Mmmm...Bouillon Cubes

Discussion in 'Chatter' started by Onideus Mad Hatter, Nov 7, 2007.

  1. I love these little bastards. It's a great way to keep my blood
    pressure up when I'm doing a lot of intense moving around.

    Most fatties like yourself I'm sure have problems with high blood
    pressure, I however do not, Cuppycake. Last I went to the doc I was
    at 112/60. I routinely use salt or things with high salt content in
    order to raise my blood pressure. If I don't and I start becoming
    very active, my sweat tastes like plain water, I start feeling light
    headed and I experience the wondrous symptoms of orthostatic
    hypotension. At which point I need to do two things...drink a whole
    gawd damn shit load of water...and eat a bunch of really salty snacks.

    There's nothing medically wrong with me that accounts for my low blood
    pressure, so my doc thinks it's a combination of sweating a lot when
    I'm really active, coupled with the fact that I'm always extremely
    calm and controlled. Pretty much I have zero anxiety and stress in my
    life. Even if something really bad happens, I always remain very cool
    headed and I don't ever panic. What's really fun about it is that
    it's pretty much impossible for anyone to sneak up on me and try to
    scare me. Like there's this one guy at work who likes sneaking up
    behind people and yelling, "YOU'RE FIRED!" So the one time he did it
    to me I didn't react at all at first and then just suddenly turned
    around and screamed, "YOU'RE FIRED!" which of course scared the shit
    out of him cause he wasn't expecting a reaction like that.

    First a bit of humor...you called me cuppycake... ;o)

    Second...serious note...you do know as you get older that your body could
    change in the snap of your fingers and all of that salt could kill you?

    Mine runs about 118/60 to 128/75 with 20MG of metoprolol taken daily. I also
    used to eat anything I wanted because my blood pressure ran on the low side
    and one day that all changed. I actually used to get up in the morning and
    have to walk the floors of the hospital so they could get a blood pressure
    reading.
    Scared the bejeesus out of them. I asked if I was dead and they were not
    telling me.

    Enjoy the low blood pressure as long as you don't pass out from it.

    I am doing meditation therapy and relaxation tapes during the day.

    You know that you are an alright dude even when you are pretending to be
    evul?

    Possibly, I generally tend to expect the unexpected, which is why I
    check every month or so, I also check my blood sugar too and have a
    cholosterol test done every year. At some point here soon I'd also
    like to have a full body MRI done.

    Speaking of which, if I ever become increadibly wealthy the one thing
    I vow to do is to buy up a whole shit load of MRI machines and then
    setup a program where every United States citizen would be entitled to
    a full body MRI scan every six months...doing so I believe would
    practically eliminate cancer death (amongst a whole shit load of other
    things). The thing that's wrong with our health care system is that
    they wait until things are utterly hopeless before acting, which 10
    times out of 10 winds up costing them (or rather us, the tax payers)
    easily a 100 times as much money in the long run than if they had just
    dealt with the damn problem right from the start...and most often that
    involves making an accurate diagnosis and a full body MRI is our best
    medical tool for making that diagnosis.

    LOL, yeah I frequently have that problem. I always think it's funny
    when they try to take my pulse and I'm like, "Yeah, yer gonna need one
    of those lil finger monitors, trust me on this".

    I'll be happy just so long as I don't start losing my hair...although
    if I do I'm not gonna do that comb over bullshit, I'm just gonna shave
    it and go for the Bruce Willis look. I tend to take after my grandpa
    though and he had all his hair even in his 80s...I guess I'll know for
    sure in about 20 years, cause his hair turned completely white in his
    late 40s. The man never had any gray at all. I think I'm headed that
    way (as is my brother), because even now the both of us are are
    starting to get stark white hairs growin out (Josh even has a little
    patch of white hair, which is why we like to call him Mr. Fantastic).
    Ironically both of us think it would be very cool to have completely
    white hair by our late 40s.

    I think the trick is not taking me too seriously. I always tell
    people, "If *I* don't take myself seriously why are *YOU* taking me
    seriously?"

    There's a reason they wait until things are hopeless. More money.
    Sure, they might spend $100K here and there on some poor fool who's
    received a diagnosis and takes the steps to get better. But there's
    even *MORE* poor fools who never realize that they're sick and just up
    and die.

    You won't be making any friends in the health insurance business ...
    they're gambling that poor old Bob won't realize that he has a lethal
    heart condition until his wife's burying him after one too many chili
    dogs.

    Your blood pressure's that low?! You might want to be tested for
    Reynaud's syndrome. My wife has that and it's caused her immense
    trouble (diagnosed recently with PAD). The two aren't synomyous, but
    the conditions that cause one can cause the other, so to speak. And
    it's hereditary. My daughter has shown signs of having it as well.

