If you find lots of links to podcasts and other sources, putting them in the Subforum above is a good idea, so they are easy to find in the future. Pick a title for the thread that includes the works "links" and podcasts so a search will reveal them easily.

Thanks!

I never have any facial pain, but I have numbness from my nose down often. It doesn't rate compared to the range of other issues and I tend to notice it only when I am either lying down or sitting and "relaxing" or pondering as I was doing now on lunch so I decided to reply.

Trunkwise, well externally no. Internally I feel gastrointestnally it is running rampant. When I went vegan I noticed a nice change in my excretion process, a regulation. Things were more normalized.

It was that way for the better part of the last two years, save the last two months. I have been a lighter eater for quite some time. I abhor a full feeling. It is uncomfortable. My system seems slow. It makes me think of that Bug Bunny cartoon with the big red hairy creature. My system is the red creature on ether. "I'll get you, raaaaabbbbitttttt...."

I do have a pig out every couple of days, which is certainly redefined from what it meant years ago. I understand I need a certain level of intake. There are days I miss the mark for sure. But power loading to catch up seems unwise.

I don't quite know what to make of my situation. We will see what we will out of this biopsy and if my neurologist is unwilling to poke further I think I have a lead on Weill Cornell in NYC. It may be time to take a week off and submit to a battery of tests with some of the heavy hitters.

But I am curious to see how this goes first and whether my local doctor is willing to step further with me.
