You people express to me warmth and sympathy that I deny others. Why ? What makes me so deserving ? Of course I have my good points, but I don't think anymore than most here. When I started this thread I was expecting some advice, as I know there are intelligent people here. I expected it in a stoic a manner as I give it.

I have studied human behavior. You, in responding have expressed a sense of caring, of actually giving a shit, like family. This is hard to do but because of all this I think maybe you can't help but express it, by your choice of words, this and that. You couldn't do that if you tried, but you didn't try really it just came out. And I have seen it.

To you really I am just words on the screen, but of course you know someone typoed them :-) But who ? I have been in here promoting eugenics, euthenasia, capital punishment and survival of the fittest. These are harsh words from a Man who might die slipping on a banana peel tomorrow morning. And I do not give up on these views even in the case of my own plight, which some might even call hubris. Some may even call it ignorance if they do not know the strength of my convictions.

Yet still except in the case of an actual argument, I am treated with care and respect by people all over the world who have never met me. I am touched.

Now understand what that means to me, my whole family does not know the words "I love you". I can barely get up a please or thank you. I consider those words nothing but gestures, which are in effect acting, which is actually lying. Like at work one day, I helped the kid, he said thank you. I retorted "Don't thank me, we are a team, I get paid by the hour, does a quarterback thank the linemen every time he doesn't get sacked ? ". Fucker is from South Africa so maybe soccer would have been a better analogy, but oh well. I think I got the point across.

I know I am close to hijacking my own thread, but so what. You have piqued my curiousity now, I am a nasty MF. I live like a hillbilly and love every minute of it. I would shoot my own Mother but I just won't. Your dog eats my pot plant I'll have him in fucking spaghetti sauce in about five hours. I've done alot of bad things, and I have not paid for these, I got away with it. I work enough to get shit paid, even when not sick, I really don't have alot of ambition anymore. I want to sue someone for millions so I never have to work again, but I want to do it without getting injured in any way. I freely admit all these things and they are true. If you like me now perhaps I should write a detailed autobiography. That should fix it. LOL

It would probably not work, because y'all already know too much anyway. Most who read me already know that I have shot up the family home with a 12 guage, and tried to burn it down. That is pretty fucking bad. I am not proud of it of course and I have no excuse. If you didn't know that sorry. I have indeed changed vastly though, you don't understand how careful now that I am usually when it comes to others' lives and/or well being. I don't think I can express it. I have changed, that's easy to see, but that still does not erase the past. LIVEEVIL is a palindrome, and if split, and stuck on the scales of justice, my life would equal evil. Not live. I know this.

The question at this point is of course why do you like me ? All most of you have is text, but I have some who give me their phone numbers, offer money, or stop over with a shitload of beer. What is it that comes through my text somehow ? People try to do this and fail every day, can anyone shed some light on this ? I am not special. I am a fucking criminal who belongs in prison for ten years. Instead I get to do three days in a nice air conditioned suburban jail. I don't deserve to have it this good.

It isn't fair ! Funny hearing that from me huh ? Mostly you get that from people who got the short end of the stick, but the fact is I got a lot bigger end of the stick than many. I have been extremely lucky.

I don't know what I am trying to say here. Maybe part of it that just because you like my posts, don't like me automatically. While I try to be cool, my definition of that may differ more than slightly from your's. Health or no health I can be a hard MF to deal with when I want to be. I can be a real prick, and in ways you never could imagine.

So why do I get such good treatment ? Can anyone even attempt to answer that ?

I am not everyone so I can only answer for myself.  The two of us got to know one another here..geez..years ago now as well as any two people can get to know one another on the internet.  Trading stories, etc. 
Even if we had not, I have empathy for my fellow man.  Regardless of what you have done in life here on this planet doesn't give me the right to judge you.  Now attack me unjustly and I'll judge all over the place. 
I know your history of taking care of your health.  I know you have never been the best.  The whole body heals itself..well that idea is a sham.  Sure, it can heal to an extent but it needs help.  Just as my foot needed surgery. 
Basically for many, you are their family.  For those who have issues being honest with themselves let alone their family you might just be words on a screen but you know them better than anyone else does.  You also show a lot of yourself in posts..and hey none of us are perfect.  We take you for what you are, even though you can be abrasive at times.

