Thanks Jan. It's funny, I use a size 3 here, but since none off the other threads seem to use other than default size, I feel awkward doing so in them. Kinda like as the new(ish) kid on the block, who is already great at thread stoppers,  I shouldn't do anything else that is too different from the norm.But what happens then is, I rarely post on other threads because reading the tiny font is just too hard.

I've tried to increase the size--I click on one of the larger numbers, but then the print goes back to normal.How do you get the size you choose to stick?

You can do it two ways. If you click on size first then you have to start typing your words between the brackets (insert curser betweeen and then start typing), or, after writing everything, highlight your words and then click on the size. I have an easier time this way as I can see my initial spacing better. Hth.

-click on the window (anywhere that is empty space within the "window") that you use to look at the internet. -press the CtL key (that stands for control and it is located in the lower left hand side of your keyboard) and the + (plus) key (located in the upper right hand portion of the main keyboard). -hold the CtL key down and keep pressing the + key till the information becomes magnified to a setting you can see! *you will need to do this each time you open this program from scratch but it is how i set up my browser and is how i am typing to you now. as i too have doubble vision and blurry vision severely! warmly, bobcat!

I was just watching a Medical Mystery type show about narcolepsy/catoplexy. It affects everyone a little differently. They showed a girl going into these episodes, where she could hear and see what was going on around her. She did tend to go into it quickly, but not all of them did. The older woman just kind of stopped moving. Nobody noticed for a few seconds anything was up with her, and her breathing/heartrate stopped to a point she woke up in a morgue! She was pronounced dead!  Thewre is some brain chemical they are studying that seems to get shut off in these people when they have certain good emotions. Happiness, being excited, laughing, etc seem to shut them down. Dogs who suffer from the same condition will lose control of their limbs when they eat or play vigorously. They quickly learn to lay down or they'll fall down. If I find a link to the show, I'll pm it to you. They are testing txs for these people with something that is simialr to what their brain is not making - seems to be working. Pretty bizarre, but interesting stuff.

Bobcat, thank you so much for the CONTROl and + suggestion! It zooms in finer increments than does my zoom control, much, much better.
You made my day!!

Someone had PMed me asked if I was doing any bet yet because it's been a long "flare". I don't remember things well and I didn't know that I had not post that I was doing better.
Well just to make sure everyone knows I am doing better, most of Jan. bad stuff was from the LP and all the sickness going around here and as my DH pointed out my SX were worst because of my fever. My feeling is the flare is over but I may just have numb legs from now on, that seams to be the real only lasting thing I have really going on right now other than the eye thing (it is still getting better tho). Oh and on the eye Dr, I don't think I'll be seeing him. It's back to the whole insurgents, he not on my plan so and money I pay will not go towards my deductible. Anyway DH said "No go" until we can work some out with them. The only other thing that's really going on is the odd face things. I still don't think it's TMJ because I don't really have jaw pain or clicking jaw. It's mostly my cheeks feel heavy. I don't like to use the "pain" word, it's not painful it's more of a not normal and a bit uncomfortable I guess, LOL.

Hey thanks for helping me and others out by raising this small font to a larger size.
And Brain I found some videos on My space or whatever those sites are that people take their own videos and post them. It showed that little girl who kept collapsing and a teen who kept falling down and all his friends were laughing at him. He finally asked that they put him on a couch since he could not remain upright. It was so sad. I dont have the sudden collapsing which is why I dont think its Cataplexy with Narcolepsy. I am open to what this Neuro thinks. He is rather excited that he may have been the one to dx me after nearly 15 plus years of these "episodes" I do think its autonomic dysfunction due to lesions. So does the Rheumy who wrote a letter saying what he "thinks" too. He also believes that is what caused my lesions due to uncontrolled BP as a result. I see this neuro on the 20th. Wish me luck...maybe soon, or this year I will get answers. ONe way they DX narcolepsy is by napping !!! If you fall into REM sleep quickly enough you are then DX with Narcolepsy. AND sometimes you "space out" means you are having "mini naps" cuz your brain is not getting enough rest during the night. There are all kinds of medical complications but its not progressive or terminal. Stay tuned... Jan |
