Physiology

Is anyone else out there naturally interested in how their body works?


Specifically how we interpret stimuli or lack of.


Psychology has always been a passion of mine and it is a growth from Physiology. I have always been SUPER curious about if the way I feel a touch or smell a smell is the same for every person or to what degree we perceive them differently.


My husband says I am a quack for thinking such things. Is no one else out there interested in such ideas.


Because of all of my health problems I have become so strangely in touch with my body and how I feel. I guess not everyone listens to what their body has to say.


Sometimes I like to touch my arm and really focus on if the sensation I am feeling is coming from my arm being touched or from my fingertips.


The human body is a truly wonderful thing and I would have loved to be alive in the time when they were experimenting and trying to figure it all out. I bet I could have made some neat discoveries. Too bad I wasn't in Germany or a man since those were the only people making such strives.


Tell me what you think. Are you feeling your arm being gently tickled or your fingertips feeling you arm hair. Try touching your arm with something else to feel the difference. I do this sort of thing ALL the time. That's not weird right?

Good days are upon me

Glory be!! I have finally found my nitch and have gotten the hang of all these pills and ailments. Since my last post I have epilepsy to now add to my list of concerns. >.< great just what I need.


But that's alright. I am beginning to fall in my new routine.. its not perfect by any means. But don't tell my husband that. He thinks I take them EVERDAY when im supposed to. I wont lie to you all I don't but I do feel guilty when I miss or am too lazy to get back out of bed to do what im supposed to.


I feel like I have to lie to him sometimes. It really does save an unnecessary fight.


YES. I know I'm supposed to take them
YES  I know its my responsibility
YES  It is my choice if I want to take them or not


Choice... what a funny word. I never got a choice for a lot of these things: medication, dr appts, health conditions.


When I do not take my medicine I feel like it's the only real choice I can make.

Choice = Power


I have felt no worse feeling in this lifetime then being powerless. helpless. and scared
Only referred to in my life as the dark days. It wasn't one time period. They still come and go but I will continue to grow and become strong.


My heart still ticks and I have something worth fighting for
