Fucking dozens of little seizures

I REALLY hope you bought that from the amazon mp3 store

edit: that is to say, I assume you did, and I am joking.

 

this conversation is making my head spin, no flashes needed.

hugs to Dave

 

I believe in god differently from the way most christians believe in god.

I had a personal experience, and it lead me down a different path, it's closer to that of a quaker than that of evangelicals, but still not quite there.

 

I believe in Jeebus.

 

I'm sorry you have so many seizures Dave. That's just awful. The few I've had were more than enough, and one of my biggest fears is having another one.

Take care.

 

i'll just pretend i didn't read that:toetap05:



anyway, i'm sorry you're not feeling well. i hope you feel better.

i suppose it's no consolation really, but remember things could be worse

in neuroscience yesterday we primarily were dealing with basics regarding amnesia.

there was a very extensively studied patient identified as H.M. who had severe, uncontrollable epilepsy, averaging on 20-30 major seizures PER DAY. they surgically removed the focus of the epilepsy as a last resort, which significantly reduced his seizures...but left him with relatively mild retrograde amnesia but very dense anterograde amnesia specific to declarative memory....and unlike most amnesiacs, he was aware of the condition from which he suffered.

it sounded like a very troubling life, moreso than most people must endure.

but i suppose this probably isn't very consoling

wish i knew something to make you feel better, man

 

i'd be intensely interested in hearing details of your experience, if you see fit to share.

 

man, anterograde amnesia is shit

I'm a ridiculous anterograde amnesiac post ictal, ask aristartle about it. I wish she'd had more fun with me.

I actually knew a kid who had upwards of 70 major seizures a day and wound up getting lobotomized, yes, they still do that, to those of you who don't know about it.

fortunately the worst day I've ever had is two grand mals and a partial complex (plus sundry glitches, which don't count, except in that they're fucking irritating as all fuck)

 

interesting word choice...

I'm fascinated as well but I'm tending to see that fascination as having a common origin with that which makes me feel compelled to gawk at an auto accident when I'm supposed to be driving.

I'm sorry you're not doing so well these days Dave. I sincerely hope that you can get the issue resolved. You have an incredible mind.

 

how do you mean?

i meant in terms of his spiritual experience which seems to define his understanding of the divine:cheers2:

 

my experience is of little or no value to anyone else, and I would not waste your time, or my own by sharing it.

I'm only having a shit time because I'm pretty much unmedicated right now, which shouldn't have happened, but it has.

 

in terms of life-changing value, no, probably not.

but i am interested regardless.

 

I asked for a lambswool, and got it.

I think mostly because of the kind of creature I am, and my basic lack of spiritual gifts

 

fair enough:cheers2:

 

Check the bold... just having a tiny but of fun at your expense.

 

Can you get the necessary medication? Please do so if you can.

 

it's complicated, I am trying to simplify the situation, but it doesn't help that my boss is a lying sack who isn't giving me that which I am due.

 

Damn... it's a damned shame you're at the mercy of someone with so few scruples. Perhaps there are higher powers that can assist you... with the proper exposure to general scrutiny of course.

 

the people with more power have less scruples, and only do decent things if it's to keep their own names clear of harm.

 

That's where exposure and proper scrutiny come into play. Name names and relate the detailed truth and retain as much documented proof as possible. Are your bosses lies in writing?
