Ballad of balls update: a young woman smeared lube all over my balls before and looked deep in them. 

 

It's not cancer but doesn't look like inflammation either so they don't know why I'm in such discomfort

I had something similar and it lasted for months, turned out to be a hydrocele. It's been gone now for over a year but I feel your pain, it's very unsettling and uncomfortable. Hopefully yours clears up.

Similar here. I still have mine but nobody but urologists touch mine so it doesnt really matter much.

Agreed, I wish they'd fuck off as well.

went into the doctors this morning, and suggested that I should have a prostate exam as I'd never had one.  "OK, climb up on the couch and I'll do it now" he says.  Very little in the way of foreplay, tbh.  Quarter past eight and a finger up me hoop.  What a way to start the day!

Receptionists need to stop doing that.

It's worth asking for the full PSI test Pete, to be sure. Bit undignified though!

Is that something to do with my spare tyre?  Or does it involve tromboning? Count me in.

They do various blood tests and a couple of weeks later you get something the size of JCB rammed up your arse.

Getting these brain fogs happening now. It’s been happening again since Thursday but on a lesser scale. Can’t even begin to describe it really. That night I ended up in hospital was one of the strangest nights of my life. Some of the time I didn’t know who I was, where I was or what was going on. Every time I woke up it was like starting all over again. Totally bizarre.
 

Got an MRI and they’ve found some new lesions in my brain. I don’t know if that’s what’s causing my head to go all fucked up but the neuro can’t come up with any other explanation. 

 

This is the worst it’s ever been, man. It normally only lasts a few days but a week’s gone by now. For the last three days I’ve woken up thinking it was over and done with, gone (lightly) about my business and then crashed hard in the afternoon. It’s an improvement from feeling horrible all day but I just need it gone now. 

I could genuinely cry. I’m useless when I’m like this. I’m alright when I’m lying down looking at my phone or the TV but if I have to engage in real life conversation or do something physical I just can’t. Not an ideal situation when I’ve got the kids here. 
 

I’m sat here googling Adderall. Legal amphetamines basically. Anything to make it go away. It’s sometimes prescribed here for MS apparently, even though it’s mainly a drug for ADHD.

 

Every time I’ve asked my MS nurse for a specific drug she’s just written out a prescription straight away. Somehow I don’t think it’s gonna fly this time. 
 

Anyone got any whizz?

[Captain Turdseye]

You know when you just make it to the shitter in the nick of time? I’m like that but instead of running to the toilet I just desperately need to sit down. The couch, the bed, the stairs, the floor. Doesn’t matter what it is, I just need to be off my feet immediately.

The wealth of the super rich doubled during the pandemic so its only a matter of time before it trickles down and we can fund our NHS to an even greater level.

Hopefully your TA is honest with the class about why you’re not there.

You're not having a good time are you. 

 

If it's a relapse or a flare up a week is no time in my experience I hate to say.

 

In my view the best thing to do here is to try to not let it get on top of you.

Easier said than done sometimes but worrying and stressing will more than likely slow down your recovery. 

 

I could be wrong here but as far as I'm aware there isn't a particular treatment for brain fog.

The usual treatment for relapses, or it was with me, is a course of steroids given intravenously over 3 days, but I'm not sure if that's an option here.

I'm not a Doctor though so what do I know apart from anger, frustration, worry and stress can all have a negative impact which is something you don't want or need. Keeping calm is.

 

Rest, recuperate and recover.

Look after yourself John.
