My (Very Early Morning) EEG

November 20, 2009 in ADD, Asperger's, Bipolar Disorder, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Head Injury, Hospitalizations, Humour, Life is Stranger Than Fiction, Medicine, Meds, Neat Neuro Stuff, PTSD, Seizures

Ugh.  I’m still waiting for the Tea Faeries to alight upon my shoulders, with blessings of sweet caffeine relief, but to no avail…  Yes, I was up very early this morning (after staying up a little late?) for another EEG!
Let’s just say the whole thing started off with a bang.  Literally.  The hospital’s revolving door’s [...]

Networks of Contagion: From the Social to the Psyche and Back

November 17, 2009 in Asperger's, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Humour, Literary, Medicine, Meds, Neat Neuro Stuff, Profanity, You Decide

I’m going to try and keep this as succinct as possible, so you won’t start (yawning and), fall asleep!
I’ve been noticing for a while on Twitter, that when people express themselves, they tend to change their writing styles to that of whom they meet and Follow.  Certain acronyms, emoticons, abbreviations…all of these things get used [...]

The Flashback That Didn’t Flash Back

November 13, 2009 in ADD, Asperger's, Bipolar Disorder, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Health, Medicine, PTSD, Patient Advocacy, Therapy, You Decide

That Post Title is actually a lie.  If you’re not already familiar with PTSD, or you don’t have it, flashbacks always do “Flash Back” in one form or another.  That’s just the nature of PTSD.  You never know when flashbacks will hit, what they’ll be like, what to expect…  But I’ll bet you my last [...]

I Received a Very Special Privilege and Honour Today

This morning I found out that I was considered for an award, and received an “Honorary Mention” from Psych Central. If you haven’t heard of them, they are pretty awesome. They have been recognized and received accolades themselves. I should have blogrolled them ages ago, but PA can be a little bit [...]

Peaceful, post-ictal MP3

October 25, 2009 in Blogging, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Head Injury, Health, MP3 of the Moment, Medicine, Neat Neuro Stuff, Religion, Seizures, You Decide

These women are so amazing.  I heard of them recently and was not sure how they would compare with my blessed Tallis Scholars (an a capella en semble that sings Scared Music.)  The Tallis Scholars are from Oxford, England.  These ladies are based in New York City.  Let me tell you, they are quite like [...]

BAD, BAD Seizure!

October 24, 2009 in ADD, Cranky, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Head Injury, Health, Medicine, Meds, Neat Neuro Stuff, Patient Advocacy, Seizures, Therapy

Alright, let’s move back a bit to the beginning of my day, prior to when I exploded last night.  Something was desperately wrong with me.  I felt like I was permanently living in a state of Orthostatic Hypotension.  I was so dizzy, felt so faint, and like you could knock me over by simply blowing [...]

Not.So.Good.So.Far.

October 21, 2009 in ADD, Asperger's, Bipolar Disorder, Cranky, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Head Injury, Health, Hospitalizations, Medicine, Meds, Neat Neuro Stuff, PTSD, Seizures, Therapy

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 [...]

Simple Partial Seizure Notation

October 19, 2009 in Facts About Patient Anonymous, Head Injury, Health, Medicine, Meds, Neat Neuro Stuff, Seizures

I’m kinda baked so I’m putting this here.  Well, I think they’re all here anyway but I’ll add it to my big document later.
Epigastric rising, unsure of rapid eye blinking but did not seem to occur. *shakes head* Epigastric rising lasted several (app. five?) minutes.  During said time period, minor motor spasms in right leg [...]

New MP3

I seem to be in a bit of a blogging funk, which is fine.  It happens.  I’ve been trying to do a bit more personal writing, but I’m not so sure I’m producing much there, either! At least I’m thinking about it, though.  However, I still don’t want my blog to go “stale.”  Things just [...]

Stop the Presses! I’m Eating! And Toe Tapping to A New MP3 Too!

No, I’m serious.  This is actually worthy of “Breaking News!”
My body is weird.  At least from the inside.  I think it’s alright from the outside? *shrug* Still, I don’t eat.  This can be traced back to a variety of reasons.  However, in the immediate, it has tended to work “backwards” in a certain way regarding [...]
