Preach

Jag fick precis ett missat samtal från Somalia. Wtf. xD

Blir så frustrerad. Var på vårdcentralen nyss. Sex ggr stack dom mig innan jag fick gå hem. Men jag måste komma tbx på måndag o ta om blodprovet. För dom fick inget blod alls.

Samma sist jag var på sjukhuset. Sjunde ggr lyckades dom få så dom kunde ge mig medicin. Jag r så trött på detta. Kan inte rå för att jag e kroniskt sjuk. Enda alternativet vården har e o operera in en sak vid hjärtat typ. Nej. Tack.

Tro fan att mina blodådror gömmer sig när dom blir totalt jävla misshandlade var tredje veckan.

Åh. E så jävla less rent ut sagt

Kärlen vidgar sig när du är varm, det kanske du kan dra nytta av till.. nästa gång?
..det är inte överdrivet roligt att ge intrycket av en nålstucken narkoman. _--

MTEL Hade gått runt inomhus i vinterjacka i över en halvtimme innan så

Var i en butik. Där jobbade visst en kille jag försökt få igång en Tinder-konversation med utan framgång så jag gav upp det, han verkade ju helt ointresserad av mig. Undrar om han kände igen mig? Hade ev. kunnat bli awkward.

Vårt hus är typ det enda i området som sticker ut pga julbelysningsbrist, så jag köpte en stjärna att hänga i fönstret. Mest för att jag tycker det blir så mysigt när man går upp mitt i natten och det lyser lite i fönstret osv.
Men känns ändå... tomt?

Äsch, tänk på miljön och skit i julbelysning! En stjärna räcker gott

Haha, egentligen känner jag för att vara lite "rebellisk" och strunta i all julbelysning (och julen överhuvudtaget...) men det är fler som bor hemma så vi får komma fram till nåt!

... just reading..

The world of medicine has changed the world as we know it, but we didn't always have this knowledge. So of course we always pushed to find answers to what we don't understand resulting into different strange religions, mythology, and folklore.
One of society's most well known mythological creatures is the vampire.
A popular theory of the origin of the vampire is the disease porphyria. Porphyria is a group of diseases in which substances called porphyrins build up, affecting the skin or nervous system. Some forms of this condition, such as cutaneous erythropoietic porphyria (CEP), lead to deposition of toxins in the skin. People who suffer from this tend to be very sensitive to light because light activates these toxins. These active toxins eat away at the skin causing disfigurement, including erosion of the lips and gums. These factors could have led to the corpse-like, fanged appearance that quickly got associated with vampires and their dislike of sunlight. Another small similarity is that people who suffer from porphyria also have an intolerance to foods that have a high sulphur content such as garlic. It's strange the weird things people come up with to explain the unknown. Another possible explanation for vampires is Tuberculosis (TB). Tuberculosis a bacterial infection that can spread through the lymph nodes and bloodstream to any organ in your body. It is most often found in the lungs. The reason this disease has been suggested as the origin of the vampire myth is because victims turn very pale, often avoid the sunlight and cough up blood. This is actually because the disease damaging the lungs, but it’s easy to see how it could be misinterpreted as someone having recently drunk blood. According to this study, the vampire myth may also have come from the fact that TB spreads rapidly and easily from person to person. The infectious nature of this disease may have led to the belief that the vampire rises from the dead to feed on his loved ones, causing them to suffer the same symptoms.

An intriguing alternative explanation is Catalepsy. This is a disease of the central nervous system leading to a slowing of the heart and breathing rate, with sufferers often seizing up completely. A person suffering from catalepsy can see and hear but cannot move. Their breathing, pulse, and other regulatory functions are slowed that to an untrained eye, it would seem as though they were dead. This condition can last from minutes to days. Before 20th century medicine came along, there were few diagnostic tests that could be done on a body to ensure that a person was in fact dead, and so it is likely that persons suffering from catalepsy could have been declared dead prematurely. Embalming a corpse before burial has only been introduced in the last hundred years or so, making it very possible that these bodies were declared dead and buried while the person still lived. Upon recovering from their cataleptic state, the person would try to dig and claw their way to the surface, giving townsfolk the idea that these people were rising out of their graves from the dead. Therefore, since these individuals were perceived to have risen from the dead, it is easy to see how this disorder could be linked to paranormal mythology. Many myths may have arisen from this single condition alone.


Enough about Vampires now it's time to talk about another mythology favorite, werewolves. Werewolves are considered to stem from a lot of the same diseases but there are still a lot of differences, one major one being Congenital Hypertrichosis Lanuginosa also known as werewolf syndrome in extensive cases for pretty good reasoning. Hypertrichosis is an abnormal amount of hair growth over the body The two distinct types of hypertrichosis are generalized hypertrichosis, which occurs over the entire body, and localized hypertrichosis, which is restricted to a certain area.
The cause of hypertrichosis is unknown. Congenital hypertrichosis is believed to be a genetic disorder that is inherited or occurs as a result of spontaneous mutation.

Acquired hypertrichosis lanuginosa sometimes occurs in people who at a later stage are diagnosed with a cancer of some form. Other loosely associated diseases include things like sundown syndrome, sundown syndrome is a term that describes the onset of confusion and agitation that generally affects people with dementia or cognitive impairment and usually strikes around sunset. Werewolves are very known for changing when there is a full moon so many people think maybe it has something to do with the lunar cycle and the pull of the moon. Like how the moon changes the tides it is often thought that it has a pull on us, even though there is no evidence of it affecting the majority of the population there have been studies proving that there may be a connection to those with mental disorders such as Schizophrenia. Suffers generally exhibit 1.8% of increased violent or aggressive episodes during the full Moon. Which could have some sort of connection to people having an episode and it be connected to people “changing” form into a werewolf.
Last but not least is clinical lycanthropy, clinical lycanthropy is defined as a rare psychiatric syndrome that involves a delusion that the affected person can transform into, has transformed into, or is a non-human animal.

While we cant be completely sure what may have spurred about the rumors of these myths and legends its a no brainer that the medical world has made an incredible leap forward over the hundreds of years allowing us to put down our pitchforks and hide away our fears, so that we may enjoy these interesting stories as legends.

muah, leave our creatures alone.
