Yes, we conquer them with the Mighty Remote Control of Justice.

Little did you gals realize that when you take the remote, the very

existence of the universe is in jeopardy!

There's not much that a valium won't take the edge off. What's even

better is Percocet. I got those after my hernia op, and I liked

them a LOT. If he'd told me Percocet was the treatment for restless

legs, I'd have been doing the can-can in his office.

But I guess I'll go look for boring old vitamins. My stomach (and,

you know, guts) have been so much better the last couple of months,

I've started ever so slowly adding things back in I didn't useta be

able to eat. So far so good. Maybe it's time to try a multivitamin

again. The improvement couldn't be because of the Armour, of

course. I probably just had Restless Intestines.

That's good to know. I can't ever remember having that feeling

though, so I'm not sure I have it anyway. Makes sense it's a hypo

symptom -- who else could only exercise when they're sleeping?

Okay, I couldn't resist, I had to show my wife this post. She read

the part I wrote, looked at me, and said absolutely deadpan, " So,

that was funny? " . She considers it her job to keep my ego in check

(no small feat, but she manages). The truth is, I'm the lucky one.

After 21 years and 3 kids, we can communicate across the room

without words (it wierds out the kids like you wouldn't believe!).

I'd be lost without her -- literally! One of her many jobs is to

remind me where I was supposed to be driving.

As for writing, it was always one of my dreams. Maybe back when my

brain worked, I had a shot at it, although there's a big difference

between writing a book, or a weekly column on deadline, and knocking

off a smart-aleck paragraph occasionally when the mood strikes you.

Real writing is a lot harder than it looks. I have nothing but

respect for those who can do it. Well, OK, respect and a little

jealousy. Besides, I've been writing software for 20 years now, so

I can do it in my sleep (which is good, because that's how I usually

do it).

But thanks for your comments. I find writing things like that to be

cathartic. It's much better to be sarcastic than bitter.

Oh, yeah, you missed some GREAT stuff. Too bad, now it's gone. :-)

As for the book, maybe a point-counterpoint? Have a doctor write a

chapter about how great TSH is or something, and then we could rip

it to shreds in the next chapter. The collective wisdom and

intelligence in this group is amazing. It would be like squashing

bugs with a sledgehammer.

Thanks, that is *exactly* the kind of info I was hoping to get.

What did it feel like? Did it wake you up? Was it worse in the

morning? How did the neurologist diagnose it?

Wow, I have more questions than a two year old tonight.
