Starry, Starry Night

Starry, Starry Night 

AN: First of all, I re-watched Daddy’s Boy. House clearly hated his father, It was clear in his eyes. I didn’t think John was a sadistic bastard every fanfiction writer portrays him to be. He was a military father, who came from a military family, who clearly didn’t know how to be a father to a kid like his son, a sensitive, bright child.

In this story, John was a strict disciplinarian father, who wants the best for his only son, (House was John’s biologically). House was the cleverly bright kid. House was gay, that was when the disagreement came from. When John found out, he brought his son to a conversion camp.

All I want to say is the road to hell is paved with good intentions. No more rambling, let's get on with the story.

Chapter 1

GH/JW

It was the middle of the evening, the piano was playing the beautiful, artistic piece of the Prelude to Bach’s Cello Suites in G Major. The music was whole despite missing a second hand. This was why the musician chose the piece.

House sat in the piano looking contented. He hadn’t played since Wilson’s prank, a prank which he had forgiven his best friend for. In all honesty, he was in love with Wilson, he knew now that James was truly in love with him.

A person clearing was throat alerted him, it was his boss and hag, Lisa Cuddy. “House, I brought Pizza, Wilson is still at the hospital.”

“Thanks, Cuddy.” He said. “Come sit on the couch.” He extricated himself, from the piano bench with a thicker cane, he used just after the infarction. He sat on his couch.

Cuddy followed him to the couch. they selected a movie., they settled on a coming of age film, Dead Poet Society. A film was in the main character who killed himself because he wanted to be an actor, not a doctor.

After the film ended, they were both silents.

They both came from families like Neil’s. Cuddy’s father was a doctor himself, who wanted one of her daughters to be a doctor too. They both had to deal with parental pressures. So when she asked him, “Did you ever try killing yourself?” He wasn’t surprised.

House looked at her, appraising her motivations. When he noted no pity or mockery on her face, he answered with a nod. I was seventeen years old, After camp, I was in this slump emotionally, like most kids did, when they came from that sort of scenario.” He gave a sad little laugh. “Took my father’s gun in the backyard…. Then I thought it was stupid, and stop at the last moment.” He was silent, watching the blue television screen.

Cuddy was looking at him, studying him. House looked good, not counting the casted right arm, he looked great. The field out a bit with Wilson’s cooking. At work, he was still House, but he was less annoying. She just hoped that Wilson won't cheat on him.

Cuddy wanted to speak to John and Blythe, but it wasn’t her place. She vowed to protect House from his parents instead.

“House, can I asked a question?” She asked House nodded. “I want to know about what your mother knows, about what your father did?”

“Uhh... I don’t… think. No. He didn’t tell her about sending me to conversion therapy.” He said, looking straight ahead. Then his phone rang, it was his office, “Chase… the patient is having trouble breathing, Okay, I’ll be there in 10.” He looked at his friend and sighed.

“I’ll drive you to the hospital,” Cuddy said. House was getting his coat from the coat rack. Cuddy got her key, they got out outside to her SUV. She started her car and left.

“Cuddy, tomorrow is my day off….” House’s voice trailed off. Cuddy smiled, she knew about his date with a certain oncologist.

They entered the hospital entrance. Cuddy was matching his fast limp to the lobby, where he went straight to his office, and she to hers to work on paperwork.

GH/JW

Wilson was working late tonight, there was the department head meeting that got out late. Plus a ton of paperwork that he needed to conquer before he took a long weekend off.

The door opened and he saw House enter. “House, I thought you went home already.”

House looked at him, “My patient is getting worse, come with me, I might need an oncologist.” Wilson knew that this was an excuse to be with him. He knew that cancer had been ruled out hours ago.

Wilson got up, headed outside to House’s office. “Okay, Minions,” Said House, as Wilson was sitting down. “Differential Diagnosis, for difficult breathing and, kidney problems, in an otherwise healthy fifteen-year-old?”

“Well, he wasn’t healthy, to begin with,” Foreman said from the coffee machine.

“That’s my point, Foreman,” House said and rolled his eyes.

“Lupus affects the lungs,” Cameron said.

