And I repeat, thanks y'all for the welcome!!


Anyways, AfterMyNap:

I'm not from MI... Been there a lot and know that 31 and 131 are two of the state's main lifelines... Good old 31 describes my longitude close enough, nonetheless. And where I live, at the 40'N parallel, 31 is in fact the Meridian!

...or wait, did you mean MI as in the state of mental illness? In that zone I'm blessed with Major Depression, Narcolepsy, AD/HD, and the neuropsychiatric syndromes I mentioned in my earlier post. (n.B. - Some residents have argued that Michigan and mental illness are essentially the same state.)

Also Darlene, thanks for your welcome!

And uh-oh, I think I have some more complaining to do...!

Being in the realm of neuroscience academically, the clinic I sought "care" at during most of 2006 and half of 2007 automatically assumed that the disorder was imaginary, i.e., "all up in my head" (this was before the generalized infection symptoms got really bad). Interestingly, they were actually right, it WAS all up in my head! (Though literally.) Mild hydrocephalus with evidence of diffuse micro-infarcts in the SND (parkinson) area. Probably will be stuck with coordination issues and tremor the rest of my life, apparently the dementia is reversible with infection treatment and relief of increased ICP... I think I mentioned that all already, not sure...

but yeah

thanks guys!