So, get over it and accept the love you are shown.  Also get to the doctor you could have something seriously wrong with you.

Status: offline 		Pshah. Y'all are just chokin me up, hang on while I grab a beer. (4.5 second delay due to superior ergonomic design)

I am feeling a bit better at the moment. But that doesn't change the fact that I did relapse recently. Again I got rid of the matress. It has been said that possibly I am reinfecting myself somehow. I was never a very clean person, and it never bothered me, but it may be now. So the new mattress is on the floor and my headboard is just up against the wall. Confy enough for now. So last night I roll over and inadvertently, because I was pretty much sleeping, grabbed said headboard and brought it toppling down upon myself. At first I said "What the fuck !", but then I started laughing. This is so ridiculous I should find a way to word it for my thread "Whatthefuckisms".

The person who asserted that I may be reinfecting myself knows how strong my immune system used to be, and figures whatever got to me is really fucking powerful. Once the ball is rolling I will push for a full blood workup. But the way he sees it, even with changing sheets and all that when you sweat some of it gets through. Then it comes back. And one piece of evidense that supports that is that I am feeling a bit better and I did function well today on short sleep.

That headboard doesn't mean shit to me, it is destined to go behind a table actually and provide a place to put stuff, like maybe a phone, my router and modem, some books, shit like that. But it is time for a new, proper bed. The only problem is I might have to join the matress of the month club. If that's the case all they have to be is new, I don't need the expensive kind because I don't expect them to last very long. I am not going to sleep on rubber sheets. I might lay on rubber sheets for a session, like just in case someone wanted to whip the last little bit of piss out of me, but I won't sleep on them.

Now say I do this, how to get rid of the old matresses ? Of course the garbagemen will take them, they take anything here. I bet I could throw dead bodies out there and they would go into the truck like anything alse, as long as they were cut up into pieces that were not too heavy. (that could be a problem with some people I know) But someone in a pickup truck picked up my old matress. It was said "You'll be sorry". Indeed if our suspicions are correct, I don't think it's right to just not do anything about that. They could get very sick and die. I don't wish that on strangers, unless they piss me off of course. But the thing looked pretty much new, no stain, nothing like that.

But then the really nice one that we now believe infected me looked just as good.

I don't like waste. But dammit, if these things are poison I should at least try to do something. The best I can come up with right now is to drag each one out back and burn a big hole in the middle of it. Get charcoal lighter fluid and give it a good squirt, enough to burn half of it away from the middle. Then even someone who is REALLY desparate would at least have to cover it with THEIR OWN blankets. Not mine. Beats dying.

Shit, you know what this means ? If we are right and get my fighting chance a regain my health, by the time all the appointments are done for SS, I probably won't qualify.

I have done a lot of reevaluating these days. I have to realize that I turn fifty next month. The kid at work has good eyes and sometimes I have to have him look at the PC boards for faults or change some of the smaller components. But when I do that I have to take the PC board out of the unit for the poor baby. He won't get down on the floor with a scope, laptop and meter and troubleshoot. Even the other guy, he is fifty but he doesn't like sitting on the floor and bending down, he'll put a 70" TV up on a rickety old stand with one inch diameter wheel to avoid it. I think that is dangerous, even without injury it costs money if it falls. So I do what I do. But now I find that I must get up periodically because if I sit too long it is difficult to get up. I used to just stand straight up with nothing on which to hold at all from sitting with my legs crossed. Once up I would hop and uncross my legs. This is only about four or five years ago. Now if I sit that way for an hour I almost can't walk. But I do recover from that. Stretch my legs, walk around, go downstairs and have a smoke, whatever.

Now I try to make it a point to get up every fifteen minutes or so. I do unless it screws up my train of thought, which is the most important thing in my job. To me, I am topped out in wages in the industry, so I can't get a raise so I consider this appropriate. So sitting there for a bit too long to solve the problem is no longer considered standard operating procedure, I consider it above and beyond the call.

