I have to laugh at this one........especially because it's TOTALLY true for me

at

times when I'm already suceptable to having problems. As a child, complex

thinking (math UGH!) didn't

cause seizures/myclonic jerks (just temper tantrums) because I didn't have full

blown seizures then, but it can

(and frequently DOES) trigger them now :-)

Another thing that I've found out as an adult from my SUPER WONDERFUL neuro

opthamolgist

is the act of focusing eyes on close objects can also cause seizures, myclonic

jerks, etc.

It's caused " convergence insufficiency " . He said that most regular docs and

neurologists

are unaware of this.

I just finished several months of intensive vision training designed to re-train

the areas of the brain that control it (that health insurance paid for!) .

Outcome?....um, well.....

I mention this primarily because I was just wondering if the little twins who

are having trouble feeding themselves

without neuro problems would have the same trouble blinfolded....Well it was

just a thought that flashed by.
