I feel like a filthy, disgusting rat that has been traipsing endlessly, throughout the sewers of the city all night.  And speaking of filthy, disgusting and night, I awoke from the worst nightmare of my entire life! Absolutely! Without question! Bar none! I will not disclose any of the content, lest I throw the majority [...]

I’m sure I’ve felt this scared at some point in my life before.  Perhaps? Maybe? I don’t know.  Perhaps not.  All I know is that I am very, very scared right now.  I was chatting with a couple of bloggers last night, and emailed another one this morning who have gotten various bits of this [...]

Take a look at my outermost sidebar.  Notice anything different?
Just something for people to have a gander at, if they choose? It’s all true, I swear! Plus, if you like legalese, it’s all there with the rollover! Apologies for the graphic.  Hard to display “white on white.”  I didn’t really want to muck about with [...]

Do not “freak out” when researching something on the Internet!!!
Crap.
Nonetheless, we’ve upped the ante on how emergent it is that I speak to Non-Arsey Neuro tomorrow.  Or possibly see him?
I read some information when I came home after my first tonic-clonic seizure, but I was too sick to look at it.  Therefore, I didn’t want [...]

My tonic-clonic Temperature Dysregulation! Can’t “Fix” It But I Can “Prove” It?

Now, we’ve got some PA Evidence going on! Hey, you can’t keep a Geeky, Aspie, Medical Researcher down (no matter how shitty she feels?)
This isn’t “Hard Science,” but oh, I think it’s even better! Why didn’t I think about this before? Why? I’ll tell you bloody, well why! Because I think this tonic-clonic really has [...]

My First tonic-clonic seizure…

September 3, 2009 in Cranky, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Head Injury, Health, Hospitalizations, Medicine, Neat Neuro Stuff, Seizures

This is sad.  Well, I am sad. It makes me sad.  I was really hoping this would not happen but I guess it did.  The possibility of it was always there but…? *sigh*
On the heels of the (nocturnal) seizure that I don’t know if I had or not…then it subsequently making me post-ictal for 48 [...]

To begin with, it is one thing not to be able to, or have difficulty at times, verbally expressing how you feel.  There is a term for it called Alexithymia.  According to the Wiki link, it is a “personality trait.”  However, since it can affect so many people in, shall we say, a “broad spectrum” [...]

Timing is NOT Everything!

*PA wants to cry* Well, I don’t know…I guess it’s good but…AHHH! Alright, Valium/Diazepam, cigarette…be right back! Okay, back now! Still spinning like a top but the Valium should hit me soon.
I was busy working on my massive, seizure hx. file for my new Neuro and guess who just called me after three months!!! The [...]

Hospital Thievery

Oh, I had forgotten to mention this! Despite all the horror (“Oh the humanity!”) they actually had pyjamas during my last hospital stay!  Now, hold on.  Please, make no mistake.  This is serious hospital inpatient business.
I have only had ‘jammies during my first stay.  Just bottoms then but still, much better than those awful half-dress-you-up [...]

God Bless Merlin #2 and Hospital? You Can Burn in HELL!

Let’s start with the Deities and then move on to the Demons, shall we?
I saw Merlin #2 a few days ago.  We had a relatively short appt.  Initially, we talked about the change to my new 300mg of Seroquel/Quetiapine XR, side effects that I have already blogged about and my mood(s.)  I said on that [...]