And, no matter how bad things are, fire me if you don't like it.

As I probably said, I don't really care if SS ever sends me a check. I am doing this to get fixed. Once fixed I will do something. The TV business is dying, of that there is no doubt. But I can do some kickass remodeling. The problem there is that I will need to be able to see and have a good amount of physical strength and stamina. I enjoy house remodeling, it gives like a sense of accompishment because part of the job is usually to build......something. My buddy and I remodeled a house for Colin Powell's personal chef BTW. He was very pleased, but that was detracted by a couple of stupid mistakes made by the too young gutting crew. (they threw out a big brass piece for one of the fireplace inserts) But we increased the value of his house probably about tenfold. I like that kind of work.

I know how to get and keep a job. I have only applied for two jobs in my life I didn't get, maybe three. I have been fired only twice. I also know how to sell myself on a personal level, like a contractor, and I know how to do the the work as well as my limitations.

The problem now is that those limitations have become too oppressive.

We'll see what happens. On the homefront things seem to be boiling down, or settling down. Again, we'll see.

So I will be off to rabblerouse. Try to catch up a little sleep. hopefully without furniture hitting me in the face tonight. But of course, I'll be baaaaack.

Status: offline 		Termy, I know you are not going to like the comparison...but I solved two problems at the same time by doing this years ago.
 
First off, my kid had asthma attacks when he went to bed.  The pillow was hypoallergenic...so the new bed was the problem.  Next, um, he kept wetting the bed.  I tried rubber sheets, but he sweat like crazy.  Then...I bought a hospital bed matress...AND...put a big fluffy comforter on top, then anchored it in place with a fitted sheet.
 
He didn't overheat.  The comforter was washable.  And because the matress was all sealed up no dust mites or mold could flourish.
 
I wish your room could have a dehumidifier. 
 
Doesn't that black mold live in your body a bit?  Without something plastic, you might keep reinfecting the bed?  It's been over a month since I read up on black mold. 
 
As for the old matresses...how about a tarp held edges up outside, maybe tied to chair legs, with the mattress on the ground.  Saturate the sucker with bleach water, have someone stand it up and lean up against something to let it drain.  If it's a soggy mess, then who would want it?  And if you bleached it till it was soggy, the mold spores would be dead, right?
 
Guilt free garbage. 
 
I am finally finished with some evil drop I've been in since yesterday, and I am too tired to read up on how a person might reinfect themselves with black mold, if that is indeed possible.  I am curious though.
 
Glad that you are doing a little better.

You may want to buy an air mattress in the future. I think if I were going through them. I'd buy air..if nothing else I could throw some bleach on it..scrub it down...dry it off and bring it back inside. New mattress. Of course I like bleach.

I even clean the carpets with bleach...so yeah you could literally eat off of my floors.

Got to ask Cynthia...what does it mean to have black mold living inside of you?

The very reason people have been talking about wanting you to go to a doctor IS because you are cared about and they are concerned for your health and wellbeing.

Having the mattress on the floor is a bad idea as that limits air circulation and floors can be very damp.
I think sealing the matress in a zippered covering is one thing, but a makeshift plastic cover is something else again... a bit of moisture can get in and then your problem begins again.
A dehumidifier in the summer that is religously emptied and the collector cleaned appropriately would be a good thing to have.

Termy, your new doctor mentioned the possibility of liver issues... and so as someone who does care about you even though like in most families there are things we widely differ in opinion on, your desire to continue indulging in your beer pleasure does worry me.

Got to ask Cynthia...what does it mean to have black mold living inside of you?

I'm lucky, and I haven't reacted to mold.  My son does though.  A house we lived in had a damp wall, and I had to bleach it down every so often.  Then we fixed where the water was getting in, from the runoff uphill behind the house.
 
http://toxic-black-mold-info.com/moldhealth.htm#Invasive  This site will better answer any question better than I ever could.  Maybe you could also ask Termy what affect on his health this has had.
 
