I would like to start from scratch in the forum

Hi, Welcome!

<>
So, aesthetically, my appearance is improving.

I've started looking at my eyes again, and I can wash some parts of my face. I'm currently evaluating it, because it will depend on me, on how I follow the doctor's advice, and on how certain parts of my body react.

Today, they were able to remove some stitches from my eyebrows.
They were very deep.
The doctor apologized because he understood it was hurting, while I told her thank you and to move on.

The rest is more complex because it will depend on how the bone tissue reacts (which is living tissue; bones undergo continuous structural changes in people, which we aren't aware of).
And that area is very close to the optic nerve and the trigeminal nerve.
A nerve that branches out from the gasserian ganglion in three directions, the fifth cranial nerve, responsible for facial sensations and control of the masticatory muscles.

This also involves nociception.
Which is the perception of signals of tissue damage, or a threat of damage, that are transmitted from the peripheral nervous system to the central nervous system.
After the emergency room, they took me to a first-level university clinic.
There, they gave a precise diagnosis.
Because two CT scans couldn't figure out exactly what was going on.
The bony component of the orbit has cracked.
So it will depend on how it settles over time.
And on how it reacts, also based on chewing.
Medicine was my passion.
For now, I'm at step 1.
Remove the stitches.
Avoid keloids in the scar, reduce it; we'll see.

The wound appears well treated.
The stitches were very deep but kept wide.
In recent days and in the future, I've been using and will use a cream to prevent them.
Maybe this information might be useful to someone: in cases of trauma and scarring, these should not only be kept very clean, but also treated with specific medications.
To prevent other problems from developing, the stitches should be kept wide during the suturing phase to avoid any unpleasant consequences.

The doctor was Asperger's (we talked about it in the hospital), and let's just say he understood things more carefully.
The things I had intuited.
That is, the possibility of an orbital fracture.
I'd say I'm at the limit because something could develop that would require maxillofacial surgery.
I've increased the medication, which is a muscle relaxant, and I'll always keep the dressing on hand. As a precaution.
I have a tendency to bruxism, so I'll avoid it.
I do exercises to avoid double vision.
Last night I had severe cramps in my left calf where there's another lesion, which I'm having closed; I know how to do it.
I used to treat this type of injury.
I found myself dealing with a very young, very good, and attentive doctor.
I waited 4 hours to see her, but then she kept me in for 45 minutes.
Which for me is a very long time; keep in mind that I only use email with my doctor to communicate and for prescriptions and when I have to write him medical information.
Then everything is electronic, so all I need is a card and I have everything to take to the pharmacy or read the advice.
I hadn't been there in 4 years.
It's so nice to see people so passionate about their profession.
She even paid for lunch to see me.
And then travel so many miles to her second medical practice in another city.
There are people Wonderful.
She didn't charge me anything.
So I gave her a gift.
She was amazed and happy.
I can't tell what other people think from facial expressions.
But if they add sincere smiles to words, then yes!

Thanks for asking!

What do you mean by severe allergic reactions?

I have them too.
I've had some tests done on them.

If I can figure something out, I might be able to give you an answer.

It will depend on my level of knowledge on the matter.

Allergology is very complex.

Sorry for the question

@Jakki
I'm allergic to both nickel sulfate and dust mites.
Now: both are everywhere.

I also need to ask the allergist the right questions.
Because I'd like to figure out if it's a false allergy.
Due to histamine.
Diamine oxidase (DAO).

Also because it doesn't make much sense to not have suffered from it until 18 months ago and suddenly have this allergy that causes several unpleasant problems not only in the intestinal tract but also in the list of foods that induce/contain histamine.

I tried medications in consultation with my specialist: a cortisone and an oral antihistamine, and it eliminated 90% of the symptoms.
In addition to avoiding many foods.
However, it's not a cure, just something temporary to take.
So, in my opinion, it could be a very different interpretation for the specialist to consider.
Otherwise, it would be a sort of medical loop, and I wouldn't have an appropriate treatment afterward.

I'd like to offer him several perspectives to evaluate.
Otherwise, the diagnosis would be as if already addressed.
Therefore, it would be potentially incorrect.
Tests can point to a solution, but they can also make us reconsider our assumptions, because if they lead to improvements, the evaluation guidelines can change dramatically.

I'm writing this in my case.