“You’re an idiot, Cameron, It’s not lupus. The timeline is off.” House said scratching his brow. “Or Cameron is right, and we missed something.” Cameron looked at him. “I’ll talk to the kid.” House got up with Wilson on his heels following out into the kid's room.

“What is wrong with Jack?” Wilson asked, he knew the family, he treated the brother for Cancer, 12-year-old, Leukemia, six months ago. The brother went into remission.

“If I’m right, then Cameron may be on to something,” House said, while they walked to the kid’s room.

The mother and father were with the teenager holding his hand. Wilson walked toward them. “Missis Henderson?” Wilson said, placing his hand on the woman’s shoulder.

The woman answered. “Doctor Wilson?”

House who inpatient with Wilson’s gentleness, took over. “I need to talk to him, I need to do my job.” He said with irritation directed at his partner.

“House, Don’t scare the kid,” Wilson said leaving the room.

House looked at him. “Okay, okay, now get out, Get them out of here!” He hissed to Wilson sotto voce.

Wilson ushered the parents outside their son’s hospital room. “So how long have you been having trouble breathing?” House asked, sitting down.

The Child, Jack was tall, dark hair and hazel brown eyes. The boy looked at House. “Since Andrew was sick.”

“So maybe six months ago…” The kid nodded. This frustrated the hell out of House. He hated people who didn’t tell the doctors that they have an ailment until they have a serious symptom. He needed to say something though. “You’re an idiot, kid.” The child looked at him clearly hurt, and House back off. “You were protecting your family.”

House sat as the kid list his symptoms and when it occurred. and said. “Jack, you have, Good-pasture Syndrome.”

“Am I going to be alright?”

“Uh… Good pasture syndrome can not be cured, but it can be managed.” House said and stand up.

“Wait, Dr. House? Can you get my parents….” Jack said when House was opening the door.

“Dr. House? What’s wrong with Jack?” The parents said in unison.

Wilson looked at House willing him to be polite with the parents. “He has good-pastures syndrome,” House said without preamble.

“What is good pasture syndrome?”

“It is an autoimmune disease, which attacks the patient kidney and lung. In Jack's case, he would probably survive.” House said, looking uncomfortable. “With medications, this disease is manageable.”

“It can be cured?”

“Nope,” House said, he added. “Autoimmune disease isn’t curable, but it’s manageable, Sorry.” The last word was spoken with a bit of sarcasm.

The parents getting the hint that they were being dismissed, went to their son’s hospital room. “House?” Said Wilson, looking at him.

“Yes, dearest?” House said and Wilson rolled his eyes.

“You can’t be nice?” Those parents are through going to a hard time.“

House looked at Wilson, looking bewildered and a little hurt. “House?” He didn’t reply. Wilson remembered the past week and a half. “Sorry, I am out of line, I know that you’re just doing your job.” Wilson noticed too late that he had set off a flashback. He dragged House to a supply closet. “House?” No reply. “God, House… I am sorry.” House came out of his flashback moments later. “You with me, buddy?” House nodded.

“Let’s go home.” Wilson nodded. They went upstairs, House limped close to Wilson, not touching but close. As soon as they were inside the elevator. “I played nice,” House said in a small voice.

Wilson didn’t know what was going on with his best friend. “House, Sorry, okay.”

“I am not nice, but I’m trying.”

“Yes, You are, I’m just saying you should be more tactful.” The door opened, and they went to their respected office.

Wilson guiltily entered his office. Tomorrow was their date, he smiled at that thought. Deciding to close-shopped until the next week, he went to House’s office.

House was ordering his team to check on Jack. When he entered the glass door. “I am going home.” He told them while moving past Wilson with a glare. “My ride is here. He shouted to his stuff. While they were at the elevator, he said. “I am still pissed at you.” He said to Wilson point-blank.

Wilson was surprised to hear that words come off House’s mouth. “I am sorry.” He said and kissed him on the lips. “Can I asked you a question?” Wilson asked. House nodded. “Does your dad says that all the time, that you should play nice?” House nodded again.

