Big bad bug

The cold seems to make the spasm much worse... which had proven a hypothesis I had wrong...

Heat still aggravates pains and I am still stuck with icing (to alleviate pain, not to add flavor to cakes... lol)

I, thus, had hypothesized that, when the weather gets cold, the process of recovery shall be faster.

Yet, on the contrary, nowadays, when it gets cold, my spasms get worse and my body gets tight much easier.

Can' tell you whether it is something shared by people with spasms. The only thing I could tell you is that... on me, such observations are fairly consistent. (Yet, this could fairly well be my hallucinations since, again, there are not observable external stimuli cuz the degree of coldness could only be objectively measured by a thermometer and I have no intention of carrying one around with me lol... shall such belief sustain... we might be coming down with "embodied delusion"-- as opposed to embodied cognition... lol)

When the spasm is really bad, all my limps wants to do their own twitching and I have to tell them to stop-- so that at least I have one leg to stand and one hand to hold that cane.

Does it really work?

God knows...

Yet, similar to my hallucinations, shooting pains and spasms do pass...

It could be my yelling at them that work. Or, it might just be that... the time has come for them to pass... (Similar argument held by some people about whether it is the treatments that are working or just the time when the mental patients to get on to the wagon of getting well...)

Spasm... spasm.. spasm...

It then, occurs to me, that, when I experience spasms... I move so very much like that "Big Bad Bug" in Man in Black I.... who stole the nasty husband's skin and walk around a spasmic (is that a word or should it be spastic? lol) human being...

Apparently, one thing I have been doing a lot is watching the replay of the movies on TV... lol :-x

Yet, one thing I have to say is that the more I rewatch this movie and the more I see myself spas... the more I see the similarity... (and sorry, somehow I could not find a clip for how the big bad bug moves on the Internet... Guess it has something to do with the reason why they call the movie Man in Black but not Big Bad Bug... lol)

Man... don't you tell me that, just because we share some attributes and belong to the same group... Ratprincess is actually a big bad bug... lol

No.. No… if I keep my mouth shut and sit tight not moving, I could actually be classified as a relatively attractive muchachita…



By the way, the theory I derived for such observations is that... cold makes muscle tightening, resulting in worsening of impingement, muscle tightening.. and so on... (see diagram)

Observable outcomes would be me walking more and more like the big bad bug... and more frequently... lol


Yet, this is but a naive theory of mine. I would have to do some more literature review on the topic of cold and spasm before I could report back to you on what those diligent researchers say about it....

P.S., speaking of the big bad bug... reminding me of metamorphosis of Kafka... Am I getting there? My God!? :-O lol :-x