You know, a few hours ago, after writing the answer, I corrected it three times.
1) I'm not good at writing in English.
2) I have some deficits, regarding dysorthographia.
3) I also have them in my second language, which is Italian.
I'm very good at understanding languages, but I get the written form wrong.
Or I go on and on in my posts: so if you haven't read the whole or part of the thread, I'd understand!

4) My answer should have been short.

That is: Welcome, thanks for asking.
I'm catching up.
Don't worry: my writing style is intricate and it's difficult to understand the meaning of some passages.
Also because the arguments in my mind come quickly.
And I could never outline them in writing because it's slow.
5) I tend to be cold, but not insensitive; on the contrary!

You know, yesterday during my visit I met a very empathetic doctor.

I told her about my autism.

She was interested in understanding.
I described it with words no longer used in Italian.

I used the word infer.
It's actually perfect.
It expresses a lack of theory of mind.
Inferring about the mental states of others.
It was a perfect explanation.
And it was very brief.

She was touched by the gift: because it was a gift (I asked others because I didn't understand her joyful reaction).

The gesture was kind of me.
But I didn't react in a neurotypical way.
Obviously: I'm not.
She took the time to help me.
And in Italy, if you're outside the region, you don't have your own doctor.
You can leave your state doctor.
Forever.
Get a temporary one and renew.

The laws are stupid.
It wasn't like this before.
Years ago, a fascist political party turned Italy into a nation of regions held together with duct tape (that is, we're 20 regions disunited except when we need to help each other, then we're incredible, then we disunit again).

In this region, the people are very human.
Beautiful on the inside.
In mine, very tough.

Eric Cantonà, the footballer, has roots in all three of his origins.
The region, where he came from, and France.

We were part of France.

And my relatives were very close to the border with them.

An island, among other things, where Napoleon Bonaparte was born. He was born after the 40 Years' War for independence.

And we lost it.
Napoleon was born on August 15, 1769, in Ajaccio, Corsica, when the island had just been annexed by France for a year. Therefore, it was not Italian but French, although with a strong Italian and Genoese identity in its local culture.

After the Greek and Roman dominations of antiquity, the Early Middle Ages in Corsica consisted of successive waves of invasions and clashes between the Byzantines and the Saracens. Only the arrival of the great maritime powers such as the Republic of Pisa and Genoa offered Corsica relative stability, under papal administration, until the early 18th century.

In 1768, Corsica joined the Kingdom of France, at the end of a 40-year war of independence that began with peasant revolts. The protagonists of Corsican history are not all unknown, some like Napoleon Bonaparte, Pascal Paoli or Sampiero Corso have influenced, each in his own way, the history of France or the world.

Never imitate him!
He has the dominant character of a leader.
However, he was very quarrelsome.
The character of many people in my region is similar to his.
Very, very tough.
Here, they are much kinder than us.
I love kindness.

p.s:Eric Cantonà was born in Marseille.
His origins are from my region, and many others are from his character, and two-thirds are genetic.
I also meant genealogical.
I'm sorry, I wrote in a way that wasn't clear enough!

This is one of the British musicians who passed away this year: Rick Davies, Supertramp.



Some people you wish would never die.
I believe he had been ill since 2015.

A bit like Ozzie Osbourne, he leaves us an important piece of music history.

"Child of Vision" from the album Breakfast in America is one of my favorite songs.

The song "Child of Vision" by Supertramp was written by Roger Hodgson and Rick (Richard) Davies.

They will remain.
Even though there wasn't much harmony between them even before that album.
Richard Davies

Swindon, July 22, 1944 – New York, September 6, 2025

Am not a footballer, but even so was impressed ,he got to play .for Manchester United..even if alittle rough player.

Yes am saddened about Davies passing. will respond more later .. Most of the antihistamines have barely been helpful.
Would it be possible to PM with you .

I don't like soccer because I don't consider it a fair sport, having played it at school.
I was very good tactically, I knew what to do, but I wasn't fast.
But it's really a non-sport.
I haven't followed it since the 2006 World Cup, which we won, and it's so popular in Italy.

We haven't qualified for the World Cup in several years.

Now we have a coach who played for Glasgow Rangers and AC Milan, if I'm not mistaken.

He has a very bad temper.
Under him, we won the last match 5-0 in his debut a few days ago.
Italy only competes in big events.
Sometimes they draw with weak teams and beat super teams like Brazil or Argentina, and almost always against Germany.