The Multiple Sclerosis Risk Factors

The Multiple Sclerosis Risk Factors. Women who harbor the spare tyre bacteria Helicobacter pylori (or H pylori) may be less liable to develop multiple sclerosis (MS), a brand-new study suggests. In the study, researchers found that among women with MS - an often disabling contagion of the central nervous system - 14 percent had evidence of old times infection with H pylori. But 22 percent of healthy women in the study had witness of a previous H pylori infection. H pylori bacteria settle in the gut, and while the fanatic usually causes no problems, it can eventually lead to ulcers or even stomach cancer proextenderworld.com. It's estimated that half of the world's denizens carries H pylori, but the prevalence is much lower in wealthier countries than developing ones, according to qualifications information in the study. And "Helicobacter is typically acquired in childhood and correlates right away with hygiene," explained Dr Allan Kermode, the senior researcher on the new ruminate on and a professor of neurology at the University of Western Australia in Perth. The reason for the connection between H pylori and MS isn't clear, and researchers only found an association, not a cause-and-effect link treatment. But Kermode said his mug up supports the theory that dependable infections early in life might curb the danger of MS later on - which means the increasingly hygienic surroundings in developed countries could have a downside. So "It's plausible," agreed Bruce Bebo, regulatory vice-president of research for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society in New York City. "The theory is, our today's immune scheme may be more susceptible to developing autoimmune disease" neosizexlusa.shop. Multiple sclerosis is thought to arise when the immune modus operandi mistakenly attacks the protective sheath around nerve fibers in the brain and spine, according to an editorial published with the about on Jan 19, 2015 in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. No one knows what triggers that unnatural immune response. But according to the "hygiene hypothesis," Bebo explained, early living encounters with bacteria and other bugs may help steer the immune system into disease-fighting mode - and away from attacks on the body's shape tissue. So, people who have not been exposed to common pathogens, have a fondness H pylori, might be at increased risk of autoimmune diseases like MS. That's the theory, anyway. "These findings suggest H pylori might furnish some protection. But more studies are required before we can flinch to that conclusion". The findings are based on blood samples from 550 people with MS and 299 fit individuals of the same age. All were white and lived in Western Australia. Kermode's side found that women with MS were less likely to have immune system antibodies against H pylori - which is sign of a past infection - than women without MS. What's more, among the women with multiple sclerosis, those with a quondam H pylori infection tended to have less-severe MS symptoms. There were no such patterns middle men, though. According to Kermode, that difference between women and men is "arguably one of the most fascinating observations of our study. In the at 100 years, the prevalence of MS has increased markedly, and the lion's share of this increase has occurred in women. The fact that over the same period, prevalence of helicobacter in western countries has declined markedly is a tantalizing observation". Much more examine is needed to understand its importance. Bebo also urged caution. For one there were comparatively few men in this study, which could skew the results. In the bigger represent this study is one more step toward weeding out the environmental factors that affect MS risk. Researchers are looking at a collection of possibilities. As an example, Bebo pointed to vitamin D, which is important in unsusceptible system function. A number of studies have tied higher vitamin D levels in the blood to a earlier risk of developing MS, as well as a slower progression of the disease. So "Understanding the fit picture of environmental influences is vital". And what if H pylori is confirmed to affect MS risk, or its severity? According to Kermode, it's conceivable that the bacteria could somehow be used to remedy treat the disease "You can envision this leading to strategies based on the bacteria, or components of the bacteria, for treating MS" discount. But any such treatment would be a long way off.

Dear Ellen,

I hope all is well with you!

I know you are busy but I wanted to take a moment to try and share my story with you - as I have said before on this blog, I know there are causes more worthy than mine but I think my story is important nonetheless because I’m sure there are many women other who have a similar story.  So here I go...just to give you a quick idea of who I am, my name is Pia and I am a 28 year old German / American citizen who lives in a tiny German village on my own (well not completely, I do have a 10 year old rescue pug named Benny & a 19 year old rescue persian named Emerald Anastasia von Cuddlesworth - aka Aunna or Aunna Banana). I grew up a military brat and don’t really have a home town, I was born in Lebanon, TN but didn’t stay there long -- in fact, I’ve never lived anywhere longer than four years so I don’t really have a ‘home town’. My family and friends are spread out around the world, with my closest relatives being an hour and a half away and my parents being at least two flights away in Gallup, NM.  I originally started this blog only as a fundraiser for a service dog to help me with my newly diagnosed auto immune disorder but as time has gone on I hope to have it serve a higher purpose as well; I want to raise awareness for a couple of things...

