David's book is so jammed pack full of research. It's amazing how much we don't know about our world and universe. If you have an open mind, you'll love it. Left-brained, controlling individuals might pooh-pooh everything in the book and call it "pseudo science." I was going to go to a conference he's having this weekend but my MG had other plans.

.......I´m going to a conference in a few days and am planning to meet my first live MG friend. I think I have overplanned but am very excited The conference is the stable element that is always going to be there - But I´m just thinking, what are the chances of two myasthenics feeling well enough to meet each other on the same day at
exactly the same time!!!

Oh you are going to love it!!! I can't really describe the feeling but it is good.
Mike

I agree, it is nice to meet someone else with MG! Sending good thghts your way that both of you are feeling great at that time!

So sorry about MG overruling your week-end plans, Annie.

The only thing predictable about MG is its unpredictability.
This is one of the factors of MG that I have difficulties with = especially when I am forced to miss an event or opportunity I had been looking forward to.

Take care of yourself, Annie.


p.s. An interesting book I just finished is:

Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking by Malcolm Gladwell

My opinion is that some of our over-thinking, over-analyzying physicians (mostly neuros) might benefit from reading this book.

LOL - don't quote me though.

I happen to be pretty "okay" with my current neuro's treatment plan and the professional and respectful manner in which I am treated.

It's just a couple of those other guys who I have dealt with who might be receiving free copies anonymously from me.

Yes, read that book. i believe Malcomn has another out. ginnie

I now have ALL the books in this thread sitting in front of me, looking fwd 2 reading them all

The one I absolutely must start with first is this one:

Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking by Malcolm Gladwell ..............

´But Gottman, it turns out, can teach us a great deal about a critical part of rapid cognition known as thin-slicing.
"Thin-slicing" refers to the ability of our unconscious to find patterns in situations and behavior based on very narrow slices of experience´

A good friend also recommended another one which hasn´t arrived yet:

Yes keep on reading! Currently I just finished a whopper called "Partical At The End of The Universe" I have read physics for about 10 years, and this one went way deeper into all the particles, how they fit together, and just what the Higgs field and Higgs partical is. Very in depth reading and well over my head. I started "Cloud Atlas" last night. Interesting beginning.... the language is very different.

Have a good holiday, and let me know what you read. I won't live long enough to read all the books I want to! take care, ginnie

Thanks Ginnie! I looked up both of those but would probably need another lifetime to read & understand them!!!!!!!
BTW... I´m worried I won´t live long enough to learn all that I´d like to learn!

For example:

......be a pop star
.....study medicine full time
.......study violin full time
.......Phd studies
.......become proficient in at least 3 dances
.......voice lessons
.....become a gourmet chef
........get a degree in IT
........study neuroscience
........study history
.......politics
.......sociology
.......psychology

Take care U2

Yep, I want to learn more too! Make a bucket list, and start checking them off. Even if you did just a couple of them, it makes you feel so much better!
I think some of those on your list may just be doable! ginnie