There were epic matches at Wembley against England, who beat us 3-2 in the 1930s; they weren't in the World Cup.
In four years we had won two World Cups and an Olympics then: we lost 3-2.
The English are loyal.
They dedicated us, and I believe there is still a plaque outside the Stadium, The Lions in Highbury Park. I'm going from memory because as a child I was passionate about football statistics, too.
Rugby is better, even if we suck, we're in the Six Nations.

Volleyball is quite interesting.
We won the women's World Cup against a much stronger team than ours, Turkey, coached by an Italian.
Volleyball matches are like playing chess.
We have the best coach ever, Julio Velasco, who is Argentine-Italian.
While Sinner lost the US Open to Alcaraz, who deservedly won, they shared the four slams of 2025.
Tennis in Italy has a history that dates back shortly after Wimbledon.
Even though at the time it was thought to be a less combative sport.
Instead, people love it.
Wimbledon is the best tournament there is.

Yes, I understand what you mean: in the UK, if you're unfair, your own fans boo you.
He also has a history in cinema.
I think he stopped at 30.
He had a steely character.
I still believe that.
<>
Davies and not only: the British have musical geniuses, some of them very old now.
He and his band, and practically all their bands, are amazing!
<>
Okay: try sending a message.
I hope I'm not slow in writing because yesterday I had my stitches removed and my eyesight is a bit strained.

<>
But it's better: yes. Don't write about it here, I understand.
Not on posts because it's something private.
Personal.

<>
Okay, Jakki!

@jakki, let me know when you send the first message.

Now I think I can wait an hour, then I have dressings for my eye, legs, back, and shoulder.

*If I can't get back to you right away, it might take a few hours. I'm sorry, because a quick response might be important to you right now.

*Assuming I have the knowledge of a specialist other than mine, I have the basics.
Intuition too.

Maybe if I can get an idea, I'll try to direct you to questions to ask your doctor.

Yesterday, after socializing for hours, when I got home I collapsed, and I had chills and my wounds were burning.
They're burning even now.

Maybe you'll be able to give me some advice about the allergies.
Then my mind will work on it.

If I can't get through right away, I'll respond as soon as I can.

I haven't booked any new appointments yet because I can't drive right now, and no one answers the phone or emails.

And with the new regulations, you can't book an appointment in the afternoon here.

We'll even respond to emails on Sundays if it's important.

They tend to insist that the person come to them.
While in my region, the attitude is cold and managed remotely, and no time is wasted.

Thank you . . ...Please consider day and time changes between our locations..given respective differences and normally ,day to day possible dyfunctions , regarding personal issues . including rest , and interruptions it may be hard to adhere to a more precise schefule of communications. Any patience you might extend in these communications limitations on both of our behalves may allow circumstances of communications to be more fluid .

I'm so sorry, Jakki!
Interactions stress me out too, and yesterday I paid a heavy price.
Today I felt sick.

Even though I went out in the car anyway.
My appearance is improving too.
By the way, I don't have a fixed timetable, also because I sleep very little.
I haven't been able to figure out the time difference between our regions.

Because I always glance at the forum time distractedly.
And we're on daylight saving time.
That is, we're an extra hour ahead of you.

I was assuming the west side of the US.
But we'll see.

Okay!
See you in a bit, I've already seen it.
There's chaos and noise because here in this city they never stop working.

Jakki: Regarding my posts, I'm not in great shape.
Language aside.

I usually struggle to find my level, and my posts are of poor quality.
§
Then: I'm sorry, I owe a lot of replies to other people here. I started some, but I haven't been able to finish them.
For now.
§
The rest: I'm a bit of a wreck after the fall.

I was lucky.
§
I'm working hard on both my body and my mind to recover much faster than expected.
§
Last time, I overdid it, and some wounds hadn't healed at all.

Today, from that standpoint: better.

I also didn't have any leg cramps.

Great.
§
I think I'll get the tit-for-tat vaccine sooner or later, because immunoglobulins are only good for a short time, and with my carelessness, I always risk seriously injuring myself.

§
Honestly, I feel very stupid.
I'm very good at riding a bike.
§
Only once did I swerve.
On the way down, but I was fast and the bike was a racing bike.
§
I almost did because I crossed into the other direction of traffic.

In my region, the climbs and descents are often very steep and slanted.