1. I want to help spread the word about the rare auto immune disorder that I was diagnosed with (more on that below) so that others who might be suffering with this disorder can get answers too. I also want to talk about life with an invisible disability / chronic pain or chronic illness. So many people suffer silently or face back lash when dealing with something that others can’t see. It’s time to end the stigma against invisible chronic illness / chronic pain. Just because you cannot see it doesn’t mean it isn’t there - we must all remember to be kind for “everyone we meet is fighting a hard battle”.  2. I am also a domestic abuse survivor and I want to let anyone else who is stuck in an abusive relationship (whether it is verbal abuse and manipulation, physical abuse, or both) know that no matter what life throws at you - you deserve to love yourself, to protect yourself and to fight for yourself... 3. I want to talk about Gender (and other) Bias in medicine because it is a VERY real issue that needs to be addressed! So here is a little more of my story... On June 5th 2020, after 2+ years of searching for an answer as to why I was sick and in pain all the time, I was finally diagnosed with a rare auto immune disorder called ANCA Vasculitis, or antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis. ANCA Vasculitis is the name of a group of autoimmune conditions characterized by the inflammation of the blood vessels caused by the immune system mistakenly attacking them. There are several types of ANCA vasculitis and the exact cause (genetic / environmental / etc) is unknown, so patients diagnosed with ANCA vasculitis may display varied symptoms. The disease affects about 1 in 50,000 people. Due to the generic symptoms many of us have (chronic pain, sore throat, cough, cold and flu like symptoms, headaches, etc.) this disorder is often over looked. Many people don’t receive a diagnosis until something major has happened (organ failure for example). This disorder can be deadly if left untreated and too many women (and men) have symptoms like the above brushed off...especially if they have a history of mental illness or are dealing with a lot of stress as I was; 

