Good to see you had a long talk. Talking is a great thing. Talking with loved ones is even better.

I myself have so few family members. Both my parents were only children. So I have no aunts, uncles, or cousins. My wife is an only child. I have no in-laws at all. We have just each other, our 2 sons, and 3 grandchildren. I have a brother 1500 miles away, and his ex-wife and 2 kids. That is the ENTIRE family.

For my problem, I found a resident doctor at a hospital that spent 2 hours with me. We still do not know what is going on, but are working on a best guess that I may be having, "Complex Hemiplegic Migraines." They resemble a stroke but are not. Trying a med that MAY help if this is what it is. Maybe!

Good luck and keep trying. Don't beat yourself up over a rough spell - Just keep talking.
