an apology and an explanation

[the_siobhan]

First of all I apologize for worrying people.

I'm ok, really. I'm just - upset. And I really really hate crying in front of people. And it occurred to me to be rather wry about the fact that I never used to cry when bad things happened to me because I was so numb all the time I didn't feel much. So now that I'm (comparatively) mentally healthy I'm all over the place with the tears and I hate it.

I guess it's not something that translates well in a short LJ post, and I'm sorry for doing that to you.

Long story short, the stomach thing is driving me nuts, I have Axel pointing out to me that I have been getting more frequent and more debilitating migraines lately, I'm starting to get a little concerned about the fact that have been dizzy every day for the past three weeks - and then today I got told I have advanced periodontal disease and I'm going to lose all my teeth.

And that was just my last fucking spoon.

I have lots of students hanging out in the kitchen many evenings, who seem to agree with you on the gorgeous bit. I will be delighted to have you here any time.

On the health front, greens, mentioned elsewhere, are a great idea. I suspect they don't have nearly enough folate to make a huge difference directly in your mouth, but the folic acid they do have is balanced by other vitamins and flavonoids and things, and so is better for you in general. Eating more greens *and* rinsing (for one minute) & spitting with folic acid (aka folate) is probably an ideal protocol. It sounds like you've got a good handle on the calcium as well - those greens, again, contain some calcium, well balanced with other things (e.g., magnesium) that are a good idea for bone health.