I first started searching for answers to my growing health concerns in 2018. I had just moved from Germany to Scotland to start my life over - I was finally leaving my abusive spouse with the help of my amazing parents - I had my first “grown up” job with Hilton Corporate and was going to work and get my Masters Degree (I have a BA in Anthropology and was hoping to get my MSc in Animal Welfare Science, Ethics & Law at the University of Glasgow or at the University of Edinburgh). I was so excited to start over! So excited that I may have pushed the trauma and emotional scarring of my abusive marriage down for the first few months I was there and everything was peachy. Of course, those moments of bliss could not last forever. Still, I was settled in a new country (which BTW I had never even been to Glasgow prior to moving there) and I felt relatively safe for the first time in over a year - here my spouse could not find me or hurt me. I began seeing a therapist to help me unpack the trauma of my past. Of course, I was worried what people would think - as I’m sure you can imagine my spouse’s version of why we were getting a divorce was very different from mine so I tried to keep everything as quiet as possible. I didn’t want to deal with any backlash because, in his eyes, as always, everything was my fault. It wasn’t the fact that he had wanted to kill me at one point - nooo that certainly wasn’t why I was leaving (sarcasm) - In his eyes it was because I wanted an older man or because I just wasn’t willing to try to fix things...(even though I was the one who had suggested marriage counseling in the first place). It wasn’t the fact that he’d isolated me or cut me off from our finances. No, nothing was ever his fault... Even now, when I no longer have contact with him or his family I am afraid... This is the first time I have openly spoken about our marriage and divorce and as I have begun to tell my story I’m terrified that he’ll try to contact me or that I will receive backlash from him or his family (I am sure many of them would take his side and call me a liar...). I am speaking out now for two reasons - the first was because I only think it is fair and right to be completely honest about who I am and how I ended up where I am now if I’m going to be asking  my family and friends for financial assistance and two because I want to help others who are or were victims of abuse. When I finally came out with my story a friend contacted me and told me she had been through the same type of situation with her spouse and it was a really lovely moment - we’d both been suffering in silence for fear of back lash but had now found each other.  Anyway, back to the matter at hand... The first symptom I had was pain, chronic pain all over my body. My back, legs, arms, knees, ankles, feet, wrists, you name it - it hurt - and it kept getting worse and worse. I was having to take pain killers every day just to get to work and come home. I was extremely tired, no matter how many hours of sleep I got (6, 8, 10...) I was always tired. Then I started having headaches that would last for hours, then for days, then for weeks. I started to feel like I had a cold (on good days) or the flu (on bad days). My throat was sore, my voice was hoarse, I was congested and then I started having night sweats or trouble controlling my temperature (freezing even though the heat was on and the electric fire place was going). When I spoke to my doctors about my concerns it was written off as stress, depression, or anxiety. Whenever someone in the office I worked in got sick (you know how it goes around in an office environment) I would get sick too... my co workers would feel unwell for a few days, I would feel unwell for weeks. I then got strep throat but the doctors said I’d be fine with a few days rest. A few days went by and it turned into bacterial tonsillitis. I had to have multiple rounds of antibiotics. Then I had a stomach infection that lasted for over a month, a cough that lasted for months (November 2018 - March 2019). At one point I was coughing so hard I thought I would pass out. I coughed till I puked. I coughed till I pulled a muscle. My blood work kept showing elevated levels of inflammation / signs of an infection but since doctors didn’t know why they told me it was probably just fibromyalgia (something which shouldnt’ be diagnosed until all other possible causes have been ruled out). The rheumatologist in Scotland said there was no cure but I could do yoga, meditate, and maybe take an anti depressant... I felt like I was dying - I didn’t understand how I could feel so sick and no one seemed to take me seriously or care. A year and a half later (June 2019) I decided to move back to Germany - Brexit was looming and I just wasn’t happy in Glasgow anymore. Everyday was a struggle, my bus commute to and from work often took an hour and would leave me in so much pain I could barely get up off the couch at the end of the day. Plus work was not happy with all of the sick days I’d had to take. Keeping in mind that I felt sick everyday and I only took sick days when I had a high fever or wasn’t able to talk or walk.  My parents lived in Germany at the time so I found a job where I could work at home in Germany and moved back in hopes of finding answers.  A few months after moving back to Germany my parents sadly had to go to the US so I was once again alone in a new area. In November 2019 my cough returned and I was sick again with an unexplained “upper respiratory infection”. Once again I was put on multiple rounds of antibiotics which didn’t help - To make things worse I am allergic to almost all cough syrup and since I was working in a call center I was off work sick. The cough lasted till mid January this time and I lost my job. Work “understood” that I was going through a tough time and “felt horrible” for letting me go - they said I could reapply when I was “healthy”... and to top things off, my emotional support animal of 8 years, my baby girl Biene (a 11 year old Australian Cattle dog), my rock and constant companion, was then diagnosed with cancer and passed in December of 2019.  I have to admit that these have been some of the hardest moments of my life... I have felt like such a failure and disappointment. I was an adult, I was supposed to be married and adopting kids (I’ve never wanted biological children due to my health issues), I was supposed to be getting my masters degree and leading a successful career, I wanted to travel and I wanted to be a source of positivity and happiness in the world... but instead I was broke, alone, grieving, depressed, anxious, and continuously sick... I have had to rely on my parents financially and have felt like a burden...I wanted to give up...but I kept fighting. Life gives us new reasons to keep living. I had a few great moments, I was blessed with a few opportunities for travel and have enjoyed those moments. I have great friends and family who continued to support me and who told me I was not a burden on their lives, so I kept fighting. I felt like my new German doctor wasn’t taking me seriously and once again was chalking everything up to stress and then later to grief (over losing my dog). So I found a new doctor a little further away and she listened to me - for the first time in a long time I felt like I had seen a doctor who actually cared. She helped me get in with a rheumatologist and she advocated for me. She agreed that my blood work constantly showing elevated levels of inflammation / infection - for over a 2 year period - along with me constantly feeling unwell wasn’t something to just be ignored but was an important symptom. While she had no idea what was wrong with me she was determined to help me find answers.  In May I finally went and saw the rheumatologist - at first I thought all hope was lost, in our very first meeting she said to me “ I don’t think there is anything wrong with you”. She had barely looked at my paperwork and had barely listened to my symptoms. They sounded too generic for her...she didn’t think ti could be anything “rheumatic”... I was so young... It was probably stress... I’d heard it all before; but still she did her job, she ran the tests and a month later I was suddenly called back in for another appointment. My blood work showed what I had known all along - that I was sick - that I needed help and she admitted that she’d been wrong.  It’s only been 12 days since I was finally diagnosed but its been a roller coaster of emotions for me - relief and validation - fear and anger and sadness... my life has so not gone to plan. I have struggled with depression and anxiety since I was 12 and the added stresses of the instances above, and the near constant pain (both emotional and physical) have not helped, but I refuse to give up. I’ll be completely honest with you, some days I don’t even know why - some days I only fight because I love my dog and cat and friends and family and cannot leave them. Other days I fight because I have dreams not yet realized.  So, yeah, I started this blog because I hope to raise enough money to get a service dog (and this is still a major goal of mine) but I hope it will become something more. My friends and family have been so generous during this difficult time for all of us and have donated what they can. So far we have around 700.00 raised of the 10,000.00 euro goal. Reaching the 10,000 euro goal seems nearly impossible ... at least it seems impossible without help...but I have faith.   If you have taken the time to read all of this I want to say THANK YOU. I know your time is precious (as is everyones and I appreciate it). I was wondering if you could share my story? Help me raise awareness about ANCA Vasculitis and other Chronic Illness? Help me raise awareness about domestic / emotional abuse and how it may seem impossible to overcome, but it is not and help me raise awareness about Gender (and other) bias in Medicine? I have a few posts here on my blog that talk about bias in medicine and I could provide you with a 100 different stories from men and women who are constantly battling against this bias to try and get help... and maybe , just maybe you could help me save up enough money to get a service dog? Within my blog everyone can find information on how a service dog could help me, how to donate, and more information about ANCA Vasculitis / Gender Bias in Medicine & I will soon be posting information for victims domestic abuse. Thank you so much for your time. I know that was a lot.  Lots of love from Germany,  Pia

