The Gates (II)

I will also write the logic behind the "trick" in a more concise way, skipping all the testing and the story that made it longer. I: Why it's muscular in the first place First of all, although the syndrome manifests itself in a lot of symptoms, a set of them seem straightforwardly muscular/mechanical (widespread muscle, joints and nerve tinglings and pain, subluxations), and then there's another set which is more mysterious, complex and seemingly unrelated (blood pooling, brainfog, dysautonomia, etc.). The first suspicion is that since the muscular issues, weaknesses, pains are so widespread from head to toes, that they are all connected, even if it's not clear exactly how, so the approach is to think about the issue in a  "global" way (thinking of all the muscles and joints as a coordinated system), and not "locally" (joint by joint). Then, given the muscular issues are already there and in the full body, you could think (or hope) that the mus...

The Gates (I)

Ok guys, I got some inspiration to write today (even though the nerves still feel quite bad) after less than 3 months which is surprising. I hope I can keep this writing pace from now on :) The time since the last post has felt like an eternity, so many things have happened. First, the World Cup with Morocco's surprise, the epic Argentina vs France final with Mbappe's hat trick and Dibu's last minute save, and of course the Argentina and Messi World Champions (I need to show this catchy song ). Then the whole political upheaval in my country, the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict, the Bolsonaro fans storming the Congress a-la-american, the new ChatGPT sensation, the incredibly sad Turkey and Syria earthquake, and so many other things. It's as if the world is going a bit crazy lately. Being in Peru, usually we just take the third world backseat, grab popcorn and see the big things happening somewhere else on the TV, but Peru has been chaotic in the last years, and it hits ...

Hello Peru

Hey y'all, sorry for the long delay since the last post. I was feeling fucked still, with not much energy to write. Many things have happened in the last 4 months so I'll make a little update. So, as the title for this entry says, I got a flight to my country Peru, so I'm no longer in the US. I got an approval to get a medical leave, which can last up to a year, so my PhD studies are interrupted. As I said in the last entry, I was feeling very overwhelmed and still sick in the last semester, my advisor noted my bad state and she suggested the option of a medical leave. One year into this recovery, despite the good progress I was still feeling like crap and my research was very, very lackluster. I'll be continuing my therapy here in Peru, cutting all the physics research for some time. So the mission for next year is to recover fully to dive back into physics, and then to get more convincing results such that the cure hopefully gets tested on others and becomes widesprea...
