Depression fking sucks............................................................................

...new laboratory procedures, based on genomics and protein biochemistry, to screen, with claims of 70% accuracy, for 8 of the most common solid tissue neoplasms. Apparently those for blood, skin and lymphatic tumors are in the hopper. Great news? Be careful, folks, what you ask for. Aa-A-V.

In 1918 Spanish flu swept the world, killing an estimated 50 million people.

100 years later, Aussie flu (as it is called except in the US) is knocking people down like ninepins. Some aren’t getting up.

We live in an age where exaggeration is rife, everything is the biggest and the best and the worst, so when people say this is the next Spanish flu, well, take everything said with a pinch of salt. Whatever you call it, it is a type A influenza, H3N2, bad news.

This isn’t usual flu. It isn’t even man flu. It’s worse.

In the US it has become the most widespread in 12 years, affecting all but 2 states (as at 2 days ago) and has officially been declared an epidemic. It has been spreading in the UK and Europe for a bit longer, and the mutating virus is becoming more serious.

H3N2 flu has been around since late 2017 but it won't go away and is spreading worldwide. Some doctors are treating with antibiotics, others say it is mutating so fast that antibiotics won’t help.

Don’t tough it out. Those with bad cases couldn't go out if they wanted to, they are too weak, but keep warm, take plenty of liquids, treat the symptoms and don’t push yourself. This one is bad.

Officially, my forced labor season ends today; working 18 hours a day, seven days a week, for 45 days.

One of those days I met a gentleman of advanced age and successful seller of fine watches, Rolex; today at 2 o'clock in the morning, driving on a mountain road and brooding bitterly over the short novels of H. Murakami, suddenly, a comment came to my memory, from this merchant: "- Luis, men are children until they meet 120 years old- "; On the radio a Louis Armstrong piece sounds, suddenly the news cut of the time, interrupts the programming and something especially disturbing, spooky is heard in the baffles of the pick up truck: - "Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it's a lot bigger and more powerful than his, and my Button works! " Trump tweeted.-

WTF, mine is bigger than yours! After dark, a brutal disagreement with reality.

I think the old one has bad energy. Don’t want any negativity in the boudoir

there are an awful lot people telling me what to think about this or think about that.
Well I am afraid that you will all just have to let me think about it.

First it was suck it up. Move on. Get over it. Then slowly we learned that if not addressed properly, unresolved issues as sequellae to trauma (war, rape, child abuse, etc.) have a way of ruining lives, in those less resilient unfortunates, as mentioned in my previous rants here. Now we are seeing that trauma for some can alter the genome epigenetically. So the offspring of Holocaust survivors (where early work was done) have altered stress biochemistry, and process trauma differently from control populations. Shouldn't surprise anyone. Aa.

Millions world wide---tens of thousands in the EU and USA alone. After extensive medical and laboratory investigations, having seen many competent nurses and physicians, including those from complementary/alternative traditions, the health profession is clueless as to what plagues these unfortunate folks. Closest we come is to group them into some sort of possibly post infectious or environmental toxicity syndromes, with strong inflammatory, auto immune and possibly epigenetic causes. These are the achey and painy depressed low energy types, those every practitioner dreads having in their surgery. Usually what ails them doesn't kill them, but merely simmers on for years. Often they get turfed to Psychiatrists, typically the hairdressers of medicine. But not always so. Aa.

I have had severe man flu for a couple of days, I was relieved to have actually woken up today.
My will is up to date and the house keys have been left at the coffee bar for my next of kin or thieves.

Its apparently worse than labour pain, I am so weak I find changing the TV channels a hard task, its taken me 3 hours to make soup and find a warm enough blanket, I hope I live through until tomorrow, I may have some interesting near death experiences to share with you all...........provided I survive.

What do the men here do to ensure survival?

Why dont women understand the life threatening agony on man flu?

Would you ask her out for date, All my rules in my head say no but my heart says yes
