I am almost done with my disease at last

This time I will try to be brief, or at least, more than the last few times. ;)

If you remember me, you might have noticed I basically stopped posting since a long time ago. That is because my eyes and ears (because of a non-canceral brain tumor that has really made my senses ultra-sensible) are really sensible to virtually any sound, video, animation, so I have to get some rest, but that is very hard. I had a real hard time to read dense text so I nixed reading a lot of website including GAF. I was withdrawing from my medication, because the tumor is basically melted completely, but there is a lot of neuropathical pain remaining in my nervical system, which is still making my senses go worse day by day. I needed to do it, because the medication i needed to stop the neuropathical pain had no effect with the medication I previously took, because my system was numb to all good benefits of medication. And now, just yesterday, finally I can feel the effects of pills. I took Tylenol or Ibuprofen before, and I did not felt anything at all, only codeine did anything to me. I was taking medication (Klonopin) to treat the dyskynesia I had since I began the medication to threat my tumor, from which I am also withdrawing. Finally, I tried to take the smallest dosage possible and it made me sleep like a little baby. I have got to thank Raoul Duke as for that, I spoke with him via PM and I recalled that, and seriously, that really is how I realised that my goal was accomplished. Thanks dude, if I recall correctly you were having issues with your health too, and of course I can only wish you the best. Now, the last miles. I have an appointment with my neurologist, and we will settle on a medication to kill all the remaining neuropathical pain. It will be long and probably hard, but after that, I am a new man. I have lost half my weight (I was morbidly obese before so that is good), everything is intact in my body and mind, and finally, I will get the sole thing I miss and really need, my senses. I don't know when, but finally I am done with this shit. I heard my first tinnituses in january 1998 and did not knew what I was into. Now it's sure I am going to be saved. And as all doctors were completely clueless about my health state, I had to gather all the info, I will have saved my very own life. :)

I will be able to go out there, there's a nice forest just behind my house, I did not took a walk outside since september 2003. No movies, games or music whatsoever since that time. I am fucking tired, I have a humongous backlog, I am so near my goal, I am confident for the first time since I learnt I had a tumor in october 2003. It's hard for me to even envision myself being good, but finally I'm nearly done with this shit. I would like to say, if any of you know of really ill people, do not let them alone and take great care of them. Because I am on my own and everyone swept away, I lost much time and I am still morbidly lonely right now. I only go out of my house for medical appointment, the last one was in mid-february if I recall correctly. That's right, I am in my house since that time. I never really enjoyed outdoors, but how I can't wait. :)

I have really had a load of shit going on in my life as you can imagine. I really enjoyed reading and posting on GAF, right now I cannot handle much long and dense texts so I do not post much. However, I spoke with some of you online via IM, and that is really appreciated. I also welcome anyone, you can check my profile if interested. Wholeheartedly, I would like to thank all fellow GAFers to which I speak to, you really make a difference in my life, and I am eternally grateful to you as for that. :)

This HDTV I have is taunting me, because I cannot bear anymore looking at the eternally blank screen, not being able to withstand video nor sound. Not for long anymore. Good times for a change, at last!

Talking with you is interesting at least I have to say.

So anyone else who is bored should talk to Jotaro he can carry on a conversation quite well!

Jotaro, as always, I'm glad things are getting better for you.

I don't believe I ever heard the outcome of your possible date with the girl you met. Did it happen? If so, how did it go?

Congrats on you getting closer to your goal of being cured!

It was really wonderful, beyond my expectations, but she had to go and will never see me again. In more details, I'd rather not talk about it on GAF. Unfortunately, I am not as lucky as the guy in my avatar. ;)

Jotaro is an awesome, wonderful person, and I have come to care for him a lot the short amount of time I have known him.

He is indeed interesting to talk to and intelligent to boot!

I'm happy to hear things are going good for you, Jotaro, as usual. :) I'm lucky to have gotten the chance to know you.

Rock on.

Damn, do you have any family that comes in and keeps you company once in a while?

It's better not to, I gave up, ill people's life do not prevail for long onto your peers'. I hope for a little company but I gave up, fortunately I can rely on myself, even if it's extremely hard at times.

Why do so many people have photoshops of NASA cosmonauts in uniforms as their avatar? :lol

One thing I am utterly disappointed with is Mike Works, to which I only talked to sporadically. I always wondered in my life, being french canadian, if english canadians really said eh all the time or if it was just a stereotype, and he did not replied to that for some reason. I figured out he was the right one to ask such a question, since he is an english canadian himself and his AIM screen name ends up with eh, but no such luck. I still wonder.