But luckily, there was no one around; it was early in the morning, and I had recovered (I don't know how to avoid falling).
§
This time, having lost consciousness, even if only briefly, I have a continuum of memories.

They don't match: I found someone who asked.

It was dark, and he didn't know it was me.

He then saw me get up and didn't call for help.
§
In Italy, failure to provide assistance is a criminal offense.

And then, on every street, there's at least one municipal video camera.

In addition to the private ones.

So it's easy to trace the person who didn't provide assistance.

§
I'd say that even though everything was in shambles, I'm recovering very well.
§
I need to work on my recovery for a few more hours.
§
If you don't work hard, you'll never achieve anything.
§
If there aren't serious repercussions, you can recover; I'm used to it.
§
Not from bike falls!
§
I still can't write with a pen and follow the lines.

I'll have to practice that.
§
Diplopia, apparently everything's fine now.

The rest is fine.
I'll have to work on my back for the impact, but it won't be until at least a month later.
§
Then a strong character will do the rest.
§
So, okay.
You know the funny thing in the emergency room?

There were three other people with fractured eye sockets. Bike fall at the same time.

So I wasn't the only stupid person to fall.

People ask me questions here, even those I didn't expect to.

But I don't bother explaining anything to them.

I don't even remember how it happened: a blackout.

I know more or less.
But then I honestly don't know how the wheel abandoned me.

I can do practically everything on a bike except fast descents.
Even riding with no hands, even on a crappy bike.


Nice place here: the people are kind, and if you lose something, they don't take it and put it down next to you.

No one ever steals anything.

It's 2025, which is fantastic

Your ending of your message was a nice little piece of Astute humour .
And sorry ,you have any voncerns of your health, what I found , in order to get maximun results from healing, ,IF you give the body what it needs to heal . it will do the best it can to keep your bodies natural homestatis. And any help that might assist it,that you may wish to help it . With healing in mind . A heavey thick layer each night on your scrapes and bruises of Aloe Vera gel . Does wonders to reduce scarring naturally ..beef or chicken broth? maybe to stimulate collegen type products. You might like Powdered Collagen addititives .for your drinks ?

Your writing seems to be getting better more times you write here.

Hi!

It wasn't humor: people here are truly honest.
They find things others lose and leave them there so they can find them again!

Stuff like a movie!

Imagine no one ever wants to cut in front of you in line.

The exact opposite happens if they're driving.

They speed up just to keep others from getting past!

§

It wasn't a joke.

You know, we Aspergers are more prone to sarcasm?
I've learned irony.

It took years.

(Really, years, I'm not kidding)
§
Meanwhile, thanks!

Yes: I'll use aloe when I have the connective tissue to tolerate it, otherwise it'll cause an infection.

Thanks because the idea is excellent and it works.

§
Broth doesn't make me feel good.
I can't stomach beef.

Chicken: It's been a long time, so I don't know!

Thanks!

You know, jakki, this is like going back to the 60s in Italy.
§
The people are better than where I was before.
§
But the whole region, not just here.
The education is impressive.
Perhaps the most economically wealthy region in Italy.
§
It reminds me of an old TV series. I think it was successful in the US.
I vaguely remember a film before that.

It was called : Due South.

It was very successful in the UK and Italy.

§
Benton Fraser, a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer.
I remember him and his beautiful Siberian Huskie.

He was very honest.
§
The series had a different tone, then it was changed to more dramatic.

Unfortunately, in Italy they dubbed it.
Even though the voices of the Italian dubbers are wonderful, there's always a bit of a sync, and I like to read the translation as much as possible to understand everything.
§
It was thanks to the BBC that the number of episodes was increased and the US programming wasn't cut.
§
The point of the comparison is honesty, even about seemingly unimportant things.

Even a lost set of keys, here they lean them against a gate or a wall and no one ever touches them.
§
Regarding the plant you wrote about, in my region I often used parts of the plant to treat my skin, even after minor sunburns.

An excellent remedy.

Now I have to wait for my skin to heal.

Then apply it.

Now one in particular burns.
§
Regarding improving the writing on posts, I don't like the expressive quality of my
§
Regarding this thread, I was thinking of moving it to avoid taking up space and attention from those who introduce themselves.
Maybe in the members-only discussion section.
§
Or perhaps closing it because I think it's outlived its usefulness.

I'm still a little worried about a friend, Jimmy M.
I hope he's okay.
