Quick post here; perhaps the post'll be shorter than the title but thats fine - I'm secure in the length of my... oops, must be too much spam!

On the bright side, I'm glad the spammers thoughtfully think of ways to enlarge my penis. And then, they repeatedly send it to me. Day after freakin' day. Sigh. Oh well.

So, I met with a new neurologist yesterday. What do I know so far? More than before but less than I'd like. Let's see, he basically disagreed with the other doc citing some of my concerns, which made me feel like I was right in questioning the first diagnoses. Yes, that's plural, because there were initially three. I have a brain MRI and an EEG set up for next week. That should tell us more. In the mean time he truly feels this is a central nervous system (CNS) disorder. Eh, not so great. But we're working on it and I feel like he's listening and communicating.

I'm beginning to hate people on cell phones. Rude, rude, rude mo fos that are going to test my last bit of patience. Do not sit in a public place talking about 'baby daddy' then give me stink eye because I make too much noise or wander too close. In a friggin public place. Bring it on! Bring it on! {Enter image of LiVEwiRe doing weaving, bobbing, dodging, shadowboxing maneuvers.}

yeah, I understand the personal satisfaction of knowing the other docs were wrong and U knew it ;) I am not sure U like the new semi-diagnosis though. . .(if it turns out in my case with me ENT specialist the same way, darn I won't be too happy to know he was wrong and I am right. his diagnosis is much more reassuring and w/o sideeffects as mine ;p )

remains the fact that knowign the truth is very satisfactory

Not hard to imagine you bobbing and weaving. Not hard at all ;)
P'raps 'cos the memory of how you feel is so fresh in my mind... although in my case it was some tonsil-hockey going on right next to my left ear on the commuter train this morning. Pleasant.

So at this stage are we rooting for the CNS thing..?

PS The colour of your post today? Much easier on the eyes. And I don't even have my glasses with me today so that's saying something. "Vibrating eyeballs" indeed LOL!!!

I hate the cell phones themselves. Makes me feel superior.

Tigress - True, sometimes being right can be the worse of the two choices. But once you truly know, then you know what it is and how to handle it. Still, wouldn't it be great to have a nice CHEERY diagnosis? ;)

eKapa - Well hello again! Yeah, those spammers are really barking up the wrong tree with me, too! Serves them right. How funny you should mention the little light on cell phones that is so disturbing! I thought it was only me! That takes my attention so quickly. Unless you are really important (and even important people get time off) - shut it off! I hope things are going well for you! Take care.

Terri - Yeah, I'm thinking that the darker colors may fare better than the lighter ones. Still not sure where it's all going... maybe day glo orange next week? ;) You should have smacked one of the two (I'm assuming it was just two...) 'hockey' players upside the head! Ew! As far as the CNS thing, it could be mildly annoying to severely debilitating. More tests will tell, but it's a real guessing game for now.

Jay - You've gotta watch it; they'll surely come up with a built in feature for the cell to retaliate against anyone emitting those vibes. These are crafty things.

I'm thinking postive thoughts for you as far as the diagnois. Buffy is too, so that should mean something good.

And I agree with you about cell phones. I have one and couldn't live without it, but god, when did everyone have to have their cellphone out and talking every second of the day. And text messaging gets to me too, espeically when I'm in a car with someone and they're driving and than the start text messaging. Sorry, I'd like to live a little longer, get off your phone.

Good luck with the EEG and MRI next week. Two more steps that'll get you closer to an accurate diagnosis.
Don't get me started on cell phones, blue tooth in particular. Rude mofos indeed.

John - Aw thanks, you and Buffy are the best! The Buffy vibes have to be a positive thing. My cell is often the only way to reach me, so I support them, but just like anything, people abuse it. Texting and driving should be treated the same as a DUI in my opinion. Putting others in danger without chemical alteration to the brain - nice.

Chitty - Thanks! =) I wish I could get a pic of me with all the electrodes stuck to my head during the EEG. For some reason I think it's kind of funny but I've had one in the past so it's no big thing. Oh yeah, I know your particular love of bluetooth. I still get a chuckle when it looks like they're walking around talking to themselves. Tests my patience!
