hello to everyone! (but especially to EyeoftheWild, suzi q, mork, christina, trijeff, etc you know who you are.)
how are you all? ver well and thinking positively i hope? i've not been on the boards for a good few months now, i decided i needed to take time out and only come back again if i really, <b>really</b> had to. turns out that, so far, i haven't, so i'm really just popping in to let you know how i'm doing and find out how you all are.
generally speaking, i'm doing pretty fine and dandy at the moment. had a nice, relaxing summer, quit my job, got a new one, made the most of not having to study. as for my health, well the twitching has calmed down a lot. it now makes very infrequent appearances, and when it does appear it's so low key that i don't even really notice it, or if i do, i just dismiss it. i think the longer it goes on the easier it is to accept that it just happens for the sake of happening and that's that. i was also further reassured when a spontaneous discussion arose among my friends concerning twitching, which featured such phrases as "oh, i'm getting that 'muscle pulsating' thing again", and "oh yeh, i get that quite a lot too" spoken in completely passive tones. so it just goes to show - twitching probably happens to anyone and everyone of us - it's just that some of us are natural born worriers who can take it too far *raises hand*.
as for the rest of my health, i am generally fine, certainly outwardly, but i'm still getting quite a bit of jip from my sinuses and ears (where i initialy had a virus), and this is usually accompanied by pressure headaches and tiredness/energylessness almost every day. i have been told to take a multivitamin every day and so far they're not really making much difference in my opinion, so i am making an appointment with my doctor before i start back at uni, to see what can be done. i know - i have accepted - that i will most likely be completely "well", but i definitely do seem to fatigue so often and so much easier these days that i really want to get to the bottom of it and sort it out.
anyway, that's my spiel over. please regail me with similarly upbeat and positive replies!
