Infernus is all of these and so much more. Once we, the publisher, read this tour through a hell like no one has ever experienced, we became part of it, and there is no escape. It is doubtful that you will receive anything less merciful, so consider yourself warned. Purchase of this may cost your soul and sanity, but who knows? You may be a part of Infernus, already.
I had to share this video by LindainLasVegas over on Youtube. To all my loved ones and everyone else fighting the fight, may you have all the spunk and courage that this awesome woman has carried with her:
Of course, there are many more people dealing with what I have, but on really painful nights, it doesn’t make a person feel any less alone. So I started looking around a bit and came across this person who has a great blog raising awareness called JUST ME. She also has a Facebook page to ‘like’ and Twitter, too.
She has some videos of her seizures that illustrate what I deal with each day, so I thought I’d share, not to rub anything in but for better understanding. You can also see how when it first hit really hard about a year ago, that original 4-hour seizure broke my recliner. Thankfully, the meds at least keep them down to a few minutes, generally. Half hour to forty-five minutes tops.
Anyway, here are her videos, also found on her YouTube page:
*Note: This woman is going through a lot of pain and suffering. Be warned.
There are still a lot of doctors out there who don’t understand this condition, and they think that doping the patients up with anti-psychotics will take care of it all, like one doctor first tried to give me Depakote and dump me off onto a psychologist (thankfully, the second neurologist I went to specializes in Conversion Disorder). Well, this is a mental condition, but it’s not a mental condition, as in, we’re not crazy so the illness does not get treated as such. Be sure to read her blog and help raise awareness.
Sure, there are downsides to everything, but if you’re observant enough, or patient enough, you’ll find there are upsides.
Last night, for instance, I was struck with a seizure that planted muscle spasms all across my face. It was like Andre the Giant had his hand there and was squeezing with all his might, and there wasn’t a damn thing I could do about it but cry. The stress of it caused me to be paralyzed, so I couldn’t take any pills to relieve the pain for about an hour. When I finally did, I went on to bed and crashed.
This morning…
I had the equivalent of a brief acid trip in the bathroom. The designs in the wood grain leaped out and began dancing around. The piping on the water heater whipped about all happy-like, and the stickers on its tank zoomed in and out in what I can only describe as, well, psychedelic.
It was the best time I’ve ever had while taking a shit.
And upsides like that help me get through the downsides. I’m sure you have some, as well.
If I don’t go right to bed after taking my night-time pills, I tend to get pretty goofy and there’s no telling what I’ll do or say. I try to stay off of the Internet to avoid making strange blog posts like this one. Last night, I remember doing something funny, though, so I thought I’d type it up real quick.
At around midnight, I talked to a friend on Skype for a bit, making very little sense I’m sure, and then I decided to make Robin some s’mores. She was sleeping, of course, so imagine me stumbling around with a sticky mess on a plate, and slurring to groggy Robin, “Wobin, I haf smurrs. Eet th’ smurrs!”
She got up and enjoyed the unexpected treat, then helped me to bed before I fell down in the kitchen.
Okay, so I missed last week. I was sick. So this week I’ll toss out a pic with a video. The pic is something dear to me because it was made by a friend of mine shortly before he passed away a few years ago. Miss you, Boo!
And here is the scene in Pulp Fiction where it came from:
I know I’m way behind on Resident Evil because while I’ve seen the movies, I haven’t played the games. I do, however, finally have all but part 5 currently on the PS3 (thank you Playstation Plus!) so I intend to get with the times, eventually.
This trailer for part 6 looks wicked! Check it out:
