  1. CW: Backside body / cyst status

    Getting that huge old cyst drained is nasty business but I’m happy I did.

    Pretty sure it’s plotting vengeance but I should be under a surgeon’s knife before it can muster any.

    Still sleeping on a towel in bed but can probably stop.

    If you ever get a plugged pore, take care of it early!

    I was about ready to dress as Baron Harkonen. 😄

  2. Our #preprint where we derive an #activeGel #model with entropic elasticity of the #microstructure from the thermodynamic constraints on the dynamics of #myosin molecular motors is now updated!

    Hopefully more readable, and with the example of a #cyst like contractile sphere.

  3. The ultrasound technician said it looks like a cyst. Now waiting for the X-ray.

    Fucking cysts!

    At least there’s little chance a finger cyst will grow to be the size of a large grapefruit like an ovarian cyst. Also, pelvic ultrasounds are *the worst* because of the need to drink a LOT of water beforehand while not being allowed to pee until after they press down on your full bladder to see the fucking cyst. Talk about torture.

  4. One from last year. This piece materialised as a result of conversations on Twitter about our lumpy bodies as we get older. Get those lumps checked!

  5. CW: Keratin Cyst / Dermatology

    Has anyone ever had or treated a keratin cyst? I had one, had it drained and it went away for a while, but now it's back.

    I need to schedule an appointment with the dermatologist to have it taken care of again, but I don't want it to come back again. Is there anything preventative I can do?

    I know I can have it surgically removed now and will, of course, ask my dermatologist, but if anyone has experience I'd love to hear from you.

  6. Loving long-life heat patches at the moment, in the arsenal of attempts to get my goddamn #cyst to draw out.

    These patches are based on iron's exothermic reaction with oxygen; once you deploy them, the air gets to them and heat is produced for hours at a time, while the contents basically turns to rust. Who knew?!

    Shame I can't get medical attention to just tackle it surgically... massive gap in #nhs remit/capacity here, if you ask me.
