I hit record on the USB recorder on my stereo bus for a festival I was doing. Reviewing it after the show, the file only came out to be 3kb, and I can't open it in any media player. I've had previous recording during soundcheck of that same festival, turned out fine. I've also recorded previous festivals (same time length) just fine.
Any ideas?
[fairly long post]
2024, after a stressful few months at a new job, and a broken relationship, it started on the eye brows, then on the forehead. I thought it was a pimple and put some oxy10 on it, and it just got worse! I notice my pillow & room floor having more flakes, but worst of it all, the stares. I felt people's eyes going to my patches, that just made everything 10x worse.
A GP prescribed me some topical cream, and referred me to a specialist. Unfortunately, that referral took about half a year. In that time, everything went tits up. The patches on my scalp went rampant, I woke up to blood on my pillowcases, and the itch... ungodly. Thankfully after the referral, I was given some coal tar shampoo, dermasome and enstilar. The docs said it was a mix of ezcema and psoriasis, and gave me a bunch of them and said "Try them and see which works." Thankfully it worked, and I started clearing up, and felt a ton of relief.
But that was until my right foot started swelling. It started with a small sharp pain when my foot turned a certain way. I didn't know what PsA was at that time and just went along with it. One night, I woke up with a sharp pain down my right leg from my butt. It was like a cramp but way worse. I couldn't move it at all. I laid there in pain for a few hours, any attempt at movement resulted in great pain. When it eventually went away, I got up to stretch a little, when I realised putting any weight on my right leg would shoot that same pain. That's when the limp started. I had to borrow my dad's cane to help me walk. Several trips to the GP yielded no results, until one of them finally referred me to a rheumatologist, where I finally understood what PsA was. Before the referral, I was popping 3 diclofenac a day to help me walk. The cherry on top was that I had a solo trip to Europe, and this would completely ruin it, and it did. A 23 year old, limping through the long airport hallways and through the streets of Europe. My work is rather physical and required me to be on my feet too, which made it so much worse. I felt the eyes on me again.
Thankfully, the rheumatologist prescribed me some MTX, and I've never needed to touched that cane ever again.
