Muscle spasms suck. :'( · 4:35am Dec 22nd, 2015
Hey all you happy readers! I may seem to be writing in a jolly tone, but truth is, this is taking a while because my left arm is all but entirely out of commission. I've got another case of torticollis, which is basically your muscles spasming and cramping up so bad that it feels like they're trying to tear themselves apart, to the point that just trying to type normally makes it hurt way more than it ever should.
So I'm probably gonna take a couple days, have a bit of a break, let my muscles relax and such, then I'll get right back into the thick of it. Trust me, I don't want to stop either, but what can you do, y'know?

Well yeah, if your left arm goes numb. It isn't in my arm, it's the left side of my upper back, reaching up into my neck to the point that looking down hurts like a motherfucker. I've had torticollis before, it's nothing life-threatening. It's just my muscles going 'oh fuck you man we're gonna make you hurt SO MUCH for no particular reason!'

Yeah, it's kinda like...imagine having to sit up straight and sitting still, because if you move in any kind of way, your muscles are going to make you suffer. That's basically what it is.

It usually goes away after about a week, so I should be fine. Thanks for the concern though!
Oh holy moley I hate that. I didn't know what that was called, so thank you for that.
I hope it passes quickly! Eat a banana! (the potassium might help I have no idea really but hey second-most radioactive food!)
