MemberAnd these are only a couple of the challenging health issues I have. Two prostate procedures for enlargement never quite got it right: TUNA and TUIP. I should have had the TURP procedure instead; but then, I would get off only inside of me, if I did get up. It's what my brother had done and now he can take any amount of decongestants/antihistamines he needs. With me, my prostate still enlarges when I take cold medicines, frustrating the entire urinary process, with a few promised drips most days.
But getting back to fibro, my entire body hurts every day, from my head down to my toes, and for that I've been given lyrica, hydrocodone and xanax. Actually, the xanax also aids in controlling the anxiety of having to carry this body around with me everyday. And yet, I continue to maintain a full time job from which I can, if I choose to, retire in three months, which I doubt I will since I don't want to hang around the house alone or attempt to look for something to do.
The local Cultural Center asked me to teach a literature class after they discovered my educational background, but after spending weeks trying to decide what period or genre I'd like to teach, I couldn't make up my mind. I'm very much into movements, such as the Beat Generation, the Lost Generation, and particular characteristics of period writing, such as Victorian England's determinism and Nietzsche's "God is dead" theme. His role in persuading the German state to adopt his view turned that country into a killing machine. Social Darwinism is what they put in action, the survival of the fittest through racism and the slow, but eventual, mass slaughter of the Jewish race.
Kids, however, would probably not like any of those topics, as the center's intent is to draw teenagers. For them, it would have to be vampire and dystopian themes, and I wasn't in the mood to research topics in which I have very little interest, although those genres have created abiding fads of their own. Teens and twenties groups dress up in their vampire attire and meet in the tourist section of Tampa, YBor City, on weekend nights arrayed in their dark costumes with molded, easily fitting fangs that some dentists are willing to create, as long as the money is there.
Getting back to the fibro, I have those occasional bad days where no med I take wants to relieve me of the pain and misery. The neuropathy, also, tends to have a mind of its own, stinging and burning down my legs and/or arms. Lyrica can go both ways, either provide relief or increase the strength of the stinging.
I'd say, if I have 20 more years to live, I hope things don't get progressively worse. May God have mercy on us all.
