Diabetes really sucks!
I hate having to take two shots a day of insulin. Even though the person who trained me on what it means to be diabetic with regular insulin shots, herself, required five shots a day (when asked, she responded, "it is either that or die"). I blanched when she clarified that the needle does not go in at an angle, "Oh no! It has to go straight in all the way." Crap! My fear, or reluctance, of sticking needles into myself was one reason I had delayed in going beyond pills (although my doctor was pushing) for so long.
As it turns out, with a little experience and probing, you can actually find spots to insert the syringe without (sometimes) any pain. Other spots are not too bad. Unfortunately, sometimes it seems like it takes four or five tests to find the right spot.
Sure, sometimes I just say to heck with it and push the needle to completion, even though it hurts. What I do not do though is just randomly push it in somewhere. Because when it hurts, there are spots where it will hurt ALOT!
It is always a temptation to skip a shot, but this is a mistake as it does seem to build up in the system.
Of course, as it is type 2 diabetes, I always hold onto the hope that something will make it go away. I am trying to lose weight. Just hope it isn't like a dead pancreas syndrome or something.

Autistic Son Loses Some Weight
Yay! Our teenage son, who is severely autistic, weighed in 20 pounds less than before! We have been very concerned as his weigh continued to climb with no end in sight. It is very difficult to regiment and discipline someone with OCD (which is a typical ailment for Autistics). But, everyone involved in his daily care has been trying to get him to eat healthier foods (and less of it) combined with increased physical activity. It seems to be having a positive effect! Yay!

What Causes Cold sores?
What Causes Cold Sores
Cold sores are probably the result of a reactivation within the body from a virus. The herpes simplex virus strikes coming from the mouth area to silently survive (“remain latent”) inside the central nervous system. Around roughly one-third of us, the herpes virus may well “wake up” or possibly reactivate in order to cause disease. Whenever reactivation arises, the herpes virus extends down the nerves towards epidermis where by it may cause blisters (cold sores) throughout the lips, within the mouth or maybe, in about 10% of cases, on the nose, chin, or perhaps cheeks. But, what precisely brings about cold sores, you ask? Cold sore episodes might be influenced by diverse sources such as stress, menstruation, sunlight, too much sun, a fever, or maybe local skin trauma. Oral surgical procedures such as dental or neural surgery, lip tattooing, or even dermabrasion can also be typical triggers.
"Geez", you will declare, "What precisely IS this virus?". The technical name for these kind of cold sores (sometimes known as a fever blister) is Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 (HSV-1) or Herpes labialis (means lips, in no way female genitalia). Herpes labialis infection takes place when the hsv simplex virus makes get in touch with oral mucosal tissue or perhaps abraded skin of the mouth area. Infection by way of the type 1 strain of hsv simplex virus (HSV-1) is most frequent; nonetheless, conditions involving oral infection by the type 2 strain are actually growing.
Listen up, this can be serious! It is significant that you are conscientious to not ever transfer herpes to other people. The moment HSV-1 has moved into one's body, it never ever leaves. Herpes is undoubtedly carried by way of persons by means of spittle, oral contact, dead skin cells, eating utensils, etc.
HSV-1 will be able to on scarce circumstances end up being passed on to newborn babies through relations or possibly hospital staff who've cold sores; this will produce a extreme disease referred to as Neonatal herpes simplex. Individuals will pass the herpes virus from other cold sores along with other body parts, such as eye, skin, or maybe hands and fingers; this is called “autoinoculation." Eye infection, such as conjunctivitis or possibly keratitis, may occur if your eyes are rubbed just after touching the sore. Finger infection (herpetic whitlow) can occur when a child with fever blisters or even primary HSV-1 infection sucks his/her fingertips.

This virus is extremely infectious and appears to be a blister over the hypersensitive portions of human body. Type 1 virus comes about on the body parts above the hips and type 2 virus comes about on the human body parts below the hips. When a body's attacked with this cold sore virus then there is no long lasting cure available on the market.
I'm sorry, this is actually the reality: One can only make the virus inactive and hope for the best. A cold sore requires 9-12 days right before getting in the remission phase in which the virus turns into inactive. These kind of bruises could reoccur anytime before it might be dormant.
Blisters are acknowledged to occur on the face, nostrils, mouth, neck, ears, and so forth. This kind of noticeable incidence of blisters presents a difficult problem to numerous men and women. Now there are cures which can make the noticeable blisters inactive. If you are influenced straight away it is very important that you obtain medical health advice and get treatment for that cold sore.

Duck Force 9 still going strong!
Well, it looks like all nine of my egg laying ducks made it through the winter uneaten. I originally bought so many because February around here typically has hungry predators on the prowl. But, they seem to have made it okay. Although, we did tragically lose a loved house cat pet just a few days ago.
Anyhow, net result is that I am up to my eyeballs in duck eggs! Which is fine because the excess older than a week or so is converted into dog food and fed to our large dogs (A Great Pyrenees and a Newf Lab mix).
