Hello Everyone, It's been awhile and I have a development which for the first time has me realizing that while I was right in ways. I know that in the past I may have appeared to be self-diagnosing which I was not intentionally doing. On the subject of the epilepsy, my real causation of seizures IS NOT purely Neurological. Anti-convulsion medications were useless because another organ is/was causing these seizure episodes, the organ? My thyroid! What does that have to with the seizures? EVERYTHING! I was referred to an Endocrinologist who looked at my past records and found that I have an active nodule which was producing excessive Thyroid Hormone. My last seizure occurred before I took my anti thyroid medication which since being prescribed has controlled the seizures to the point I am not currently having seizures.

Glad you got that figured out @SeanCharles

I don't know where to put this.

One of my friends was killed today. I don't know which one, just that we have had a fatality.

I don't even know for whom to grieve.

 

[Rose White]

I’m sorry @Paladin_141

 

[SeanCharles]

I am sorry for your loss @Paladin_141

Pulling on my ModHat for a mo!

So I have this French friend, with an amaaaaazing ear for languages, who has never lived outside of France. She does, however, work in a hotel… so she keeps picking up all these different English accents! It’s sometimes reeeeeeally hard to have a conversation with her, because she’s Australian, Londoner & like 9 other parts of England, 2 brogues of Scottish, 3 counties Irish, South African, Texan, Californian (both surfer & valley), Boston, New York, South Carolina… OMFG.

If I were independently wealthy I would pay for her to go live in an English speaking country for a spell, just so one accent would dominate. Instead of 1/3 sultry French & 2/3s Robin Williams.

Her ear is just amaaaaaazing. But she gives me the giggles.

C’est la vie. Maybe someday DGSE or someone from the Mossad will hear her & snatch her up.

I had a chat with a random stranger on the street once upon a time (about 30 years ago) and within 5 minutes of random conversation he was able to tell within 3 miles where I grew up. Each market town in England having its own accent peculiarities, you see.

Also odd because my parents were both imports to the area and I went to school outside it. So it is a very impressive party trick, and apparently I got my accent from the local shopkeeps more than anyone else

Last night we had another extreme weather event. The lightning hit a house in our area and it has a large hole in it. (We It also struck concrete and left big wholes in it. It was quite impressive. Close to this house). As I live in a lightning strike area, I am very cautious when it rains. Several branches were on the ground. So another challenge. Living in an onsite caravan. Lost over 60% of household contents due to a combined Cyclone Alfred and the house next door burning in.

Really lucky to have a caravan to live in.

It just won’t quit for you! The weather is astonishing what you’ve been sharing.

Quick question...is it normal to have what are essentially flashbacks to happy times? I don't understand what's happening. I just keep finding myself...not here, you know? Like earlier today I was lying down, trying to ease the pain in my gut and suddenly I felt as though I were in bed, in the house where we all used to live, listening to the sounds of my wife cooking downstairs and I made to get up and go down to see the kids...and then I was back on this dirty floor in a crumbling building. I don't know what's happening to me.