I have had chemos, and my body is great at killing viruses but lands in serious trouble with bacteria.  I don't know if that has anything to do with the type of cancer I had.  If I ever have to have chemo again, mold could be a big problem.
 
My blind neighbor across the street finally doesn't need to have dialysis anymore because she has had a kidney transplant.  The anti-rejection drugs puts her into a higher risk group for black mold and other things.
 
My nephew had had HIV for a long time now, and this would also put him into a higher risk group for black mold becoming "invasive."
 
A friend of mine when I lived in California had Lupus, and this probably would put her into that same higher risk group.
 
(Thinks on it, and adds "more bleach" to her shopping list, lol.)

I know all about mold and how costly it is to get rid of.  Here in the midwest when we were shopping to buy a home.  About the only thing that had to be disclosed was mold.  Yet, when you'd talk to a realtor they would never utter a word.  When you got to the house there would be a big sign saying "evidence of mold" 
Didn't quite understand why they were wasting our time and theirs.  Of course, I know some who would get rid of it...but for me..I just didn't want to add an additional 30 grand to the cost of the house.

Some varieties of molds are carcinogenic and some are capable of causing chronic fungal infections in the sinuses, lungs etc and can often be very difficult to treat.

Status: offline 		sub4, we are thinking that I never really beat it due to extreme exposure. It was in a nice new looking mattress I picked up. There were no other reasons for the black spots except mold.

My immune system used to be very good, but nobody's immune system can be ready for everything. Just because I am feeling a bit better now doesn't mean I won't relapse again. I want this to stop.

Evidence is now that I do go to work, get out and about, do some things, I seem to keep feeling better. If I lay in bed a long time, I seem to relapse. Thus the possibilty that I am reinfecting myself has been discussed. So far so good.

I have to persue this because it makes pretty good sense. If I sleep too much I seem to relapse, where do I sleep ? No matter what, something that came from my body could be in the mattress, if I never really beat it. Thinking in term of severity and duration of exposure, this whole theory falls into place. This is not even my theory, but just about everyone I know agrees, if they know me.

Back in the 1980s I had a bad flu, like for six weeks. I did not seek a doctor at all, though people threatened to drag me there. It was bad, and may have taken near a year to recover and I did, to the extent that I couldn't discern it from a 100% recovery.

Aug. fifth is the eye doc. Has nothing to do with this. I have never played this game before but I will not play those purported quick winners. Like going psycho or anything. I will never do that.

Maybe I should put it to a vote ?

from your OP:

My recovery started, which supports the black mold theory, but it has not been proven either way. 

I highlighted the important part. You really have no idea what is wrong with you and are grabbing onto this black mold theory. The fact that "everyone you know agrees with you" means little.

Did you ever have the house tested for mold ? Are there any signs of mold still in the house ?
Black Mold Toxicity is relatively rare and more common is an allergic reaction to molds, not a systemic one. The fact that the mattress was your Dad's and he slept in it routinely and did not have Black Mold Toxicity, kinda debunks the theory. Is it possible, sure it is. But it is very unlikely.

I encourage you to have a full work up with a MD. I don't think I am saying anything you haven't already thought, as you are a bright man, but your symptoms, particularly weight loss and protruding abdomen, are classic signs of Liver Disease and your abnormal liver function tests back this up, more than a " mold theory ".

I'm glad you are going to have your eyes taken care of, but take care of the rest of you too. By finding out what your overall health picture is, you can then make the best decision for you. If you chose to carry on and do nothing, that is your decision, if you chose a diet approach, again, that is your decision. But at least get an answer instead of playing craps in the dark.

Because there is good in most people, to one degree or another. You've shown it before, and now that you're in a rut, others are showing it to you.

Hang in there.

Status: offline 		Gawd I just looked at the spelling in my last post and am thinking "just shoot me".

But in a way it illustrats my eyesight problem. That was unproofed but I did see it and saw nothing wrong with it. True that I was called away and sent it prematurely, but the fact I can barely see well enough to partcipate here. If it gets wors I am going to have to turn my screen resolution down to 800.

