    Health Problems

    I don't know he said they could test to see if your body is absorbing it. I don't know how, maybe they give you a mass dose and compare it. It's the university medical center with both an internist and neurologist and they said prepare to stay several days if needed until they find the problem.

    What do you do?

    CAD is a good skill to have, if you have some knowledge of what you are drawing. That's how I got started in what I do now. But guys who only know CAD are cubicle drones who don't make the greatest in pay. Someone else has to tell them what to draw. People who know what the finshed product...

    Health Problems

    I haven't been tested yet. I go to have the other B12 related test Tuesday. Just went ahead and took a B12 shot since it's cheap when they mentioned it. Lab that does them right here.

    Health Problems

    Yes. Serious abdominal pain and non stop constipation. Of course both of those are common to MS. The pain being called the MS hug, but from what I've read and been told it comes and goes and last a few days maybe a few weeks. Mine started soon after my 5 days of corticosteroid infusion. Which I...

    Volkswagen gets busted.

    Keep supporting VW. Without support the Germans won't be able to prop up thousands of Syrians flooding to their country. That's what Jeremy Clarkson said yesterday.

    What do you do?

    The problem with being a cad drafter is you have to have a background of what you are drawing. You can train a monkey to draw and dimesion shit in CAD. $20/hour is pretty low even in the south for someone that knows about what they are drawing and how it will be built. I started as a CAD...

    Volkswagen gets busted.

    I registered my vehicle in San Antonio (Bexar county) earlier this year and they didn't test it either. Not exactly the sticks.

    What tickles your pickle

    Yeah sat down at the Cotulla cafe during hunting season and they started talking at the table next to us about going to hunt at XYZ ranch. My friend who was with me worked for Texas Parks and Wildlife and knew the ranch. Struck up a conversation and they joined us for breakfast and we mostly...

    Health Problems

    Anyone dealt with a B12 deficiency? That's the new "theory". I tested really low for it. Apparently B12 deficiency is known as the MS mimic. It can also produce lesions in the brain and back if it's bad enough. It's possible I guess it was low and the lesions were formed by the ADEM which is an...

    Had breakfast with Craig Biggio and Bagwell one morning in a cafe in South, TX which is where I have run into more "famous" people. People with money getting out of town to go hunting.

    What do you do?

    I didn't have any traffic for most of the drive. The big drawback was the I-10 bridge in town over the MS river. It would take on average 30 minutes to go 2 miles to cross it. Only part of I-10 between CA and FL where it necks down to one lane exiting the bridge to stay on I-10. If I left at...

    I've met a fair number of "famous" people. Only two have been getting gas. The other is I met Hank Williams at a gas station in small town of 200 in East Texas about 25 years ago. Did my thesis research on property that belonged to Willie Nelson, got to meet some interesting people there a...

    I didn't know anyone who commuted less than 30 minutes except the shop foreman. His mother in law died and left him a house around the corner. He could have walked to work but he said he was afraid a guy from the shop would run over him lol. I commuted 1-1/2 hours and I would say on average...

    What do you do?

    The industry I work in is pretty tight knit. I wouldn't even put by request tho. I just leave it off until they ask. There's a 99% chance anybody they put down they will know or know someone pretty close to them. I've asked for a few of them. I don't really call and ask about soandso. It...

    Looking for a professional medical opnion RE: MS and Spinal Taps

    Glad you are headed in the right direction on that now anyway. I don't think you had any chance of being accused as a Dr. shopper with something like MS. People who shop doctors for disability do so with the disability of the month type of stuff I would think. People with actual debilitating...

    I wouldn't ever stop to eat Mexican food while in the state of MS, which I believe is where he is from. Just like I would never eat "cajun" food while in San Antonio.

    He didn't get a bad reference because he didn't ask. I think he didn't ask because he knew he would have got a bad one. I do always ask/inform someone ahead of time normally tho.

    I tried to find such a house. Apparently the agents where I looked only knew two phrases. Granite countertops and crown moulding. They literally couldn't fathom someone buying a smaller or older house in an effort to get more land or at least a place to build a shop. All they wanted to show...

    Met a "famous" person while getting gas this afternoon. This is the 2nd time it's happened, both while getting gas lol. Nobody you would be interested in, but it was interesting to me. Just odd to get out and get gas in the middle of nowhere and realise the person that pulls up behind you is...
