Only in the Philippines- uniquely Pinoy

I hate insomnia! I have suffered insomnia for years, and caffeine has nothing to do with it whatsoever. I can go on for days without caffeine and still only get 3-4 hours broken sleep at best. I thought I’d cured my insomnia because in the last 4 weeks, I had been sleeping well without the aid of sleeping pills. Then since last Monday, my insomnia is back with a vengeance. I used to watch dvd movies when I’m awake at 1:00 am, or browse at Ebay and break my bank account before day break. These days I prowl between LIP ‘n LIC forums or write draft articles for Rusty. Much healthier for my bank balance -LOL!

I was prowling on Bob’s LIP forum yesterday and had a good laugh at (Pommie) John Grant’s “You know you are Filipino if…” article. So I remembered I actually found and saved an article written by another Pommie, Matthew Sutherland, a journalist based in the Philippines. I don’t know if he still is?

Lupus Recovery Day and Education for Those not Afflicted

My hair lost its red because I stopped going into the sun, one of my high school friends noted that when we re-connected last week. That is because the sun made me sick. As a kid, a hard day of play in the sun left me with strep throat the next day on several occasions.

Muscle Pain Vs. Norgesic Forte

I was fearful of the change from cyclobenzaprine to Norgesic Forte. Now that I’ve made the change, I’m very hopeful. Within 24 hours all the pain in my calve muscles were gone. All the pain in my face and most my shoulder pain is gone as well.

I’ve been dealing with pain in these areas since my teens. Lupus could be the cause, diabetes can be part of the muscle pain as well. Now, I have diagnosed myself with Scleroderma and that is even more likely to be related to my muscle pain. I’ll get a second opinion from my doctor next month. :)

p style=”text-align: justify;”>Today, I worked on web pages, I worked on them all day long. I need to make a little extra cash and I can’t work in the Philippines at all. Not that I really want too, designing web pages would be cool but that’s all I would be willing to do, if I could get permission to do it.

Today was filled with a significant amount of lupus pain. My right hip is really hurting. I didn’t go for a walk today.
