I had not planned it this way but I had a repeat of the meiborn gland issue that got me sent to hospital in February. I had, in just four short days, a chalazion turn into hordeolum aka an infected cyst. It’s probably a side effect of the IL-17 biological I am using. I had […]

I wrote these notes while a little bit high, both literally (a transcontinental flight) and figuratively (CBD & a THCa blend meant to give anti-inflammatory relief without hitting your mind but it probably does) but it’s hard to say if I’m less focused than when I’m on the ground. You be the judge of that. Nostalgia […]
If you watch me closely (which would be weird but I make it easy enough) you have surely noticed I spend much of my life traveling. I’ve got no training in psychology but it sure seems like a certain personality type takes their childhood traumas and does exposure therapy till it becomes enjoyable. I had […]

Day 1848 and Call To Prayer
The call to prayer echoed out as I stood underneath one of many loudspeaker towers bristling with surveillance equipment. Strong winds buffeted cell equipment and 360 degree video eyeball cameras as the firm melodic voice of the muezzin recited out the first words of the Adhan. “Allahu akbar” I wonder how many cameras were scanning […]

But I’ll attempt to list a few of my favorite posts of 2025 on the last day of year. Healthcare and Biohacking Day 1490 […]

Day 1814 and Spicy Boi Shots
I’ve been trying to coax myself into taking my final biological injection of the year for most of the day. It’s a very painful shot. The feeling of it is somewhere between stinging and hot sauce being pushed into your subcutaneous fat. It’s spicy I switched my IL-17 inhibitor for my inflammatory conditions as one […]
I feel as if I lost almost all of October to combating a medical hard left turn from what was supposed to be a pretty simple procedure requiring no downtime and little healing. I feel like I got quite a scare and yet you’d think I’d be used to it, as this is all downstream […]
It would seem I found an antibiotic that disagrees with me. As the tail end of my soft tissue recovery from my abscess surgery and deep tissue infection appears in sight I had a setback with an additional antibiotic. Cephalexin was one of the top choices on the pathology report from the hospital and recommended […]
I am now forty eight hours post operative and I feel like shit. I was warned but I am not enjoying how the very intense antibiotics make my brain feel. The first five to ten hours after surgery when the local anesthetic hasn’t fully worn off and your adrenaline is still pumping are the easiest. […]
As I slowly walked myself out of surgery yesterday, I thought to myself “I actually feel much better!” And I genuinely did. If you have a gentle stomach, maybe stop reading here. I’m fine. I’m on my way to well. And this will be graphic. I do feel dramatically better having had the “slouching towards […]
