    About Me

    I am hard of hearing. I have been completely deaf in my left ear since childhood. In 2003 I started losing hearing in my right ear. I now have 20% hearing in that ear.

      From Ali5tair May 13

      I kept an Excel spreadsheet pain journal. That way could matrix activity, food intake, hydration, vitamin suplimentation and medication(includingpain relief) with pain level all over time. Time on the Y axis across the bottom. Pain level like a running total could be expressed easily. At a glance, I used 1 to 100 pain scale with verbal amplification of where. I also used colour to instantly indicate high pain periods. Red high pain, green no pain yellow,orange getting worse etc. It was a very quick and graphical way I could get the message across in a Dr's appointment. Dr's and Psychiatrists however thaught they knew better and said things like "its because you are focusing on it that you feel in so much pain. They said things like its all in the head. Or its depression. My advice is never acnowlege depression to them, its an easy out for them. Anti depressants dont address the toxic mycroplasma loads that have taken up residance inout blood / spinal fluid and interfeer with our Immune and Nervous systems. Cheers Ali5tair
