I have since posted a link in another email in this same thread. I believe it was referred to and discussed in this list in May, also which is why I didn't refer to it at the time. I've been writing from bed this week.
Terribly sorry for any slack at the moment, I'm on half cylinders, but I am working on being rigorous -- but I am in and out of the ER this week, and without a bit of assistance locally, I'm getting little help from the medical community, you may not hear much of me ever, not to be a drama queen about it. Sorry to be OT, but if there are people in Boston who can help me with transport for dr's and such, drop me a line. I'm on the edge of rough here, living on my own and rather catastrophically ill. A little humor since I am oversharing: I have been suffering from a number of symptoms which we have new information on now because they have gotten worse -- it may be that I had a cerebral hemorrhagic stroke in 2007 when I left Tor and my HMO covered it up because they misdiagnosed it as food poisoning, and the penalties here are no different for that sort of fraud than for the misdiagnosis to begin with. Among other things this meant they left me with no rehab services whatsoever. I told my neurologist that I was much improved in July and went to CFP2013 in DC, after they gave me steroids for a back injury -- met with some of the best internet privacy experts in the world to talk about this NSA business, started to organize a new nonprofit. Rather than believing me, he wrote me up for neuropsych testing as paranoid, I think. Maybe bipolar. Special. He didn't want me to show him anything on a computer or get "too excited." I was actually scared. I couldn't object much because, as a charity case, he has the power to put me in for involuntary commitment, if he likes. But he did order a new MRI. That found old calcifications (hemorrhage scars, basically) along my falx. I've had daily migraines, epilepsy, and a raft of symptoms for six years -- nothing remotely pleasant. And it's getting worse suddenly, possibly because I overextended in DC. I'm experiencing partial paralysis in my legs, and full double vision and loss of homeostasis. But because my prior stasis was not so hot, and because my neurologist has now marked me down as "asking for steroids and drugs" and "possible paranoid" as a charity case, I'm not getting much help here from the safety net. It would be funny if it were in a novel. So it's rather less grand than saving the world, but on a micro scale -- I should like to be available to do more work in this field. And the steroids did help and there's a possibility that if I could get someone other than this asshat to listen to me, I could get some decent care. But I'm having the devil's own time getting around at all. If you know anyone in Boston with time to help, please send them my way -- I have no local family but my 92-year-old mom in a nursing home, and I'm a bit sunk at the moment. Sorry to get personal, but at this point it might literally be survival...
