My Neurologist says I happened to catch the Indian variety of TM‹we have so many Indians and other South Asians working here as expats. The Indian variety is actually new and as yet not fully described. The Japanese form is what afflicts most, unfortunately, since it most always paralyzes and comes on very quickly.
I am very happy nonetheless. These lost says are OK for me now, since I am in my 60's and have no physical goals or burdens to deal with, now that I can no longer work as Associate Professor and lecturer. Never mind; lots of stuff to write, study and think about. And I got a mandolin to learn to play. My brother plays and we will make music together, as we did when we were all kids. That's what you did in those days, we made our own music. My mother sang, Dad played his mandolin, my sister played the piano, and my brother was on the guitar. So, what's the problem? I was just curious if anyone else had these continuous and on-going spells. Thanks, all, Dalton Dalton H.
