Computer Crash/Medical Issues Long Absence
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2007 11:12 am
Hi Guys And Gals....Just wanted to stop in and explain my absence and let you know that I wouldn't be in much for a while. 
Well one my computer did a major nose dive. The motherboard and harddrive crashed. If it would have been one or the other it might have been fixable, but no it had to be both. We even had the tech send the harddrive back to the factory and they said that the harddrive had heated up so bad that it had cracked all 3 discs inside. So nothing was able to be retrieved off of it. 
Secondly, I've been dealing with a major health issue. I've always had what I called tremors. Never thought about it. Never paid much attention to them. Told the doctor about them and they never listened. Well a few weeks ago I started having more. But there was something else that happened too.
I'm 38 and I've been drunk maybe 4 times in my life. Well anyway we had a friend over and we decided to have a few drinks. So my husband had bought 2 bottles of wine for me and something for our friend and something for himself....we each like different things. Anyway. Since no one had to work, etc. we decided to drink.....I drank a bottle and a half in about 20 min. I went from sober to drunk in under 30 minutes flat. In the next 30 minutes I started having major "tremors". It took these 2 full grown men to hold me on the bed and keep me from bodily throwing myself on the floor. My husband threatened to call paramedics, I said no that the "tremors" would go away. An hour later they did, then I collapsed from exhaustion from them. I didn't passout from the wine. I had an appointment with one of my phyicians the next week and my husband made sure I mentioned my "tremors" to him. As I spoke to him, he questioned me and the more we spoke the more he questioned. Come to find out that my "tremors" aren't "tremors" they are seizures. Of course the drinking had made it worse, so I got chewed out for that. LOL but I knew that.
They are now getting ready to start running some tests. They are whats called jacksonian seizures, they think. They are a form of epileptic seizure. A marching seizure. It starts small like in the tip of the hand and marches up the hand in to the body and gets worse. I don't loose concisousness or alertness. But I'm tired when it's over. My muscles hurt. They will run an EEG first, then if necessary an MRI or CT scan. But hopefully they can be controlled with medication. Some of which I am already on and they've adjusted already. So we'll see how that goes. But I have to limit my time on the computer as well for a while. That is one drawback for now.
Well I just wanted to let everyone know where I've been that I hadn't died or dropped off the face of the earth. LOL Thanks for listening.