P.S. I promise to pay it forward someday when I am in a better place. In case you’d like to know what some of my dreams and goals for my life are:  To adopt / foster / rescue / help animals in need. To adopt or foster children one day (If I can).  To help further civil rights movements like BLM and to help LGBTQ+ youth. To help further clean living and reduce waste.  To be a light for others who are suffering.  To perhaps one day own a bed & breakfast or cat cafe.

Multiple sclerosis is thought to arise when the immune group mistakenly attacks the protective sheath around nerve fibers in the brain and spine, according to an editorial published with the cram on Jan 19, 2015 in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. No one knows what triggers that queer immune response. But according to the "hygiene hypothesis," Bebo explained, early vital spark encounters with bacteria and other bugs may help steer the immune system into disease-fighting mode - and away from attacks on the body's trim tissue. So, people who have not been exposed to common pathogens, appreciate H pylori, might be at increased risk of autoimmune diseases like MS. That's the theory, anyway. "These findings suggest H pylori might offer some protection. But more studies are required before we can increment to that conclusion". The findings are based on blood samples from 550 people with MS and 299 hale individuals of the same age. All were white and lived in Western Australia. Kermode's yoke found that women with MS were less likely to have immune system antibodies against H pylori - which is ground of a past infection - than women without MS. What's more, among the women with multiple sclerosis, those with a before H pylori infection tended to have less-severe MS symptoms. There were no such patterns centre of men, though. According to Kermode, that difference between women and men is "arguably one of the most fascinating observations of our study. In the model 100 years, the prevalence of MS has increased markedly, and the the greater part of this increase has occurred in women. The fact that over the same period, prevalence of helicobacter in western countries has declined markedly is a tantalizing observation". Much more enquiry is needed to understand its importance. Bebo also urged caution. For one there were extent few men in this study, which could skew the results. In the bigger notion this study is one more step toward weeding out the environmental factors that affect MS risk. Researchers are looking at a cover of possibilities. As an example, Bebo pointed to vitamin D, which is important in insusceptible system function. A number of studies have tied higher vitamin D levels in the blood to a degrade risk of developing MS, as well as a slower progression of the disease. So "Understanding the unscathed picture of environmental influences is vital". And what if H pylori is confirmed to affect MS risk, or its severity? According to Kermode, it's feasible that the bacteria could somehow be used to improve treat the disease "You can envision this leading to strategies based on the bacteria, or components of the bacteria, for treating MS" libido. But any such remedy would be a long way off.
