Hello; What's up. Docs?
I had another bad attack of convulsions and muscle contractions yesterday, folks. It wasn't really physically as bad as some others I have had; I got to a chair and a nice friend got things for me, and I was able to talk, as long as I was sitting down. But it whacked my consciousness. I slept the rest of the day in the chair, then moved to the bed by 11:00 at night, then slept until 5:30 the next day. That is something like 16 hours. This morning I was still wry weak and just dopey. No strength, no coordination. Really something. It started with a left-side headache that morning which lasted all day. I just learned that scientists have discovered something like 26 different variations of MS. Certainly, what I had and have doesn't fit any of the ordinary profiles for MS, or the ordinary, really dangerous TM, that most of you suffer from. I'm stumped; and so are the doctors, beyond saying that it was idiopathic TM. My angel of a wife wants to take care of me. I will write, read, and I just bought a mandolin on eBay. I played it as a kid, bluegrass and some Bach. So, this will give me an activity. If I can type on this keyboard then I maybe can play mandolin again. Thanks, friends. Please share any ideas you have about what this thing I have in my nervous system might be. I'm thinking, and I have said before, that it might have some epilepsy content. Who knows.
