What we hear may not be what was said

 Been thinking about how people can hear the words being said but interprets in their head something different to what was meant. I feel many people hear, interpret, perceive in their own way and then get it into their head that they are being lied to because what they have heard and understood isn't necessary what was meant.

I know with Tim we can tell him something about how we are feeling perhaps about something he has said or done but if asked to explain what he things we are trying to say he will come back with something very different. He will often come back that we are saying he is stupid or he is wrong, at times we may say that we do feel his understanding of a situation maybe wrong. Of course as I write this I cannot think on a damn example to give you which is annoying.

Sometimes I have said that just because something isn't how we want it to be doesn't make it wrong just different.

Waiting not doing

 Hello everyone who is choosing to read this new take on an old blog from now on this will be about whatever trivial random thoughts that pop into my head.

Like Sunday night I was thinking about how some people have to wait and wait and wait for others to do stuff for them this may not be how they would like it but it is how it has become.

I used to be able to just do stuff I wanted to do, like go to the shops either for stuff I needed or just to wonder around having a look at what there is. Then I lost my licence being declared by my doctor as being unfit to drive.

Now I have to wait for someone to either drive me to the shops or as they often prefer go shopping for me. No one wants to admit that they find it easier to just go and get what I need over taking me to the shops. This was made worse by Covid and even though life for most has returned to pre-covid normal I feel it hasn't for me.

Even at home there are things I need help with and I as for either Tim or Tasha to help me but it isn't uncommon for me to still be waiting an hour or more later.

Thankfully I am back to doing a lot of shit around the house myself but I am unable to drive myself to the shops. I am also thankfully for online shopping but it isn't the same.

Types of Dystonic Tremor

• Dystonic tremor appears in the same area of the body which is affected by dystonia. So, a person suffering from neck dystonia will have twisting of the head along with shaking movements of the head.

• Dystonic tremor can also appear in a different part of the body to the dystonia. If a person has neck dystonia he/she can have dystonic tremor in the hand.

• Dystonic tremor may not be present with other dystonic symptoms; however, if a person has a family history of dystonia, then it can be suspected that he/she may also have dystonia.

Differentiation between Dystonic Tremor & Essential Tremor

Essential tremor is the most common type of tremor3 and it is very important to differentiate it from dystonic tremor. Essential tremor commonly affects the hands, arms, or fingers. The primary differences between dystonic tremor and essential tremor are:

• The movement or tremor of dystonic tremor is often irregular; whereas, in essential tremor, patient has regular movements or oscillation of the affected part.

• Dystonic tremor appears with dystonia; whereas essential tremor does not appear in combination with dystonia.

• Sensory trick can temporarily relieve a dystonic tremor; whereas, essential tremor cannot be relieved with this.

• In majority of the patients with essential tremor, the arms, fingers or hands are affected symmetrically; whereas, other parts of the body, such as the head can be affected with dystonic tremor without the involvement of the arms or hands. However, in some cases, dystonic tremor can also affect the hands.

DYSTONIC TREMOR

 

What is a Dystonic Tremor?

Tremor is an uncontrollable/involuntary oscillation or shaking or rapid movement of a part of a person’s body. For example, if a person has head tremor, then there will be involuntary shaking movement of the head. Similarly, if a person has hand tremor, then there is uncontrollable shaking of the hands. Tremor can affect any part of the body including eyes, vocal cords, arms, face, trunk and legs.

Dystonic tremor is a type of tremor which the patient develops along with or in association with dystonia.Dystonia is a neurological disorder where there is transmission of incorrect messages from the brain to the body resulting in unwanted movement or over-active or abnormal postures. Patient experiences Dystonic Tremor commonly in young adulthood or mid-life.

SHINGLES

 

As some of you will know on the 27 July I was diagnosed with shingles on my scalp and in my left eye. So I am doing a post about shingles. I am improving but still have a lot of bloody pain

and find my eye waters like a dripping tap when trying to watch TV or use the computer. So I am doing things for a short period of time giving my eye a break. I have to see my optometrist asap to check the eye according to my GP.

Most cases of shingles last three to five weeks. The first sign is often burning or tingling pain; sometimes it includes numbness or itching on one side of the body. Somewhere between one and five days after the tingling or burning feeling on the skin, a red rash will appear.

A reactivation of the chickenpox virus in the body, causing a painful rash.

Anyone who's had chickenpox may develop shingles. It isn't known what reactivates the virus.

Shingles causes a painful rash that may appear as a stripe of blisters on the torso. Pain can persist even after the rash is gone (this is called post-herpetic neuralgia).

Treatments include pain relief and antiviral medication such as aciclovir or valaciclovir. A chickenpox vaccine in childhood or a shingles vaccine as an adult can minimise the risk of developing shingles.

Generally shingles is not contagious, but a person with active shingles can spread the virus when the rash is in the blister phase. It's important to keep the rash covered. Most cases of shingles last 3-5 weeks. Most people get shingles only one time, but, it is possible to have it more than once.