    One quick way to see if you might have it (as the main symptom seems
    to be very low blood pressure) is to look at your fingernails - do
    they have slight to moderate ridges? If so, you should be checked.
    Even though you sound as though you're keeping tabs on your health,
    Reynaud's isn't something people, even doctors, think of (as from what
    I understand, it's not that common) often, much less check.

    LBP is, also from what I've been told (by my wife's doctor) is FAR
    more dangerous than HBP. As I said, my daughter has LBP as well (which
    became an issue when we discovered that she's having a baby this
    December), and growing up, she had episodes where she would pass out
    from standing up too long or taking too hot of showers or baths. Poor
    circulation is nothing to dismiss easily.

    Take it from an old fogie - you're young NOW (I'm assuming mid to late
    twenties at most?), but you won't always be. Take care of yourself now
    or someone else will taking care of you later.

    Now, does anyone want to hear about the dinosaur I had as a young
    boy? ;-) I figure, since I've already admitted that I'm an old fart, I
    might as well amuse you people further.

    Supposedly, the rule of thumb (otherwise known as an "old wives tale")
    is that you take after the gender opposite parent (who would have
    taken after her father - assuming you're talking about your maternal
    grandfather and not your paternal). My wife is slender, while I could
    stand to lose a few (ha) pounds. My son (16) takes after her, while my
    daughter (21) could, too, stand to lose a few pounds.

    That's why young men are told to look at their wife's father to see
    how she'll mature, and girls are told to look at their fellow's
    mother.

    even *MORE* poor fools who never realize that they're sick and just up

    My brother is a pharmacuetical (?) chemist (creates medicines) and he told
    us a long time ago that 1. everyone carries cancer cells of some form in
    their body, but it takes a certain trigger to make it raise it ugly head.
    and 2. they have created *cures* for certain cancers, but there is big
    business between the hospitals and drug companies so they shelve anything
    too good...sneaky little bastids...


    You won't be making any friends in the health insurance business ...
    they're gambling that poor old Bob won't realize that he has a lethal
    heart condition until his wife's burying him after one too many chili
    dogs.

    The MRI and the cat scan is what helped diagnose and let the doctors know
    that my cancer had not gone outside of my uterine walls.

    I have had two of them, four cat scans and numerous x-rays since the first
    of this year. I should be able to attract metals and glow in the dark. The
    MRI's were a wee bit intimidating as I do not like enclosed places.

    I have my ANA levels checked every six months, it's free so I do it,
    the doctor who pays for it I think is using the data in some kind of
    study or something, cause I signed this form thing that says he can
    use/publish any medical data on me. He does some other test too, most
    of which I can't remember off the top of my head.

    Apparently I have an interesting physiology though no doctor has been
    able to give any kind of coherent reason for it.

    Here's some older test that were done:

    http://www.backwater-productions.net/_images/_Scraps/Old_Medical_Tests_-_MAXI,_T7.png

    H and L Flags all over the place...pretty much always like that.
    That's the other weird thing, the test results often come out
    differently every time. Same with allergy test, one month I can be
    way allergic to grass...the next month not allergic to it at all.

    >One quick way to see if you might have it (as the main symptom seems

    Mmmm...not really...but then I always wear gloves at work. If I don't
    I find my cuticles tend to get cuts and dry out easily when I'm

    There's this one real short girl I know that I always call "Little

    They never work so good with me, they always wind up injecting me with

    them over.

    >A humanitarian at heart... ;o)


    Heh...not too much, I just like correcting deficiency. I'm of the
    opinion that if I had absolute power and control I could easily bring
    humanity into a Utopian age of bliss, contentment and incite a new
    Renaissance to boot...but then I often come across as an arrogant
    bastage, which generally makes people want to do the OPPOSITE of
    whatever I suggest, even if what I suggest is the very obvious right
    choice. Never underestimate the power of spite.

    I have reached a new point of not giving a shit though. Like when
    someone I know says something like they're thinking of buying a new
    computer I'm just like, "Okay...tell me how that works out for ya."

    Often times before I would suggest certain things and I guess I came
    across as being arrogant about it because then they're all, "Well what
    if I get a Mac instead." I've often found people will do outright
    stupid shit just to try and create melodrama...like I'm supposed to
    get all upset and in a huff cause some retard wants to go and buy a
    Mac instead of a PC. I usually try to ruin their fantasy though by
    scoffing at them and saying, "You're the one whose got to use it, get
    whatever you like."

    Quite a lot...and probably you don't get discounts for bulk orders

    I don't have a whole lot of chest hair but what I do have is in the
    shape of a bird with its wings spread out (looks kinda like a
    phoenix). I don't really much like chest hair though...or back
    hair...or belly hair...or ass hair...etc. Pretty much under the arms,
    on the arms, on the crotch, on the legs and on yer head is the only
    kind of hair I like on me. And with girls...man oh man nothing and I