Don't worry so much about Mike Works, I think he's secretly ashamed :(

Just made even more progress. The medication (I discovered this on my own again) that i took for my tumor has no impact on the numbness of my senses, so that will save me a lot of time, maybe a few months! Got an appointment next wednesday and we're rolling in to the last few steps. Also, my pupils were always really dilated, now they are getting normal little by little, that's why my eyes and ears (these because of balance) were so much sensitive, and that is a symptom of a cure! :)

I thank once again all the GAF people I chat with, you really make the difference. I cannot really browse the boards pretty much at all since a relatively long time, that might well change in the next few days.

Wow, I can't imagine what your life must have been like the last 2 years. No music = unbearable for me.



Either way, good to hear you're gaining the upper hand on this bitch

Well, I do not have to listen to sappy pop music or nu-metal bands. But I get songs stuck so easily in my head, I have voltage problems with my comp, and when I began to learn PSUs back then (at College), I was listening to the song High Voltage by Linkin Park in a loop. So now I try to fix my problems and everytime I think "how can I check out the voltage?", I am depressed and I hear the first seconds of Mike Shinoba's emcee skills on this uber obxonious nu metal song by an event crappier nu metal band.


"AHAHAHAHAHA-HA! HAHAHAHHAHA-HA!"

"IT'S HIGH VOOOLTAAGE, YOU'T CAN'T TAKE THE SHOOCK 'CAUSE NOBODY WANTS YOU TO STOP' CHECK IT OUT IT'S HIGH VOLTAGE..."


Argh that makes me want to fucking kill! So please everyone tell me what bands and artists I am oh so very lucky to miss out on. :D :lol

Jotaro wins. Flawless, victory. FATALITY. :lol

I don't know a lot of posters here, but your name always stuck with me. Your posts actually make sense and I have the feeling you are wise beyond your years. When you can go out again I'm sure you will make a great contribution to society. Finally you can enjoy life again like it's meant to be, make the most of your time.....live Snake...LIVE!!!

Funny thing is I had to find one in like 10 seconds (in 2000), and I remember I had played the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure PSX fighting game in 2000. However, I soon realized right after that Kujo Jotaro looked quite like a queer, I had forgotten it, until now, and now I wonder if I have had the nickname of a gay (or even bi-curious) guy, even if he's from an animé, simply because I am not. I mean I REALLY do not think there is anything wrong with that, but still could anyone tell me if Kujo Jotaro ever shows signs of homosexuality in either the Manga or animé of Jojo' Bizarre Adventure? I need to identify to my characters, hence my Lucky Luke avatar (to which I aim to). Yes you made me ponder something I'd maybe have been better left forgotten, but at least I might well be clearer with my mind. :(
 
Wow man, I can't imagine what your life has been like the last couple years, but I am really happy for you, hearing your getting over it and beating it is great, congradulations man, I hope you really enjoy your life, I imagine it will get a whole lot better for you man, good luck with it, and like Crispy said, LIVE! And if you are intrested in learning the story behing the quote, play and beat Metal Gear Solid 3.

I learnt on GAF that it was the most best game of 2004, and that it had the best graphics, cinematics and story nearly like ever, so I just like bought it totally! However I suck at stealth games. :(

man i'm glad to hear about ya man. I hope all continues to go well with you.

I've got a set of cancerous growths in both my stomach and esphogaus. They were able to via surgery get rid of the one in my esphogaus, i was having a hard time swallowing and other things like bleeding. The form of cancer is astrosyomosus its a form of carcinoma. And its one bad bitch.

I'm still undergoing some tests with this drug company. My MRI showed that they might have taken me off one of the meds to quickly. An area that was free of any growth is showing a migration and growth at a very agressive state. They have me set for another MRI in a week or two.

I've gone through 8 radial treatments. Most through my nose and a little drip machine. I just dont want anything else to happen like Lukemia or something else.

But good luck man i wish you well.

If anyone wondered I wondered if the GAME and ANIME CHARACTER as opposed to me, that share my nickname, was gay because I had this nickname since 2000 and a posted made me realize Kujo Jotaro from Jojo's Bizarre adventure (manga, videogame, and animé) was gay since there are many such references in this comic. Sorry it got wiped out with the system crash. And it was mostly candid and ironic, i'm straight mind you. The confusion came from the fact that there was another post form me in the thread that referenced to the post I made quoting Crispy (which is still right here), but people did not read it, and by reading just the last one, well it created unfair confusion and all that.

And I still got Linkin Park's high voltage stuck in my head. :(

Mike Words himself told me the truth on AIM in between, so I guess it's a justified stereotype much to my despair. :(