Felt a bit shitty today falling up out of bed, but I seem to be falling together quite well now. And that goddam headboard fell on me AGAIN !, this time when I put it back it was on on the tackless and all I had to do was bump it. Yes we ripped out the carpet as well. Now the headboard of Damacles is standing on end. NOT where is can fall on me :-)

Yes, we even removed the carpet from my bedroom, and it was about time anyway. Giving it some thought I might just not replace it. I know some people who made good money cleaning houses for rich Jews (don't fucking start, they were Jews, so what). But the point is they would not have carpet. Maybe they're on to something here. They would have area rugs, quite large sometimes but to be cleaned they would be sent to this place called Arslanian Bros which has the facilities to actually wash a large rug. It never got nailed down in the house. When it came back clean it was clean through and through, not just on top.

So I've got this on my mind as well. Perhaps I wasn't vulnerable in the past, but I really was about as immortal as they come. Shot, kicked twenty feet in the air, worked out with a guy who now at fifty can still kick a half a dozen guy's asses at once. The car wrecks that would have hurt many very badly, going through windshields and such. Maybe that's what I meant by whiney hiney, I miss that. I don't like being vulnerable.

I might have to face the fact that I am not coming back 100%, but I also have to realize that some people have lived their entire lives that way. Thus I could be deemed whiney about it. See even if I am completely fixed in the body, it will take years of working out to regain anything like the level of strength that earned me the name Terminator. Story of that is available upon request.

But the fact is I was so cocky that I caused this situation. I've already talked to my bankruptcy lawet about this and he said that if I wanted to I could go to the ER and then it would be better to delay filing so that bill could be included. But how the hell can I walk into the ER and tell them this has been going on for over a year ?

I am a Man, and a realist. As such at this point I am telling myself what I have told others for a long time - YOU cause 90% of your own problems. Indeed I did.

As far as this thread I have to call it  day. There is so much coing through my mind. Doctors can give me answers and pills, but the cure is within me. I just can't afford to fuck around now like I used to :-(

Well, I did not know about the whole mold problem.  Could be the root of the issues I suppose.  Remember I've just taken what..a year and a half hiatus from this place.  Just got bored and tired of it.  Still am, but coming back in small spurts.

I got in there and the questions they asked were pretty much expected,l but they took blood. They also put me on saline because they deemed me to be dehydrated.

They gave me an EKG, twice. They say I have a prolonged QT. A quick trip to wiki tells me that it seems my brain is sending a longer signal to my heart to make it beat. At least that's the way I read it initially, I have to do a bit more research. Gleaning what I got right now, Q and T are different phases, and when it is prolonged that means something is wrong. What else I read is that the condition is hereditary, which could mean I have had it all my life.

I made then aware that I intend to be proactive in my care. I made it clear that I have abused my body for forty years and I simply do not expect perfect health, but what is going on now is something different. We talked about the mold. The doc says if it was indeed black mold there is nothing they can do but to treat it symptomatically.

After the EKG they did a series of chest Xrays, and later ordered a CAT scan, but of my head. They said (LOL) that there was no blood in there. I almost replied "Well that makes no sense because I don't have a hardon right now". But this is a serious matter and I decided to just keep that one to myself. What they meant is that there are no leaks, the blood is in the blood vessels where it belongs.

Buddy of mine says they don't always tell you everything and the prolonged QT might just have been an excuse to keep me because they want to gather more data. However they have some of my blood now, and I have an appointment tomorrow morning that I really do not want to miss.

So they gave me that piece of paper to sign that if I leave I might die and I signed it. With all the facts I think it was the right decision. I have learned a few things though. But in no way am I 100% up to speed on this. That might take a bit of time. However I do have more information to work with. Low on potassium eh ? OK, I have been trying to cut carbs for some time now, and alot of where of the potassium comes from is high in carbs. So I can adjust that easily. They must've gotten some results in in those hours I spent there, and that was why they wanted the second Xray and the CAT scan.

I need to get my mind of this for a time and regroup a bit, so I am off to rabblerouse for a short time and then to bed.

Be well.
