name the symptoms you have been having

on brain fog as symptomatic of something deleterious on a grander scale

having a thought wriggle away, and attempting to snag it immediately back
(the brain doing a routine thing, a little movement to snatch at the thought, like it has during incalculable distracted moments in the past)
coming up with nil, the mind starting to reach further and more desperately for the thought
mounting conscious obsessive terror about the loss of the thought and the circumstances that lead/are leading to its loss, including this right now
the thought slipping further and further behind an ever-increasing mass of suffocating clouds
repeat more often every day

varicose vein in my right leg at 34. It hurts like fuck and it feels like my leg/foot is going to explode. then it stops for a few weeks but comes back after a while. why? will i die?

Varicose veins aren't usually painful. Is the vein varicose even when it's not painful?

Might be phlebitis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phlebitis

for the last 2-3 weeks: waking up early every morning in urgent need of a piss, sometimes in the middle of the night too.

gonna have to go to the doctor's next week i guess. sigh.

my tonsils have been up for a few weeks now, like I'm permanently on the verge of flu. think it's because I've been drinking too much, exercising too little and sleeping in rooms with aircon but it can go away now I'm home thanks.

aside from the concern around the consistent need to do so, periods of early morning/nighttime pissing are so f'ing tiresome.

decent Horizon ep the other night suggested that the effects of steady booze consumption may be akin to low level perma-flu

yeah, I'm reaching an age now where i really notice the beneficial effects of staying off booze more days of the week than not. productivity, clarity of thought, springiness of step, sleep, whatever - it all seems to add up.

so want a cure for this semi-perm hay fever bouts I have been having for the last 3-4 years. Maybe I should drink more idk..

Ha, I went to doctor with lingering coldy symptoms recently and he strongly emphasised drinking less.

But doctors pretty much always emphasise that.

there are no diabetes threads it seems so can anyone calm me down about my big numb toe. i can still move it for the most part, i don't notice it most of the time but it's been like this for a couple months. there just isn't much feeling in the middle of it. there's no tingling.

i have nerve-y problems (disc is out of place i think?) that i just started getting PT for but that's all in my neck/upper back. i took a blood test 6-8 mos ago and i was below prediabetes levels so i haven't been too worried, but i eat a lot of starches and plain old sugar tbh so i'm always a little worried, and now i'm a lot worried.

Diabetic neuropathy won't usually affect one toe in isolation, or cause significant loss of sensation without pain or tingling/burning. It can precede the diagnosis of diabetes but that's not typical.

One numb big toe makes me think sciatica (S1 radiculopathy) but that's usually accompanied by the classic pattern of pain shooting down the back of the thigh. Another option would be neuropathy of the digital nerve to that toe, most likely compressive from tight footwear. In the latter case, if you can figure out what caused it and avoid further compression, it should recover within a couple of months.

Spent much of last weekend pissing out of my arse.
