Some people have genes that make them naturally stronger, according to a largest-of-its-kind study of more than 340,000 people in Finland. In addition to having a solid foundation for building brawn, individuals with the highest predisposition to hand grip strength were found to have up to 23 percent lower risk of common diseases, and a longer life expectancy. The study's findings suggest that personalised genetic details on muscle strength and weakness can help doctors identify who is at risk of certain health conditions.

JOURNAL ENTRY — I'm of the idea that I'm forgetful. Terribly forgetful.

MAY 23, 2024

I've been contemplating a bit. Less of a contemplation and more of a realisation or a mix I cannot say and yet my memory is so short that I can't remember what I've even realised to begin with. I will eventually forget it all.

I wrote a lot in my journal. I wrote a lot here as well. So many contradictory things. Yet, it's as real as the sun and the rain.

So maybe I should summarise it for the sake of my brain to remember :

1) regret is way worse than the effort it takes to get something done.

2) stop looking at others, it gets you nowhere. The only thing is does it aggravate your insecurities and brings out the worst in you.

3) fight. Don't look at the war. Fight the small battles. It's the seconds that will make a difference.

4) do it alone. The worst thing you can do to yourself is wait for someone to come and save you. Wait to do it together with someone. Don't wait.

5) choose yourself before anyone else. If you don't know what you want— what others want will become your priority.

6) the future is not set in stone— which is both the best thing that can happen to you but can also be the worst thing that can happen to you.

7) what is bound to happen will happen. It will. So don't let things you can't control break you down. If you can't control it— ignore it. Focus on the love right under your nose.

8) it's okay if you fail. It's okay. Even after trying hard. Trying your best. Whatever your best is. It's okay if you fail. I'll be right here and so will you.

9) you can always start all over again. Your failure if it happens, if it does happen— it's not a finality. It's not the end. It's nothing.

10) hold on. you will be fine. You are a survivor. You've always found a way out and You've always survived. You will get through this too. If anyone can do it, it's going to be you to beat the odds. So figure it out— because you can. You can handle this.

11) if you can be only one thing to your own self— be kind. Forgive yourself.

So ask yourself these three questions—

1) what do you want?

2) what are you going to do now with this moment? What difference are you going to make?

3) are your fears greater than your strength?

I'm scared.

Going to keep an eye on things while on a newly prescribed medicine for my heart, but occasionally I've been feeling like crying from joy/relief. I didn't know it was possible to live with little to zero chest pain and other issues on a daily basis.

I started feeling its improvements on day 2, and then all day yesterday has been like a literal weight off my chest. Slept a bit for the night, woke up around 4am and I'm just... Breathing so comfortably. I feel relaxed. That feeling of pressure in my chest is hardly there anymore.

This cardiologist said I'd notice changes after just a day or two if it helps. And it's happening!!

Guess it's very much confirming I've had pericarditis for who-knows-how-long. Could've been overlooked since having my cardiac ablation in 2019. Been so freaking rough living with this stuff. All my symptoms were assumed to be part of my WPW Syndrome ('cause the ablation didn't get all of the accessory pathways.) This sort of inflammation can be caused by heart procedures though. -sigh- Why didn't anyone watch out for that or suspect it earlier?

I'll be having a new echo done in a month or two (forgot which appointment date it is among other tests coming up). Crossing my fingers I don't have the pericardia effusion there anymore too if the pericarditis is getting tackled by this new med! 🤞

TIME SENSITIVE POST $60 NEEDED FOR MEDS

Hi I literally just got out of the hospital and back home from trying to pick up my meds wit my new insurance, and surprise! the insurance I'm on doesn't cover one of my vital medications...seeing as its the weekend, therefore my case worker and basically everyone else isn't at work rn, I'm electing to use a coupon for this pickup only. >_> goodrx coupon for luvox puts it at $22.68, other meds im gonna guess will cost $4 each..lmk if u can find a cheaper coupon for walmart pharmacy I would rly appreciate it.

TLDR due to the mistakes of the US medical system, I am asking for help from strangers on the internet for $60 to cover the cost of my meds for this month + the overdraft fee on grim's acct.

paypal.me/furbyfridays <- pay grim

https://venmo.com/u/retrovirus666 <- pay me

i cannot handle any more workload, So I cannot offer commissions at this time. Anything you can spare $1 $2 $3 I Promise I will Be Equally Grateful. The pharmacy closes in 5 hrs.

After nearly 6 weeks of struggling with my ribs, the pain had suddenly nearly gone! Still have to take it easy because I feel a gentle twinge now and again, but it's a far cry from before.

Alas! I am in a phase of life where I must be resilient to all the strange perceptions and opinions about my life I will be subjected to. I chose the road not taken, and must deal with the consequences, for I definitely did reap the benefits too. Thank you, universe , for always keeping me blessed and for always working in my favour. Today I wish that I and anyone else who needs it gathers the strength the pass through these storms. 🌊 ⛅️ ☀️ 🌺

Why is it called a "common cold" when this is the worst hell I've experienced in my life. My nose and throat are burning like I snorted chili powder and gargled wasabi. My head feels like someone is inflating it with a tire pump and it's pushing all my brains out through my nose. This is worse than when I've had COVID, strep, flu, or pneumonia. What kind of hell are they putting in colds these days
