before we go any further, I must warn you CTE is not very widely understood. There is still research going on in order to study CTE. While tomorrow 06/29/2019 – is Brain Injury Awareness Day (yes there is a post coming then too). I decided to do a bit of an advance post…
Avoiding Burnout
06/23/2019~ I am on the verge of burning out. I don’t know if it is because of my adrenal glands malfunctioning once again. Or if I am just overworking myself. The main Burnout symptoms are; Anxiety Headaches Lack of sleep Fatigue An increasingly cynical outlook on life and work If anyone read my previous post…
Shaky Mental Health
***WARNING: SENSITIVE CONTENT/IMAGES. VIEW WITH CAUTION. 11/06/2019-Ongoing These past two or so weeks have been tough. And honestly, I have no idea why. I am thinking either I am just extremely exhausted (Working 40 hours a week, school ending etc). Another thing is, I haven’t skated in over a week because of the injection procedure. So…
Calming Down Under Stress
So lately, I have been under a shit load of stress. It’s gotten to a point I have no idea how to handle all the stress. And now, while I am still learning about it myself I will try and use what I am finding that works and doesn’t work with all of you guys….
Urticaria
06/17/19 – As you know, I saw an allergist today. For a follow-up on that appointment you can click here. But summary, I was diagnosed with Chronic Urticaria. So what is Chronic Urticaria? When your skin breaks out in hives (red/bumpy/patchy skin). There is no real known cause. Some say it could be an allergic…
Allergy Clinic
06/17/2019 ~ Today was my first appointment at the allergy clinic that came just a few days after I was in the hospital for an allergic reaction. It was in downtown Montreal. So just the waking up early and trying to get downtown for my 10:30 appointment was hell. Not to mention the limited parking…
B12 Deficiency (High & Low)
For years, I have always had a Vitamin B12 Deficiency. It would always fluctuate, some blood tests it would show that it is too high and other times it would show too low. So I will create a brief post on what will happen in both cases We will start out with what happens…
Number 8.
Today (June 11th, 2019) I went for my Spine Injection Procedure #8. And of course. Like almost every other procedure I have had, my period decided to pop up. (Everyone think’s it’s related to the stress). So basically I went in, in the afternoon. There was a lot of people waiting in the room so…
Long day at the Hospital
May 27th, 2019 – I went to a hospital, one where I am being followed by several doctors. Today’s appointment was the rheumatology clinic. My appointment was around 2:30, the doctor was slightly late, nothing later then 10 minutes. But out of all the times he has been on time or early this was nowhere…
Chronic Exhaustion
So these past few days I have been dying of exhaustion. Like I don’t think it is possible to be any more tired then I already am. Now here is the thing. There is one problem. NOTHING HAS CHANGED. My schedule has remained roughly the same. Maybe a few changes here and there but nothing…
