The "Go Home You're Crazy Lady!" disease.

After my wife's health issue back 2012 that wiped us out. She came down with a bout of this as well. Until she realized the only relief was about a $500 bill a month.

Insurance don't cover Unicorn pain. The Doctor will convince you they will but they wont. The Doctor will get his and he knows it.
People get older and their tendons and muscles aren't as flexible. You can pull or strain them very easily. Doctors would rather you freak out over a mystery illness than tell you, you probably pulled a muscle or a tendon that can last for 6 months to two years that kind of pain. When shoulders and upper arm muscles and joints are inflamed they pinch nerves in hands, wrist and fingers. They tingle and they are numb. When I read the symptoms they sure sound like what I went through when I pulled my rotator cuff using it as a battering ram to close a steel door into a deteriorated door frame so I could get paid for a job. It's why I ended up learning programing and got out of flooring, my shoulder, neck and right arm was fucked up for two whole years.

The problem with pain is that it is always a "self diagnosis" and there is not much of a test or see if the pain is "real" except probing etc., which also depends upon a subjective response. Elaborate EEG monitoring and nerve conduction studies might be able to see more.

When I had the terrible flu last year, I had something like "fibromyalgia". Basically, everything hurt, my joints, my skin, my lungs, my back, my neck. I even felt like I could feel pain in my bones and skeleton.

However, trash bag diagnoses like "fibromyalgia" cover a lot of sins. If somebody is addicted to opioids that they take for pain, when they go into withdrawal, they indeed have "pain all over" from the withdrawal. The Dr. FeelGoods know that this is a good way to keep the RX pad active and the patient dependent.

That's from your muscles wringing out your lymph nodes every time you wince, cough and sneeze when you get the flu.
your glands and nodes get tender and sore.

Republicans & Democrats are a pain in my ass!

I think that warrants a Vicodin prescription.

Lady Gaga may be crazy but she can produce some really nice music

Not my style at all, but can totally understand why people like it. And not trying to knock her down a peg or anything (she has talent), but there are also a lot of people and tech to help her along the way, as there is in most music production. Probably the main reason I'm not into pop music that much. Too over processed and it's not totally an individual or group of individuals (as in a band) making original music.

easy on the eyes for the most part

Much like music, looks are an opinion. Her face is a train wreck in my opinion, all of it, not most. Sure, I guess I could see it when she's performing or at red carpet shit when they have painted on her face. But the few times I've seen the clown mask off, that situation is shit show if you ask me... and I know you didn't. We'll have to agree to disagree on this one, respectfully.

Yeah, Lady Gaga isn't good looking at all, with or without makeup.

Interesting thread I found, it looks like they're all addicted to painkillers and/or cannabis, or pushing it. "Herbal Medicine" LOL. Excuse to be unemployed and smoke weed.

It's about time Lady Gaga was a pain in her own ass.

Look up Dr. John Sarno. He came up with the diagnosis of TMS that can cover this and other types of pain that persists long after it really should. It’s all related to muscle tension and the damage this does to nerves. And muscle tension is managed by our subconscious which is affected by internal stress. Deal with your feelings first and confront your issues instead of hiding from them, and most of those aches will fade away.

Isn't Gaga the lady singer with a dick?

Are these two events related?

Lady Gaga develops Fibromyassgia, aka Acute Hysteric-Hypochondria

Middle Aged Acute Malingering-Female Attention Trolling (MAA'M-FAT)

90%+ of Fibra My Ass, Gia sufferers are women
80% are over 35
80% are over 25 BMI and half are over 30 BMI (overweight to obese)
50% report Depression
70% report Anxiety
50% are unemployed.
91% of "Personal Injury Payment" (Disability) for Fibro My Ass Gia in the UK go to Women
0% of symptoms are quantifiable based on observative physical symptoms (Neuropathy in extremities, WBC Count, Sed Rate like other Rheumatory disturbances, etc.)
100% of Fibro My Ass, Gia diagnosis are based on subjective pain claims
Locations of Pain do not match up to any nervous system pathways
The same women who claim not to be able to have any kind of work spend hours upon hours on Social Media whinging and sympathy trolling.

Do a quick search of Reddit, Pinterest, etc. Fibro My Ass Gia areas. The #1 complaint? "Nobody recognizes my suffering and dotes upon me"

Sometimes also called "Cubefrau Illness"

I believe the condition is real but a misnomer and belongs to the CFS/ME/PVFS and chronic inflammation bracket. Also probably only 20% who claim to have it do have it, and of those only 20% are in moderate+ pain. It's not uncommon to have aches and pains historically, some come as a result of bodily work. The idea to give someone disability because they have mild to moderate chronic pain/distress is idiotic and enabling all the freeloaders, mostly wommynz. And yes pretty much all I know who have some sort of it also have other psychological or social problems/issues and usually always had trouble keeping a man or a job.

Lady Gaga can actually sing. She doesn’t need any outrageous costume or voice processing. Have you seen her with Tony Bennett?

You do understand live music in todays world, right? I can make a male bass signer sound the exact same with electronics. No one actually sings live anymore. All have effects on vocals at minimum and at worst are auto tuning or lip synching. And not auto tuning like rappers.

A female with good tits and an ass, and a decent producer is a millionaire over night. Has nothing to do with their voice. Very few people have the ability to truly sing. Go to the opera for that. Of somewhat recent vintage, Christina Aguilera I think can sing. Maybe Adele. Lady Gaga, nope. Brittany Spears. Taylor Swift. All a big hell no to it being real vocals. A trained ear, and mine is amateur but have done studio work with musicians, can hear the tuning effect whether live or in studio. Obvious as can be. And even the good singers use tons of effects.

Biggest tell is no acoustic signing. You'll never see the big names do it. A mic is always attached or in their hand. It's no different than a guitar player. They have pedals to change the sound and have for decades. Singers have similar tools that make them sound better. Doesn't mean they can actually sing when you put them on the spot. Most can't.

Would you do yourself the favor of actually watching the video I linked of Lady Gaga singing “Anything Goes” with Tony Bennett? https://youtu.be/EIoyTlfUPPU

Here’s another one, “Night and Day”: https://youtu.be/7P2K7A3hopE

What do you think?

As a (pretty decent) amateur musician in a past life, I can attest to the fakery of voice processing. Even back in the naughties (2000's), vocal processing was pretty damn impressive. Once, for shits and giggles, I picked up a vocal processor from Sweetwater which I planned to return. It had the capability to modify vocal pitch based on MIDI note input. I reproduced the vocal intro to "Bohemian Rhapsody" in realtime, using just my voice and the keyboard. I was seriously impressed with the technology, although I couldn't use it live because I was the keyboard player. I was a better player than vocalist.

This is "Lady Gaga" before she sold out and whored herself out to the machine.
